Media Therory. IDEOLOGY & NARRATIVES.

In the past few weeks, in our Media lessons we have studied a variety of media concepts that i will need to include into my trailer. For example, we studied ideology over two or three lessons i found this extremely intresting and helpful, as i never really deconstructed films while i watched them and thought about what it is that makes the film a specific genre.
IDEOLOGY: is an organised system of beliefs and values that inform the basis on which a particular society operates.
Within a society there might be different ideologies at play representing different sets of social interests, for example religious and non-religious people. This can cause problems, but in a away this adds to our culture that has many views on everything.

We also touched on Narritives. The root of the word Narrative comes from latin. Which translates into 'to make known'. Thre plot of a film is the narrative as its read, seen or heard. from the first to the last word or image. Its what the reader percieves.
The story is the narrative in chronological order, the abstract order of events as they follow each other. This is what the reader and the audience concieves or understands.
Science fiction Narratives was an area i found intresting. This is what you would expext to see, in a film of this genre. There are 6 suggested Sci-Fi Narratives. The Monster Scare/The threat by Aliens/ Physical violence/cultural domination...etc. This is how the audience will read the genre and enjoy the film.
