textural analysis
Levi-Strauss and Binary Opposition
Narrative tension is based on opposition or conflict. This can be as simple as two characters fighting, but more often functions at an ideological level.
Props Theory
Same 8 characters over all the texts.
The Villain
The Helper
The Princess or Prize
Her Father
The Donor
The Hero
The False Hero
The Dispatcher
Casino Royale:
Villain-Le Chiffre
The Helper- Vesper
The prize- Vesper
The Hero- Bond
The Dispatcher- M
Todorov Theory
Equilibrium- disruption to the equilibrium- recognition- attempt to repair- (new) equilibrium.
Barthes- Action + Enigma Codes
Little signs that tells audience that something os about to happen, as well as why is something there and what has it got to do with the scene.
Altman-Genre Theory
genre offers audiences a set of pleasures.
Mise-en-scene:
foreground+ background
lighting
key light is the most brightest and influential
backlight helps counteract the effect off the key light or outline a silhouette
fill light helps to soften the harsh shadows that the use of key and back lights create.

Camerawork:
camera movement

framing
editing:
pacing
length of cuts
transitions: straight cut, fade, dissolve, wipe(basic example)
straight cut is most common and 'invisible' form of transition, shot moves instantaneously to the next without attracting the audience's attention.
fades: a gradual darkening or lightening of an image until the screen becomes completely black or white, can show the passing of time.
dissolve: dissolves one shot off the screen while another shot is fading in. audience will be able to see both shots on the screen at the mid-point of the dissolve, used to shown a connection.
wipes: one images is pushed off the screen by another. images can be pushed for any angle/direction, it signals a movement between different locations that are experiencing the same time.
sound:
diegetic refers to the world of the text
non-diegetic refers to everything outside the world of the text
on-screen sound- the audience can see the source of the sound
off-screen sound- the audience can't see the source of the sound
parallel sound matches the action
contrapuntal sound does not match the action
sound bridge helps create a smooth transition between from one scene to another
