I have chosen to do the video project for my practical work. The first thing that I needed to do was research into the Genre and Narrative of an opening film. I looked at Dog soldiers and saw that in the opening credits it clearly expressed the feeling of the horror/ werewolf genre with a dark and gloomy forest at night and chase scenes along with the unexplainable killing on a clear moonlit night deep in the Scottish wilderness. The narrative becomes clear soon on as the proppian Hero clearly signalled as the compassionate intelligent soldier who will not shoot the dog when ordered after evading capture for 23 hours on the run. The villain becomes obviously clear as the man who shoots the dog for no reason. The narrative structure is disrupted breaking the equilibrium when the women is taken in the night, but there are strong hints of the coming story, the obviously significant silver dagger coming into the narrative for example, and the hero who has now been established who must put things right by the end of the movie.
