The Three Theories of narrative

-



Narrative theory: which is basically the story of a film or show 

and the three theory's were created by these 3 important people: Tvzetan Todorov, Vladimir Propp and Claud Levi-strauss.

Todorav: the frictional environment begins with a star of equilibrium e.g everything is as it should be in a state of equal balance between powers of any kind. It then suppers some disruption or disequilibrium Then at the resolution a new equilibrium is produced.



Propp: based on ancient folk tales and has said "that all narratives feature a set of stock characters" which includes heroes, villain,doner, helper,Princesses or prize or goal, Father, dispatcher, Victim and false hero.


Levi-strauss:
Binary oppositions is a constant creation of conflict or opposition that propels a narrative and the narrative could only end on a resolution of the conflict.

for example Visual-Light vs Dark, movement vs stillness, conceptual-love vs hate, control vs panic or can be on a narrative or genre based Good vs Evil, Earth vs A liens, Cops and robbers.

The audience for a film can vary due to many factors such as disposable income, social class or maybe the simple age rating but one of the most persuading features to help the audience choose a film is by the ratings . The audience of a film is suggested by some points such as: age an gender working class education occupation and income  T he ratings they can be changed to make a film look good and most of the reviews usually come from journalists from the worlds major news networks such as the Guardian and the New York times and on many cases the journalists have been bribed or that some movie studios have been smart and cover up part of the star ratings on the promotional art. The audience to a film can also be affected by the viewers disposable income as the higher the working class you are the more disposable income you have and this also relates to the cinema you would visit to see a film and this is decided by the price of the tickets and of course the price of...

This scene is originally from Rouge one a Star Wars story directed by Gareth Edwards he is also known from being the director of the 2014 Godzilla reboot even though he isn't my favourite director I still chose this scene due to its use of music and the different types of shots  and the lighting  used in this ending sequence.   Rouge one  isn't  my  favourite  film my favourite film is  actually  The Hobbit: the battle of the five  army's and that my favourite scene is when  Thorin  and the dwarves charge into battle to defend the dwarven homeland of Erebor and that my favourite director is  actually  Peter Jackson because of his use of location not sound stage   When I chose this  scene  I needed to think how I was  going  to  make  this play  out  the way I wanted  by   analysing  the scene to see what I could do to make this  as close...
