NARRATIVE Key Terms ·narrative structure - how the story is told; the way it is constructed, put together, built up - in other words: the plot ·narrative codes - Barthes's codes including enigmatic, action, semic/symbolic, cultural codes - codes that indicate particular meanings about the text ·narrative conventions - codes used to indicate a particular genre or role e. g. action hero When you study a media text, you learn that its narrative has been very carefully constructed. Explain how the narrative structure and/or narrative codes in a media text you have studied have been shaped to engage audiences, or develop representations or meet institutional demands. ·gong symbolises the start - setting the scene (music and establishing shot) ·Classic Hollywood Narrative - normality Kung Fu experts skilled moves voiceover drums and music slow motion names on intertitle/caption cards ·builds up to an expected climax (Audience) ·instead, they get an anti-climax - creating humorous tone (Audience) ·Classic Hollywood Narrative - disruption in the form of a problem Panda no good at Kung Fu eating cookies - hungry nervous - 'Don't tell. . .

They each need to cover two text-based KA and one context-based KA. Across, the two NABs you need to cover all the KA.
