Video essay notes

A video essay needs to have major clips relating to the point 

Narrative > CHN
> characters > 
> post modern narrative

Key points (as titles)
V & CoM
1. CHN - narrative plot outline/cause/effect/heroes journey
2. CHN - clear resolution/ending has a sense of closure. 
3. CHN - characters, psychological profile
4. Opposites - problems & challenges - good v. bad } stock characters
5. Stock characters - off the rack

Title - to what extent does children of men and v for vendetta conform to CHN

CoM is more about putting the message out there. 

Total Recall is more similar to Children of Men because he doesn't know what is real or not on TR, in the same way that the dude in CoM doesn't know what he's really fighting. 
Terminator Salvation is more like V because he is fighting for a cause in a war.
