In my film opening called Nostalgia, which I made for my AS Practical Production, I feel that many of Claude Levi-Strauss' binary oppositions have been set up. For example:
Life VS Death
In Nostalgia, as there is a character who is dying, she is battling through her illness to live, which connoted to the binary opposition to Life VS Death because she is dying at such a young age, and this makes others want to watch the rest of the film to understand how and why.
Love VS Work
When Harry walks off the stage to visit Melodie, it shows that he cares more about her than his own work which shows the amount of love he has for her, as he did risk that he may be fired yet he chose love over work.
Action VS Inaction
Melodie is inaction as she is resting in her hospital bed and is not able to go out where as on the other hand, her boyfriend, Harry is active as he goes out on tour and travelling, also working.
