Narrative representation in 3 slasher opening task

-Considering to what extent or not stereotypes are being used, gender, age and sexuality.

-Archetype is the interpretation before a stereotype. Counter types.

-Always apply semiotics, denotation description of what you can see or hear

-Connotation, why? Why were these signifiers used, why did they choose to do this - Back this up with specific detail from the text .e.g. Red rose connotes romance

-Look at characters, clothing what they say how they speak, age.  e.g. adult figures of authority are useless in many slashers e.g. Eden lake

-Normative - When you constantly see heterosexual couples that is the normative any homosexual couples, will the killer have mixed up sexual urges and kill the homosexual couples.

-Representation always think about the other. Who is defined as not normal in the group?

-Back up choices with reference to existing films
