Media Awards (Analysis)


Night of a thousand lies

I’m going to focus on the main action code in this trailer which was when the villain according to Propp’s terminology, ‘Lexi’ privately approached the hero and forced him into intercourse, the act of dropping the ring signified betrayal because a marriage ring signifies togetherness and love and trust, and he broke that trust when the ring silently hit the ground to possibly indicate the affair had no effect on his heart. That was the one thing, which stood out to me from a Night of a thousand lies considering that was one of the ‘lies’ from the trailer.

Screwed

The disequilibrium in Screwed was very funny because there was no actually villain; there were just a lot of unfortunate things happen to the main character to disturb her natural equilibrium. For instance at the beginning of the trailer where the protagonist left her tampons at home, this is unfortunate, no one did this to the character, she did it to herself in addition when she was having her interview for the job she applied for and she went blank, no one did this to her it was just an unfortunate collapse of thought at time. This was something I decided to focus analyzing after I watched the trailer.
