(Research) Assignment 6 - Madness & Paranoia - Individual Research #5 - '88 Minutes'


I watched the trailer/clips for '88 Minutes'.



                                       



Analysis:
       
       From the trailer and clips, I learnt that:
  • the narrative revolves around the protagonist threatened and then attempting to be tactical, curious and increasingly eager to know who is framing him.
  • the protagonist's character shows he is educated but is seen as uneducated when a more tactical, higher mind than his, is framing him.
  • The antagonist isn't shown but only heard - this raises a high narrative enigma as to who the antagonist is and how they are manipulating his time.
  • Manipulation and the race against time is shown to be an important part of the film and is shown to worry the protagonist as he is the victim of danger but is seen as the cause and madness behind the danger. 


threatened by voice which hides his identity which builds narrative enigma 



conveys the antagonist to be smart and experienced and shows the manipulation of the protagonists time.



teamwork is needed to stand a chance against threat - portrays the antagonist is smart and experienced.



suggestive of the fact that it is a race against time - the antagonist is manipulating the time for him to do things but runs into more danger along the way



friends that could become enemies that could foreshadow that they could be a part of the danger or a threat to him later on.



portrays the increase in danger in which they face as the antagonist gets more tactical - the explosion makes the realism emphasized which makes the audience more worried for the risks he takes.
