Narrative forms

Question - evaluate how successfully your film develops one of the key narratives listed? The film 'portal' develops a narrative by the elements of mystery, character development and the twist it holds at the end of the film. Throughout the film the surroundings and actions of the main character is used to create a narrative where there is a huge twist at the end of the film this twist occurs when their is a reversal of fortune for the main character where as we start to find out that she is in a simulation as the character begins to think she has escaped the 'prison' but in fact she is trapped in a simulation, however certain audiences may have realised this when during the film you can see a barcode on her neck and the fact that the main weapon, the portal gun is seen to just appear out of no where. This narrative is effective because it gives the audience a sense of confusion as this twist adds on top of the mystery of that fact why the woman was in the room overall.

This could be because they are imagining certain things and feeeling emotion on the inside.

  City Of God Openening scene analysis Through photography, mise-en-scene, sound, and editing, City Of God conveys the concepts of disorder and anarchy in the favella to the audience. This is demonstrated in the first scene, when the gang is chasing the chicken. The first thing we see in the movie, for example, is a knife being sharpened against a stone. Knives are normally hazardous things, and the fact that it is being sharpened against a stone suggests a barbaric lifestyle: this is foreshadowing Lil Z's brutal lifestyle, which he imposes on his gang through proxy. This quickly builds suspense and makes the spectator question the characters' motives. The editing heightens the suspense by using almost whiplash-inducing, flashing cuts between the knife and the dark screen, reinforcing the sense of urgency. Normally, a barbecue would be a joyful, tranquil, and familiar sight; but, the tight camera angles and fast cuts disrupt this. The sequence cuts back and forth between sever...
