TRANSCRIPT

Martin ScorseseComparing three of Martins

films

Wolf of Wall Street Wolf of wall street starts off with the main protagonist with

an insight of the second important character. A narrative is shown through the shot types and the dialogue. The music and sound also adds to the narrative as it shows structure.

The actor which is presented has a link to Martins other films such as Aviator and Gangs of New York, which is very effective to the audience that fond wit Leonardo DiCaprio. We know that Leonardo DiCaprio is the protagonist through character exposition. We tend to see him in the middle as the head man in Martin Scorsese films., just like in Gangs of New York.

The Aviator In the Aviator we too see the protagonist character in the

beginning of the trailer. Here the protagonist is also the actor Leonardo DiCaprio which links back to two of the other Martin Scorsese films Wolf of Wall Street and Gangs of New York.

There is a very clear link that Martin likes to use character exposition very carefully where we can tell who the protagonist is and why he is the protagonist. When the audience identify why he is the protagonist, it also outline the narrative of the film as a whole as we know that whatever may happen, it shall be based on the protagonist. Here too we see the specific type of exposition Martin tends to use.

Gangs of New York Gangs of New York starts with the protagonist characters

with a voice over of Leonardo DiCaprio which is the little boy. This shows a link to Martin Scorsese films as he tends to show the protagonist character in the beginning and in this case it happens to be the same actor. This is very appealing to the audience as if they’ve seen Wolf of Wall Street or Aviator and they are fond of Leonardo DiCaprio, it will then capture the audiences attention to want to watch Aviator.

We see a narrative constructed through the shot types that are shows such as when the protagonist character is holding onto his father which displays that that is the cause of the action that will then take place.
