I have chosen the 2003 fairytale film Peter Pan. It has always been one of my favourite movies growing up. (Just watch the first ten minutes of the link.)
Enigma Code:
♛Who is the voiceover?
♛Why has the story been changed?
♛Who is the person spying on them?
♛Who is the older voiceover?
♛What is going to be their adventure?
♛What is the boy doing in her room?
Action Code:
♛Sword is pointed at Wendy so we assume she will fight back
♛Chase scene with the dog
♛Someone is watching Wendy sleep and we expect her to wake up and confront whoever it is
♛When we see the flying boy we assume it is Peter Pan from what we know about the title
♛Wendy will get caught doing her drawing
♛Chase scene after the letter
♛Expect the dad to make a fool out of himself
Semiotic Code:
♛The night scenery of the town
♛Typical child's bedroom
♛A very fancy and rich looking home
♛Snow
♛Cobbled streets
Cultural Code:
♛Typical children behaviour
♛Stereotypical aristrocats
♛Old fashioned home and outfits
♛Background knowledge about the fairytale
Symbolic Code:
♛Society and class
♛The idea of never growing up
♛Behaviour
Excellent work so far, Raagavi. Your analysis is of a very high standard and shows very good understanding of the theory covered in class. In your Barthes HW, a couple of action codes about chases need to have a comment about the signigicance: we expect someone to get caught etc. Well done.
