Intertextuality - Fight Club
Fight Club
There is also a very significant intertextual reference to be made to fight Club. Throughout the course of the film, the unnamed protagonist's anarchist activist alter-ego of Tyler Durden is shown to be flashing in and out of the shots, as if he himself has been edited into the film, as he himself is shown to have been doing within the film itself. We have somewhat mirrored this in our own video, with the very rapid punching montage interspersed with shots of other shots of the interior, and shots of the secondary non-existent character.
The use of this montage formation is important, because it gives the audience some idea of what the protagonist is looking for, and what his end-goal is (with shots of both the secondary character, and shots of the doorway). These shots are pinned together in such a way as to make the audience understand the anguished feelings of the protagonist, and so form an empathetic connection with him.

To strengthen read reviews of the film. For example The Guardian review you may wish to quote from the review and argue with it.
ReplyDeleteNarrative structure in Fight Club is linear thus making a complex story more accessible to audiences, give a brief example.
The narrative structure of our music video is open to interpretation; a linear narrative of a young man in some kind of prison with flashbacks of a girl, or the narrative is linear with indications that the blindfolded man is losing his grip on reality and that the images of the girl are illusions.
in fact his blind folded state could be a metaphor for somebody locked in some kind of depression.
You need to develop your ideas - be more confident Barney.
