les revenants et genre

Les Revenants is a French unconventional horror shown through lack of conventional jump scares.

Pleonastic sound - where one instrument surpasses the others in a soundtrack in terms of loudness.

This show is an example of genre hybridity.

The Returned (French: Les Revenants) is a French supernatural drama television series created by Fabrice Gobert, based on the 2004 French film They Came Back (Les Revenants), directed by Robin Campillo. The series debuted on 26 November 2012 on Canal+ and completed its first season, consisting of eight episodes, on 17 December. In 2013, the first season won an International Emmy for Best Drama Series.

Canal+ funded part of I Daniel Blake.

Broadcast in the UK on Channel 4 but not developed by them.

Internationally distributed by Universal.

Experimental (Avant-garde) slow paced drama-zombie show.

It is a soap-opera. (family scandal, characters of different ages).

It is a cult tv show - A cult following is a group of fans who are highly dedicated to a work of culture, often referred to as a cult classic. A film, book, musical artist, television series or video game, among other things, is said to have a cult following when it has a small but very passionate fanbase.

Camille comes back to life/knocking on door of house. Shot/countershot of surprised mother.

Mise-en-scene of Camille's clothing is a typical of the zombie genre due to the lack of torn clothing.

Adele's reaction to Simon was sad because she is scared.

Attitude Online - Wednesday 13th March

Attitude online's primary purpose is to promote the magazine. It has a dedicated readership which may be influenced by the online version of the magazine. Camp - A deliberately tongue in cheek attitude to the world which reinforces a lot of gay stereotypes. Drag shows are very camp to appeal to a gay audience Diva is a gay magazine that is also aimed at women but it is less popular than Attitude. Attitude online is a hyper-sexualised representation of men - most images of these men are topless and often in provocative poses which is surprising in accordance to societal hegemonic norms. An article is critical of lack of representation of different body types which isn't reinforced very well by the singular muscular representation of men which suggests that these images are only being used to make money as they know it plays on the potential desires of homosexual men. Articles are generally focused on grooming, fashion, celebrities and their appearance which suggest...
