(Research) Assignment 6 - Madness & Paranoia - Individual Research #4 - 'Black Swan'

I watched the trailer/clips for 'Black Swan'.

Analysis:

       

       From the trailer and clips, I learnt that:

• the motive connoted, for the antagonist, is to take over a vulnerable source, such as the woman.
• the protagonist's aim is to find out what she is becoming, who it is that is engulfing her body, why, and who she trusts after the danger comes closer.
• The antagonists mannerism suggests that she's not brave, confident in her profession, easily startled by unfamiliar things or unusual people - portrays her happiness only when she is loving; shows her with an impassive look frequently.
• Impassiveness and fear shows the danger of the manipulation - emphasizes the narrative enigma of what is affecting her.

conveys the danger of which she's facing or becoming - questions the audience as to will she become a threat to her family/friends?

suggests that she's befriended a woman who could become a part of the danger in light of the events and the problem

characters insanity is being conveyed more clearly - audience interested to know more about how she'll overcome the problem. The madness is shown by the drawings on the wall which could emphasize the fearfulness.

portrays the severe consequences of the "source" of danger - narrative enigma builds up as to if she will fix the problems that she's in.
