Neale - “genre instances is repletion and difference”
In ‘The Killing’ genre is film noir and we see this how there is dark colours and most of the characters are wearing dark clothes - e.g the detective wears all black.
Todorov - ‘Equilibrium - Disruption of the equilibrium - Recognition of the disruption - Fix equilibrium - New equilibrium
In ‘The Killing’ - the equilibrium is when everything is going well and so we are aligned with all the characters, however the disruption is when we hear that Nanaa is reported missing - we then begin to ask questions.
Strauss - ‘Binary opposition drives the narrative forwards’
In The Killing, the binary opposition is the opposites between the detective and the murderer
Knight ‘the thrill comes from the prolonging of the invetiable’
The thrill in 'The Killing' is when the inevitable that Nanaa has been killed, and so us as the audience begin to align ourselves with the detective in hope that Nanaa is found.
