Alex Moonstone, a former Russian student at Harvard, is recruited by the CIA and sent back to Russia to investigate Operation Sostavil. The story follows Todorov's narrative theory, with Moonstone's life in equilibrium until being disturbed by the secret agent. Much action and fighting will occur, building to a climactic firefight. Good and bad characters will be distinguished by nationality in line with Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposition. The film will feature Prop's seven character types and tense scenes to thrill audiences.
2. Brief Disability
• A disability is long-term
• A disability stops someone
from living ‘normally’
• Impedes daily activities
Partial Paralysis
3. Genre: Action Adventure
• Todorov’s Narrative Theory
The story starts with an ‘equilibrium’ since Alex Moonstone has a simple and uneventful life. His visit from a secret
agent disturbs the equilibrium and then the equilibrium is restored once Moonstone returns home.
• Fighting and Guns
Hide and Seek will include many scenes with intense action scenes and the climax of the film will be a firefight in
the penultimate scene.
• Levi Strauss's Theory of Binary Opposition
The ‘good’ and ‘bad’ characters are very easily distinguishable by accent and therefore nationality. Americans are all
soon as good and Russians are all seen as bad.
My film will also feature:
Prop's Seven Character types as I will describe later in the powerpoint.
Tense scenes which will give action-adventure fans the thrill and excitement they crave.
