Todorov: Equilibrium
The 3 part structure to the
trailer of my chosen film is: Christoph Waltz saves Jamie Fox from a slave
owner and kills them, Christoph Waltz and Jamie Fox hunt for Jamie Fox's wife
by searching every cotton plantation. They find his wife but, in an unfortunate
turn of events, Christoph Waltz ends up getting shot dead, restoring the
balance to the equilibrium.
The character types shown in
the trailer are: main protagonist (Jamie Fox) who theatres Django, the person who rescues Django and helps him rescue his wife from the mentor/Helper/donor
(Christoph Waltz), Villain/Antagonist (Leonardo
DiCaprio) and a heroine (Jamie
Fox's "wife")
Barthes: Enigma code
The enigmas that could be
thought of are: Does Django get his wife back? Does he or Christoph Waltz die?
These questions could intrigue the audience and make them want to watch this
film.
Action codes in this trailer
are: when blood splatters all over the cotton, the audience could be thinking
who dies, and did he make the shot. Another action code is when the pair are
riding to get to a plantation. The audience may be thinking where are they
going, do they make it there.
