theory relation to Looped.
Roland Barthes-
audiences will understand the genre and narrative of Looped due to concepts of the mise-en-scene. costumes and settings will be important to distinguish the genre and therefore what the narrative will be. For example, to ensure that audiences understand the setting/surrounding of where the victim is located, different shots that contain different props will be used to enable audiences to associate these locations with a kidnapping narrative. (opposed to the location being somewhere where someone who is blindfolded would be expected to be eg a gameshow etc.).
Propp-
propps character theory will be incorporated into the narrative due to the victim being a young black vulnerable female and this stereotype will be used to enable the audience to distinguish this character as the victim. The antagonist will be anonymous but will still be dressed in dark clothing and will have a big build to ensure that the audience are aware that this character is the antagonist and is actually in control of the situation. The helper in this narrative is a actor that is given a very normal everyday role where she is walking her dog. This enables audiences to understand that the situation she finds herself in is abnormal and thus a disruption to the storyline.
Todorov-
this theory will be implemented into the audio-visual, especially the first two stages (that are very distinct to a crime drama) the equilibrium and the disruption. The equilibrium is mainly shown at the beginning of the audio-visual with the normal dog walk taking place and then the period of disruption occurs from where the dog walker (helper) finds a clue/piece of evidence to the kidnapping. Up until where the victim is caught after escaping.
