Editor's Notes

  • #2: \n
  • #3: So far we’ve learnt that there are 3 parts to a story\n1. Conflict, 2 Climax and lastly the resolution\nWe talked about Conflict: introducing the central ‘problem of the story’. This is the key problem/issue and creates the tension in the story.\n\nExternal conflict: struggle with an external situation\n- conflict with another character (eg. Quarrels)\n- conflict with society (eg. Law)\n- conflict with nature (eg. Weather)\n- conflict with God. (eg. “why like that?”\nInternal conflict: mental struggle over a certain issue like a personal fear\nObvious external signs of internal conflict: sweaty palms, nervous swinging of legs etc.\n\n
  • #4: Now, conflict is introduced at the beginning of a story and is gradually built up in order to sustain interest... \n
  • #5: Now, conflict is introduced at the beginning of a story and is gradually built up in order to sustain interest... \n

  • #12: When you look at these posters, what are you feeling? What do you expect to happen in these movies?\n
  • #13: When you look at these posters, what are you feeling? What do you expect to happen in these movies?\n
  • #14: \n
  • #15: Why do writers/movie makers employ tension and suspense? How does it make you feel as you watch this trailer?\n- to add excitement to the text\n- to create a sense of anticipation in the reader > keeping him eager to read on.\n
  • #16: Setting: old dilapidated house, bathroom dimly lit, sound effects \nLighting: scenes take place at night\nPerspective: Either Norman or the Lady - eye looking into peephole, sinking car is foreshadowing (Reader’s anticipation of what is going to happen before it actually happens\n), increasing shifts in perspective and suggests something terrible is going to happen\nConflict: External conflict - with the policeman, woman seems to be running away from something but naive and vulnerable, Internal Conflict - Norman Bates’ issue with his mother and in his head about what he wants to do.\n\n
