Oleander : the writing of the contemporary supernatural dramaVan Poppel, Elisabeth Wilhelmina January 2004 (has links)
Oleander is a screenplay and exegesis that explores how the supernatural drama contributes to a deeper understanding of contemporary feature writing. The central theorists of the feature film, represented here by McKee, Seger, Vogler and Hauge, have created a robust model built around a three act structure, an inciting incident and clear challenge pursued and resolved by a protagonist. The thesis argues that the supernatural drama also calls for the logical treatment of the supernatural element, its managed concealment and its step by step revelation as part of the story development. The thesis tests this idea through the writing of a supernatural feature Oleander, and an analysis of Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Sixth Sense. These latter two films manage suspense in profoundly different ways to produce profoundly different effects.

Returning to Kolchak: Polymediated Narrative, Discourse, and Supernatural DramaHerrmann, Andrew F., Herbig, Art 01 January 2018 (has links)
Scholars are paying a great deal of attention to the complexity of the stories being created for print, film, television, and the Web. In this essay, we expand on the concept of polymediated narrative complexity in contemporary storyworlds to explore how external discourses influence their legacies and interpretations. Our exploration of the relationship between complex narratives and the discourses in which they participate focuses on one television genre and starts with one television program: Kolchak: The Night Stalker. We argue that Kolchak remains an important and ever-evolving discursive fragment within the supernatural drama genre.
