Establishing Narrative in the opening of a film

Establishing Narrative in the opening of a film



Binary opposites

Binary opposites in this clip could include:

Eastern vs Western culture
Poor vs wealthy
War vs peace
Upper class vs lower class
Dictatorship vs democracy
Crime vs not breaking the rules

Propp Narrative picture

Villain
Rioters 
Dispatcher
The rest of the C.I.A agents and leaders
Hero
Tony Mendez-the C.I.A agent who thought of the escape plan
False hero
none
Donor
Alan Arkin playing Lester Siegel,a director who agreed to help create the fake film for the escape 
Princess or prize and her father
The safeness of the 6 escapees and he received the intelligence star which was awarded to him by president Carter
The helper
John Goodman playing John Chambers who was a makeup artist who set up the fake production company and film for the escape.

Enigma code

The proairetic code
The riots in this clip could suggest something will happen  to the people in the riots and at the end of the clip the man jumps over the gate then the clip stops,this builds tension and makes us wonder what will happen to the man now he has crossed onto the other side of the gate. 
The semantic code
The main issue in this media text is rich vs poor but it may represent other issues such as a loss of lives as shown by the wall of pictures so a want for revenge and they might not also want to have democracy in their country
