Tim O'Sullivan argues all media texts tell a story
Media texts offer a way of telling stories about ourselves - stories of us as a culture
He also argues that narratives have a common structure such as an establishment of the theme, the development of the problem and finally an increase of tension.
This relates to my media video as it does tell a story and my story shows the empowerment of women in our era and culture...
My video begins with the establishment of the theme of heartbreak as my protagonist leaves the male heartbroken in the church, then the problem develops as she moves on to her next target and leaves Jacko in the middle of the night leading to an increase of tension.
TERMINOLOGY
- NARRATIVE: THE STRUCTURE OF A STORY
- DIEGESIS: THE FICTIONAL SPACE AND TIME IMPLIED BY THE NARRATIVE - THE WORLD IN WHICH THE STORY TAKES PLACE
Pam Cook 1985 argues standard narrative structure should have a linarity of cause and effect with overall enigma
A high degree of narrative closure
A fictional world that contains verisimiltude
This could also relate to my music video since it does have cause an effect e.g. the marriage falling apart and then Jamie's depression. There is an overall enigma as there is a myster of whether to homewrecker will be caught or get away with it.
My video also has a high degree of closure since it ends on a cliff hanger: who will she move on to next? Will she ever be caught? I think it does contain realistic features of space and time.
Kate Domaillie suggested that stories could be fitted into one of eight stereotypes
Candide - the indomitable hero who cannot be put down e.g. Rocky
Circe: the innocent and the victim, the spide and the fly
Orpheus: the loss of something personal
This related to my music video since the Candide could be my unscated homewrecker. The Circes could be the innocent men who get their hearts broken and Orpheus, loss of something personal is the loss of love.
