The Grinch

Todorovs'  Narrative theory

Equilibrium- Everyone is packing  for christmas

Disruption - The grinch goes to everybodys house in whoville to take their presents.

Recognition - Everybody wakes up to no presemts!

Repair - They invite mr grinch for a christmas party and change him

new equilibrium.

Henry Jenkins -genre constantly breaking rules

The Grinch is constantly doing this its like its being lots of genres at once , comedy,family and fantasy.
Mise-en-scene

Costumes-In the Grinch we see all the normal people wearing fancy clothes their shoes are all curly like elf's which relate to
 Christmas.
The Grinch played by Jim Carey is seen as an outsider because his really hairy green body.

Props- The red car to grab attention and talk about what Christmas is all about such as its all about gifts and not family and the burnt down Christmas tree.

Character movement and expression-The Grinch is very fast and jumpyand always does creepy smiles.

Setting-who ville, is very bright and out of this world with crazy people.

Laura Mulvey
the male gaze

In this film this theory is not true , woman are not just their for the men they actually have a purpose.
Cinematography 
As we can see there is a lot of close ups and mid shots. They do this to see his expressions and his movement.
Sound He uses the sound to create a comedic effect like with the big monkey.
