Narrative Representation in 3 Slasher Opening Task TBC

Considering what to expect in the film e.g. sex age textuality, archetype and include your own interpretation. Always back it up with a specific detail from what you can see from the text and use semiotics to denote and connote and explain and say why the signifiers were used and why they were chosen to be shown.
E.g. A red rose connotes romance.
look at the characters clothing and how they speak.
E.g. Adult figures of authority and showing their power to inferior characters such as children.

Stereotypes:

• Evil characters are seen as the outsiders or abnormal characters
• Hero characters will come across as shy and timid sometimes

The three opening slasher scenes that i have looked at are, Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie,2009), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Marcus Nispel, 2003) and A Nightmare on Elm street (Samuel Bayer, 2010).
