Implementing narrative codes and binary oppositions

For this task, AS students were asked to apply Barthesian narrative codes and Levi-Straussian binary oppositions in a short practical task. The goal was to create an enigmatic narrative in the form of a film poster with very little time to prep and composite (about one hour from shooting to submitting!).

In mock/real exam, you'll be asked to unpick the narrative of the unseen text and explain how it creates enigma, meaning, conflict and so on. So how do the following rough draft posters create a narrative?









If there are any more examples from any group that have not been submitted yet, please email them to Michael!
