Narrative concept

Deadpool

Todorov's equilibrium:
From the the first few seconds, there is a equilibrium as there is harmony and they haven’t encountered any trouble. As the three characters on shot are walking towards a fight with confidence and the editing used to make it slow motion show the audience that they are in harmony. However, at 00:12 seconds, from the mise en scene of the facial express, you can tell something has gone wrong. The disequilibrium is the moment that they find out that they have forgotten their equipment in the taxi. This disruption will slightly confuse the audience  and create the mystery of what will happen next as it does not follow the general happy ending. There is also  another disequilibrium of the driver getting in a car crash and the victim in his trunk shouting.This will make the audience feel that there is no hope for for the 3 hero in the beginning of the scene.From this clip there aren't any new equilibrium as it happened after this clip when they win the fight and get the girl back.
Barthes' action and enigma codes
In this clip, their are a lot of enigma codes to create mystery and keep the audience interested. The first enigma code is the three main characters that are walking is slow motion. This is a enigma code as most slow motion editing is used mostly before something important happen on a storyline. It is mostly used in action movie as well as sci-fi movie before the hero defeats the villain. At 00:20 seconds, the driver drops the phone which the audience can suggest that he is anxious,after this the action code of him crashing the car reinforce that he anxious and the audience find out why when they hear someone screaming at the back of the car. An action code is is a event that is important for the narrative to carry on. Another enigma code is when people appear with guns so the audience will think that something is about to start.Afterwards, there is a action when the women, a villain, hit one of the three character, the hero's, on the face which will start fight and the audience can denote that.
Propp's stock characters
From this very short clip from the movie, the audience can find out where the characters belong to Propp's stock characters
The Villain: The man and woman at 1:13 as well as the soldier with guns
The Donor: The taxi driver
The Helper:  Colossus(metal man) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead(teen girl on the left).
The Princess: copycat( you do not see her in the clip)
The Dispatcher: Deadpool sent himself
The Hero: Deadpool
The False Hero: The doctor in the beginning of the movie

The big bang theory
Todorov's equilibrium:
Because this is a TV series, it will have Todorov's equilibrium theory in every episode they produce to keep audience happy. They will have a different equilibrium ,disequilibrium and  new equilibrium every episode but have a storyline through the seasons so audiences come back to watch. They have a lot of cliffhangers and disequilibrium through the season as well. From the the first few seconds, there is a equilibrium as there is harmony and they haven’t encountered any trouble. When they are setting down and Sheldon is introducing his girlfriend, there is nothing wrong.The disequilibrium is the moment that Sheldon's girlfriend, Amy, says that his work isn't important. This disruption will slightly confuse the audience  and create the mystery of what will happen next as Sheldon response. You can tell from his facial expression that he didn't like the comment.From this clip, you cannot see any new equilibrium as it will happened after that clip of ad break.
Barthes' action and enigma codes
In TV shows, they have a lot of enigma and action codes to keep audiences interested as in TV there’re Ad breaks. Beause of this,they tend to use an excess amount of these codes that sometimes doen’t work and keep the audince uninterested.However, this is only becuase there is so much enteriment around the audience that they can choose from and most people in the mordern day have very low attendance spand.In this clip, there aren't a lot of enigma and action codes to create mystery and keep the audience interested. An action code is a event that is important for the narrative to carry on.  An enigma code is to keep people watching interested. The first enigma code is when sheldon's girlfriend says that his work is pointless.This creates a lot of tension to grab the audience. There isn’t a clear action code but Amy leaving the table could set the narrative of the episode which is about them disagreeing. This can expand to more episodes to develop the characters conflict to interg audiences.
Propp's stock characters
From this very short clip from the show, the audience can find out where some of the characters belong to Propp's stock characters. However, this can change with different episodes and season as they bring new people in and out.

The Villain: it will very on the episode, Amy is seen to be a villiain for disagreeing but can be Sheldon too
The Donor: no one helps him
The Helper: no Helper
The Princess: Sheldon
The Dispatcher: none
The Hero: could be both Amy and Sheldon
The False Hero: Amy as she was was normal at the start of the clip but disagreed with Sheldon that started the fight

By using darker colours , it make the audience feel that something is hidden to create mystery . It can also show the he is negative because black is linked with his mood.  You could say the black absorbs light and say he is learning from mistakes or that 50 cent doesn't emitted anything so he keep a lot of thing to himself. Using a simple black and white colour scheme make the consumer think more about his life and how simple it was when he was a child.  The close up show us that he is being personal. In addition, the font used is a typewrite to show what he learnt before technology.  Furthermore, fingerprint can show us that he has done a lot of crime in his time to become who he is now. The words "i am" is with 50 cent side and "what i am" to show that he did the crime to become who he is now.  The line in the middle could suggest that there is a good and bad side to him but can also show that he is no longer connect with crime. 50 cent is looking

Presentation LR

My own power point, www: I had a handout that had good information that could intrigued the audience. It allowed the audience to have something to take from the presentation so they can use it when revising.  The starter involved the audience when so that the lesson started in a good mood and where more interested afterwards. I spoke about what they own and what they use their money on so that the audience knows how the company became more powerful. EBI I could of asked question to the audience so they could interacted with me and i could of made sure that the lesson was meaningful. This make sure that they take something away from the lesson.  explain the slide more so that the audience knew everything on screen. have a better ending so that the audience could of had a overall coclusion to finish the lesson.
