Find out the context of the film before class. 

How do we connect the textual evidence to the message?

Is there anything from this culture/context that we can see in the events in the film?/metaphors eluding to these real life events

Pan's Labyrinth; fantasy events, metaphorical; propp fairytales (damsel, hero, villian, helper)
La Haine is based around realism : documentary
Which is more powerful?

Types of narrative:

• Classic Hollywood Narratives: beginning (equilibrium), middle (disruphey) and the end (resolution) Does global cinema incorporate CHN, is this really foreign cinema 
• Characters drive the narrative; the characters must have a psychological motivation to reach the climax of the narrative. A stock characteris a stereotypical 'off the shelf' character
