Media Language Theory Pack Five: Postmodernism/Barthes

  Postmodernism - Jean Baudrillard

Scream 6 March 10, 2023

Paragraph detailing the effect of Postmodernism and the supporting aspect 


In this clip from Scream 6, it profited from using the effect of repetition/duplication in this series. The producers have profited from releasing a movie with the same plot, a slasher called Ghostface, who terrorizes teenagers (and sometimes adults) by trying to kill them. They use the "final girl" trope, who outlives Ghostface and lives on to be the protagonist of the next movie (and in this case, the main character is Tara Carpenter). By repeating the same plot, the audience already has a general idea of what will happen in the movie before they even watch it. It uses Inertia as the plot rarely diversifies and stays on the same track of the final girl trope, leaving no diversity in the main characters. The plot has been that way for a long time, in the franchise, so there will most likely be no change, as that is what their audience is used to/comfortable with.
