Macro Features for Narrative




Story - the chronological order that events
occur.
Plot – how the audience are shown these
events
Todorovs Narrative Theory


Todorov theory is that all stories follow this order:



Equilibrium




Disequilibrium




This is how the story will begin the place and
characters are in their normal routines.
Something happens to disrupt this order – this could
be any event such as war or a villain. This has to be
resolved by the hero.

New Equilibrium


A new equilibrium is established after the hero
resolved the conflict.
Example


Watch the clip



How is the equilibrium and disequilibrium set
up?



From your knowledge how is equilibrium
restored?
More detailed.


More detail



Between the disequilibrium and the restoration
of equilibrium there can also be:
 Recognition

– aware of what happens and drama

develops.
 Attempts to repair – heroes try and there maybe a
plot twist or climactic point. They are temporary
prevented from restoring the harmony.
Example


Can you apply this theory to Spiderman?



Equilibrium
Disruption – Disequilibrium
Recognition
Attempts to repair
New equilibrium

  • 1. G.C.S.E FILM STUDIES Narrative and Character Theory
  • 2. Starter  You have two minutes  What was the story for the last film you watched?  What happened in that story?  Feedback to the class
  • 3. Lesson Objectives  WALT  What is narrative and the difference between plot and story?  Todorov’s narrative theory.  Propps character theory  WILF  Be able to analyse a scene and identify what is the plot and also what is the story.  Use Todorovs theory to explain a film extract.  Use the character theory on a scene breakdown.
  • 4. Narrative  The forms of narrative narrative – Begins at the start moves to the middle and then to the end.  Non Linear – May begin in any order, middle then beginning and then end, e.g. Pulp Fiction, 500 Days of Summer or Kill Bill  Circular – begins at the end and then tells story in linear fashion returning to the end.  Episodic – story told in chapters the chapters may follow characters and then not be in order.  Linear
  • 5. Task  In groups on your tables try to name films you have seen that use these types of narrative formats.  Linear Non-Linear Circular Episodic   
  • 6. Feedback  What films did you identify use these narrative formats.
  • 7. Screening     There are going to be four examples shown. Identify the narrative formats being used in the clips. You will have five minutes to analyse and identify the format. Justify your answer – give reasons why you think it is that format?
  • 8. Clips  Video 1  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvKzyYy6qvY  Video 2  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMqwSTe5rvo  Video 3  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCUhFZnxoBU &feature=related  Video 4  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vS0E9bBSL0
  • 9. Macro Features for Narrative   Story - the chronological order that events occur. Plot – how the audience are shown these events
  • 10. Todorovs Narrative Theory  Todorov theory is that all stories follow this order:  Equilibrium   Disequilibrium   This is how the story will begin the place and characters are in their normal routines. Something happens to disrupt this order – this could be any event such as war or a villain. This has to be resolved by the hero. New Equilibrium  A new equilibrium is established after the hero resolved the conflict.
  • 11. Example  Watch the clip  How is the equilibrium and disequilibrium set up?  From your knowledge how is equilibrium restored?
  • 12. More detailed.  More detail  Between the disequilibrium and the restoration of equilibrium there can also be:  Recognition – aware of what happens and drama develops.  Attempts to repair – heroes try and there maybe a plot twist or climactic point. They are temporary prevented from restoring the harmony.
  • 13. Example  Can you apply this theory to Spiderman?  Equilibrium Disruption – Disequilibrium Recognition Attempts to repair New equilibrium    
  • 15. Video example  Clip  How does recognition and attempts to repair happen within these scenes?
  • 16. Character Theory  Vladmir Propp analysed over one hundered texts/media and he identified seven broad character types.  He believed that you could adapt these types to fit the characters in all text/media.
