This blog post is to show which media theory my film opening represents. My film opening is represented through the Binary Opposition Theory. As this film is to show a loss in a family, the film is to show the two main characters' lives together before one of them passes. The theory explains the experiences of life through the concepts of opposites, so my film will show this by showing the two main characters experiences with each other and showing how their relationship is built on their interactions.
Movies that have used this theory are Harry Potter and Twilight. In Harry Potter, there is a clear separation between "pure-blood", which are wizards with wizard parents, and ''muggle-born'', which are wizards with normal parents. This dynamic is between characters such as Hermione and Draco, which creates tension between the two. In Twilight, there is a clear dynamic between vampires and werewolves, for the two characters, Edward and Jacob.
