Authorship-Quentin Tarantino
Essay
plan
1.Scene-The slaves are freed
Bar shoot out
Point-
The style used in both scenes are
very exaggerated. Similarly to a graphic novel, they use bright colours when showing
blood and the violence is often unrealistic. The unrealistic effects remind the
audience that the plot lines are not historically correct and instead are just
fantasies. There is a reflecting shot showing Shoshanna and the Nazi sign creating a comparison between the heroes and villains.
Message-
Do the effects make the story less serious?
2.Scene-KKK scene
Ending scalp scene
Point-The
films challenge stereotypes of genre, however some conform more than others.
The challenges genres include war and western. By not conforming to the
stereotypes it makes the films controversial as they have serious plots and messages.
Blaxploitation. The genres are challenged to add humour to the films and to
again remind the audience that the revenge is just a fantasy. The scalp scene uses different angles to show the heroes in the film, however it creates empathy for the Nazi confusing the title of a stock hero.
Message-What
is the result of making the films controversial?
3.Scene-Ending shooting
Cinema massacre
Point-The
theme of revenge is a large part in Tarantinos films as a lot of his films are set during historical events. Themes used are adventure, prejudice, violence, religion and adventure. The revenge allows a CHN ending. The revenge is shown in such way which creates sympathy for the villains in both films, but more in Inglorious Basterds as we do not see as much violence to the Jews.
Message- Is violence the way for revenge and a happy ending?
Is it okay to cheer the death of the villain?
Incomplete. You will need more than 3 scenes to compare for a 2000 word essay.
ReplyDeleteI am unsure of what your study is on - the title is authorship but there is no conclusion or thesis so this doesn't really make sense or work as an essay plan.
Authorship is about 1. style 2. themes - that the director uses in their movie (we did this with Danny Boyle lesson 1). Your essay should therefore focus in exploring what these are and give examples that show they develop across 2 of his films (where he may work across genres and rework them in his own way).
You have done this but with no where near the depth expected to turn this into an essay next week.
You need to separate the essay into 3 sections as you have, but sub divide these until you have enough points and examples to prove each point.
Advice: Keep genre for your conclusion, in your intro establish what makes a director an author. (style & theme)
Then get 5 key scene from each film that are comparable based on the point you are making (style or themes).
Your conclusion could be that he reworks genre using his own style to explore his themes and imprint his authorial mark of the movie - the acting is very important as is the dialogue.
Look at the video essay on Tarantino and food to see what a thematic essay looks like
So far you are pre essay plan stage so
D - but you have a good study - you need to invest the time into developing your points and justifying them
