In terms of content I would still say that this genre is horror because of the overall narrative of the show for example a boy goes missing and the narrative is to figure out who took him and why.
2) Complete the activity on page 1 of the Fact sheet: find a clip on YouTube of the opening of a new TV drama series (season 1, episode 1). Embed the clip in your blog and write an analysis of the narrative markers that help establish setting, character and plot.
In season 1 episode 1 of stranger things the show starts off with 4 friends who are all playing a game together. it is late outside and they decide to head home, this is when one of them takes a path through a forest to get home. When he gets home he starts to realise that there may be an intruder in his shed. When he goes to the shed the light flickers and this is when Will disappears.
3) Provide three different examples from film or television of characters that fit Propp's hero character role.
From stranger things Mike fits Prop's character role because he is always leading the team and on numerous occasions he has risked himself to safe his friends.
From Arrow Oliver Queen fits the hero role because he saves lives as a superhero which means that he is willing to put others before himself and this would fit Props role.
From the Flash Barry Allen fits the hero role because he also is willing to save other instead of himself people that he doesnt eve know. Also, he is very brave and doesn't fear much.
4) Give an example of a binary opposition.
Good vs Evil Protagonist vs antagonist
5) What example is provided in the Factsheet for the way narratives can emphasise dominant ideologies and values?
6) Why do enigma and action codes (Barthes) offer gratifications for audiences?
7) Write a one-sentence summary of the four different types of TV narrative:
- Episodic narrative (the series)
- Overarching narrative (the serial)
- Mixed narrative
- Multi-strand overlapping narrative (soap narrative)
