Today's Blog Is on the Media Theory Structuralism/Levi-Strauss:
-Sorry, for not writing of the how and the definition. But I am on a time crunch this week, next will be better and write them. My occupation took too much time.
What is Structuralism?
- Opposing ideas like light and dark, nature and technology, etc. Just watch Star Wars it has a lot of good examples.
Attempting at identifying Structuralism:
-
Into the Spiderverse (2016)
The excerpt uses and shows the binary, character opposite. The Binary opposite used is the concept of experience and the lack of it. In the clip Miles Moralis who is new to being spider man is being mentored by Peter B. Parker. In the second half Miles refuses to use to use the web shooters when running for his life. With experience comes comfort in what you do, and Peter has that in spades compared to Miles. To add on to this it was life and death they where they are running for their life. Then after getting caught by Doc Ock Spider-Gwen beats up Doc and reveals her age. This can also be used to show that you do not have to be over experienced to do well. Which can show hope to Miles to do well.

Shaolin Soccer (2001)
The excerpt uses and shows character opposite. This is derived from the characters appearance, with the Shalin monks who wear only color yellow robes which is not traditional soccer wear, compared this to the normal team who is wearing white with red stripes. This show of non-tradition wear and attitude of the monks make you think they are going to be toast. However, this shallow depiction is ironic since the monks in chaotic montage show the pros getting smoked. The traditional style vs. professional style and order vs chaos as show in the set up and execution.
