This is my final film that I have up loaded onto YouTube. We decided to call the film Katie based on the main character. We spent a long time deciding on how to edit our film and what characters we should have in the film depending on the audience we are aiming to involve.
Todorov in 1969 produced a theory which he believed to be able to be applied to any film. He believed that all films followed the same narrative pattern. They all went through stages called the equilibrium, disequilibrium, acknowledgement, solving and again equilibrium.
There are five stages the narrative can progress through:
1. A state of equilibrium (All is as it should be.)
2. A disruption of that order by an event.
3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred.
4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption.
5. A return or restoration of a NEW equilibrium
This type of narrative structure is very familiar to us and can be applied to many mainstream film narratives such as 'Die Hard'
