The video transcript, it's unreal...
05:18
weird new iteration of shrek arguably
05:21
our franchises own rights all of this
05:23
speaks to the creation of a massive
05:25
shrek paratext an external type of text
05:28
which supports and changes the meaning
05:29
of the original text para texts can be
05:33
difficult to define clearly but an easy
05:35
example is a book in which you have the
05:37
main text let's say Moby d♠️ck and then a
05:40
foreword by someone who tells you about
05:42
its publication history the former is
05:44
the primary text whilst the forward is a
05:47
para text because its existence is
05:50
conditional to the primary text existing
05:52
this doesn't mean however that the
05:54
paratext should be thought of as a
05:56
secondary to the main text as para texts
06:00
are as important in our understanding of
06:02
the main text as the text itself if we
06:05
think of our understanding of what
06:07
something is as a compound containing
06:09
numerous elements then the addition of a
06:11
new substance or text to the compound
06:14
can
06:15
drastically change its properties a new
06:17
piece of information about a film can
06:19
fundamentally change our understanding
06:21
of it just like how it's difficult to
06:23
watch films by certain directors or
06:25
actors when we learn about their
06:26
personal lives in the same way these
