Bite Me: Narrative Structures and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is a 2003 Australian academic publication relating to the fictional Buffyverse established by TV series, Buffy and Angel. The book is designed for Year 12 teachers/students teaching/studying Media Unit 3 (in the Australian education system).
Book description
The book concentrates on the narrative of the television series. Organized into two sections:
- set of definitions of narrative in film, in television series in general and in BtVS in particular
- geared towards classroom practice and gives information and strategies for teachers as well as suggestions for student activities and templates for worksheets: all very useful.
This book addresses, in an easily understood and user-friendly way, questions of narrative structure across long-running TV series.
Whilst concentrating on narrative, the book also deals with relating narrative structures with: audience pleasure, mise en scène, and the use of symbolism and metaphor.
