 Evaluation

 Overall I think I did well in keeping a consistent look over the three products, especially with keeping the font the same the whole way through. I also believe another strong point was the layout of the products I made, it is neat and organised. I also almost fit the conventions of the three products. To improve next time, I think I should add more design based stuff like shapes and drawings that fit the genre. I should also edit the background photos a bit more so they are more appealing and not so basic.

    A great start Eli, a very consistent package and great use of genre codes.

    WWW - you have a clear brand style which is continued throughout the three products in terms of colour palette, font style and imagery.

    TARGETS - Challenge yourself to be more creative with the design. It feels very safe. I'd like to see you use more considered photography and deign features.

Todorov's Narrative Theory

Wednesday 8th October   Todorov's Narrative Theory Introduction: Todorov's theory is that there is a specific structure which most films, books and mostly anything with a storyline will use, especially in TV Dramas. The five aspects of Todorov's theory are the equilibrium where everything is in order, a disruption where someone or something causes order to be lost, recognition of disruption where the protagonist is affected by or realises the disruption, attempt to fix disruption by the protagonist and then new equilibrium where order is restored in a different way.  His theory goes especially well with TV Dramas, as the include multiple uses of disruptions (a stage in Todorov's theory). This theory is very useful, however it has it's restrictions in TV Drama as they usually want the audience to be lead on and thinking about multiple disruptions. How this applies to Homelands: Equilibrium - CIA agent Carrie Mathison is doing her job in Baghdad Disrupt...
