LO2 Task 3

• 00:42:13 - This is the part in the film, the enigma, this denotes the protagonist escaping the sinking ship, this scene connotes action and fast pace, which would appeal to the target audience being teenagers and young teenagers especially the main gender being male. This narrative stage connoting the disequilibrium/enigma, proposed by Todorov (1997) this also links to the men being dominant amongst the chaos and the females are not present in the chaos. This also links to John Berger's theory; "Men act, women appear" in this scene the male protagonist is acting amongst the chaos while women just appear in the scene.

• 00:55:00 - This is the part in the film that denotes the tiger for the first time, this would appeal to the target audience because it connotes that the tiger is viscous and dangerous, appealing to the thrill seeking aspect of the audience. Also essentially a new important character has been introduced adding to the story to grasp a better understanding. This would appeal to the male audience. This introduces a binary opposition, proposed by Claude Levis Strauss (1958) in this specific case the opposition is human and animals, this denotes the tiger obviously holding more power in this circumstances and presents an imminent threat also linking to Todorov Narrative structures, this being the equilibrium.

• 01:32:46 - This denotes the first time in the film when the protagonist really connects with the tiger, this heart throbbing scene would appeal the younger audience, male and female audience being roughly half and half, so it would appeal to the female side of the audience spectrum. This links to Todorov's theory of narrative structures, this scene being the disequilibrium is balanced and the enigma has been solved, it connotes the threat and danger that the tiger imposed onto the protagonist has been withheld.

• 00:01:34 - At the very start of the film, it denotes a variety of animals in a zoo, ranging from zebras to tigers, this would appeal to all audiences but specifically the younger audience who react to bright colours and animals. This would appeal to both the male and female audience. This links to Todorov's theory; narrative structures, connoting the scene being the equilibrium, an enigma hasn't been imposed yet.

• 00:08:29 - This scene denotes a class room scene full of young children which would instantly appeal to the younger audience, specifically boys because the children are all boys, also there was an embarrassing event where the protagonist is shown up, this is something that we can all relate to and would appeal to. This could connote Carl Rodgers theory. "Ideal Self" since the protagonist is so relatable, this could connote that audience sees him as an idol and wants to be him.
