Levi-Strauss's Opposites Theory
My movie opening doppelganger is a horror action movie and I had the idea for it when I was watching short horror films on youtube. The scariest thing about my movie opening is that I have another me which is a person who is just like me but not me. for me to make my movie opening more interesting I will use Levi Strauss Opposites Theory.
How Opposites Make Horror Better
Levi Strauss idea is that stories are built out of opposites that make tension, in my movie opening doppelganger the biggest opposite is me and my other me, I have a version of myself that is not right and that is what is creepy
Some of the big opposites in my movie opening are
Real vs fake, when I look in the mirror and my reflection does not do the same thing as me it makes people wonder what is real.
Light vs dark, the normal light scenes will be more calm but the scary dark ones will make the environment itself scary.
control vs no control, my character doesnt have the power to stop whatever is going on and that just makes it scarier.
Using Levi Strauss opposites theory my movie opening doppelganger will be more scary and more exciting, the difference between normal and scary scenes will make the move opening more exciting and have the viewers scared.
This is where I was able to get my info about the opposites theory from
