Task 3 - to be completed individually
Learning Outcome: To be able to develop responses to media products
You have been commissioned to produce an article for the magazine Screen Critic, applying Narrative Theory to a selection of Fairy Liquid Adverts
- Explain the ideas of Vladimir Propp, Tzvetan Todorov, Levi Strauss, and Roland Barthes
- Analyse a selection of Fairy Liquid advertisements from the 1960s to today, analysing genre characteristics, narrative structures and character representation
Deadline: Noon, Friday 10th Feb 2017 in the Media Technician's Office
So, Today, we will be:
Getting into four groups, each one to research one of the four theorists below. Although you will be doing the task individually, you can research together. Share a computer if you have to, but make sure that you all contribute to the presentation on these guys:
Overview of all four:
Vladimir Propp
Tzvetan Todorov
Levi Strauss
Roland Barthes
Each group will present an explanation of their theorist's ideas, applying it to their own example (don't use the same examples as the slideshows do!).
As each group presents, you must all make bullet point notes on each theorist - you'll need your own notes to complete the task.
After each presentation, the other three groups will feedback whether or not the theory makes sense to them - and if it doesn't, we can discuss what we think the idea is about
