Section B Essay LR

LR: Add another paragraph dedicated to theory.

The print for Spectre does follow some of the aspects of Propp's theory. In this case the audience could see the hero being seen on the cover of Spectre as well as the image being used in various other outlets such as e-media. James Bond is also seen carrying a small pistol which can convey to the audience what sort of film they should expect to watch as this film would generally be an action film. Also the print may also feature another character type which can be the helper. Léa Seydoux portrays a strong woman which would go against the stereotype of women being seen as the damsels of distress. The print also follows Dyer's lines of appeal. James Bond is featured wearing a white tuxedo which is quite iconic for fans and this would link with the line of appeal of nostalgia. The trailers for the film would always use the disequilibrium of the story to try and entice an audience into getting the film since an audience would like to see a resolution to this narrative and how the hero would go and stop the plans of the Villain in this film which in this case is Christoph Waltz. His character reinforces the stereotype of foreign characters being the antagonist of every action film. This could go along the lines of Medhurst's short hand stereotyping as an audience would tend to associate foreign people as the antagonist. This could be since this is a dominant reading of what nationality the villain would be in a high budget action film. Simillar aspects can be put into place with Ill Manors. In this case the print would also feature the hero who is Riz Ahmed's character. He is seen as a stereotyped young teenager who could possibly be of a lower class. In addition to this teenagers tend to be associated with crime or bad behaviour in the media and the feature of the gun can further support this as this feature of the gun can also signify what the genre of the film would be quite similar to Spectre.
