Boogie nights!

How does the narrative engage the audience?

The narrative engages the audience throughout the opening to boogie nights. The use of a continuous scene that the camera follows is very effective as it shows the characters had to be perfect throughout as it is one whole clip. The use of the camera following a in-directional path is very effective as it gives you a much bigger insight into the film and when it was set as we can see so much more. Another way it engages the audience is the originality of using the continuous shot which entices to carry on watching. Also the way we see all of the main characters in the first scene, they do this by focusing the cameras attention on them, and they use the props theory in the opening scene. There is a clear hero, princess and potential villain shown in the first scene and makes us question as too what these characters are going to get up too.

How are women represented in Boogie nights?

Women are represented in boogie nights to be very sexual. We can see this from what they are wearing, such as short shorts, tight tops, which shows that they are conscious as too what men think of them, and that they care about how they look. Also women from this era are outgoing as how the women takes being called " a one sexy bitch" from someone who isn't there husband, this shows that they very outgoing towards men. Also that they are overpowered by men by how they act around men and how the girl kisses the owner of the club, but this is flipped when we see the girl on the roller blades and how the other girl responds to the roller blade girl and talks as she if is her mother.
