Genre - Narrative Structure


Stereotypically in horror films there is a male protagonist who will save the damsel in distress. Usually the narrative goes:



1. Protagonist ‘hero’ male and femalego out somewhere e.g. camping trip


 2.
Antagonistic murderer usuallywearing a mask or something to cover their face (also usually male)captures/ tries to kill/trapsprotagonist characters

 3.
Protagonists escape or die.




















Stereotypically in zombie films the narrative usually goes:



1.
Out break on the news – people panic 

2.
Introduced to characters
(stereotypically male protagonist)


3.
Kill some zombies and travel 

4.
Either die or survive and left inconclusive







Although, these stereotypes can be broken:

Zombieland: 
































My narrative structure:My narrative structure will not follow the conventional narrative of structures, mine will be shown in reverse slow motion in which it will follow te conventions of a zombie film but in reverse in which it will make my media product unconventional but conventional at the same time. I think this will make my product unique.
