Narrative P
Our film is open narrative, Why?
• Our film goes through a story of Laura finding out about the ghosts and the
reasons for why they’re there, however at the end, we have a false ending.
Laura will think she solved the problem and free the sprits, however, they will
live on in the house and the problem will carry on, just not for Laura
• It leaves the audience asking questions at the end
How has it developed since Draft 1?
• Since draft 1, we have had a closed narrative, however, because we have
changed to the thriller genre we want to suit the conventions of how they
generally end their films and they usually have false ending so we have
developed it into a open narrative
10. Kaya
Narrative P
Our film is non-linear narrative, Why?
• Our film is a story that goes from start, middle, to end, however, in order to
show what happened in the house years before we will show cuts from way in
the past to the modern day
START MIDDLE END
How has this developed since draft 1?
• From draft 1 we weren't going to show the past time of what happened
before, however now we are showing important moments from the past in
order for the audience to understand

Film Theory Q
Tzvetan Todorov – Narrative Film Theorist
On the three stages of theme or concept throughout a
film,
How we will be using his theory…
Equilibrium – Laura has just moved in and her life is normal
Disequilibrium – She realises she's being haunted and they disrupt her life
New Equilibrium – She thinks she let the sprits go and moves house and her life is
equal again

Film Theory Q
Vladimir Propp – Film Theorist
on characters contained in a film,
Why we wont be using his theory…
The villain – The two ghost are the villain type as they try to hurt Laura and disturb
her life.
The dispatcher – This doesn't apply to our film at all, there is no hero to send off
The (magical) helper – Laura’s best friend Dawn helps her to take the dolls away
The princess or prize – There is no prize and its based on real life
Her father – She doesn't have a father, it’s a broken family
The donor – The film is based on real life therefore no magical objects
The hero or victim/seeker hero – Laura acts as a hero in helping the sprits pass on
False hero – There is no hero therefore no false hero
13. Kaya
Film Theory Q
Claude Lévi-Strauss - Narrative Film Theorist
On Binary opposition
How we will be using this theory
Normal life : Haunted life Past : Present
Laura moves into We see the past
a house expecting happenings of the
a normal life house
She gets haunted
and disturbed We see the present
until she moves occurrences in that
house
out of the house
