Narrative

telling a story, plot and character, give a brief summary of your film opening.

Theories ----

Levi Strauss - binary opposite

Todorov - equilibrium, disruption = new equilibrium

Propp - typical characters - heros, villian, damsel, sidekick, dispatcher (there are many more)

Barthes - codes - action, symbold/objects, enigma - all have meaning and connotations.

Narrative - Linear or non linear

Venaleus

Goodwin


Apply the concept of Narrative to one peice of work

Intro - State briefly whjat it was and media type, quick summary of the plot (keep the intro brief because there are no marks in it, only to get the examiner to know your peice)

WHAT THEORIES DID YOU USE AND WHY? the marks scheme asks for a variety and use of technical terms (media terminology)

Just interms of disruption and equilibrium in our narrative :::

When we set out to make our film opening we decide to go against todorovs theory of disruption and equilibrium because our genere was a documentary that follows a simple narrative of finding the answer to the questions set out at the beginning but prehaps beyuond the opening 2 minutes disruption may occur in the struggle of finding the answers.
