Todorov's 5 stages of narrative structure are summarized as: 1) Equilibrium, 2) Disequilibrium, 3) Recognition of disequilibrium, 4) Attempt to repair damage, and 5) New equilibrium. Levi-Strauss believed that narratives describe the world through binary opposites such as hero/villain and good/evil. Propp identified 7 character types that commonly appear in stories, including the hero, villain, dispatcher, and donor. Various narrative theories analyze codes, structures, and techniques used in storytelling.
This document discusses various narrative theories including:
1. Todorov's theory of 5 stages of narrative: equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, attempt to repair, new equilibrium. This is applied to the film Kick-Ass.
2. Levi-Strauss' theory that the world is described through binary opposites like good/bad.
3. Barthes' theory of codes including enigma, action, semantic, symbolic, and cultural codes which provide clues and encourage audience anticipation. Various film examples are discussed.
4. Propp's theory of 7 character types in folktales and legends.
5. Other terms discussed include diegesis, narrative range (restricted
This document discusses various narrative theories and concepts:
1. It outlines Todorov's 5 stages of narrative - equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, attempt to repair, new equilibrium.
2. It applies Todorov's theory to the plot of the film "Kick-Ass".
3. It discusses Levi-Strauss' theory of binaries, and Barthes' codes - enigma, action, semantic, symbolic, and cultural.
4. It provides examples of applying semantic and cultural codes to "Pirates of the Caribbean".
5. It outlines Propp's 7 character types - hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, helper, false hero, heroine
The document discusses several literary theories and codes for analyzing narratives:
1) Todorov's theory of equilibrium and disequilibrium describes a typical narrative structure that involves an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption of that equilibrium, an attempt to repair the problem, and a return to a new state of equilibrium.
2) Propp's character theory identifies common character types that appear in narratives, such as the hero, villain, donor, and princess.
3) Barthes identified several codes woven into narratives, including the hermeneutic code involving mysteries, the proairetic code involving tension-building actions, and semantic, symbolic, and cultural codes relating to meaning.
4) Sy
The document discusses several common characteristics and themes seen in horror film killers. It notes that many killers are disfigured or wear masks to look different from normal humans. Their appearance isolates them and makes them appear more scary. Most killers also have a backstory that explains their troubled history and what caused them to become killers. Many films use everyday objects as weapons to increase tension by showing the danger of normal items. Resurrection is another common theme, as killers often survive apparent death. Understanding these conventions can help when creating a new killer character for a horror film.
This document provides 9 frames from the 1991 film "Cape Fear" directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lange. The frames summarize key scenes from the film's opening and introduce the main antagonist, Max Cady, played by Robert De Niro, as he is released from prison and begins terrorizing the family of Sam Bowden, played by Nick Nolte. The frames analyze visual elements and symbolism to depict the ominous, foreboding atmosphere and build tension as Cady's threat to the family intensifies.
The document provides an analysis of the 1984 film The Karate Kid. It discusses how the main character Daniel LaRusso, through struggles against bullies and the assistance of his mentor Mr. Miyagi, achieves heroic individualism and overcomes cultural hegemony. Key elements examined include Daniel as an underdog archetype, Mr. Miyagi as a mythical figure, the concept of a collective unconscious influencing the heroic quest, and how Daniel's lower social class and sense of not belonging contribute to challenges with hegemony. The paper argues Daniel serves as a representation of how average individuals can overcome oppression through determination and guidance.

3. THINK OF DIFFERENT DISRUPTIONS/CONFLICTS AND
RESOLUTION FOR DIFFERENT GENRES:
4. IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN TODOROV’S THEORY IN
RELATION TO A FILM
The film that I will chose is called mean girls.
Trevor suggested there are 5 stages of narrative :
Equilibrium (or normality)
Disequilibrium (conflict / disruption of equilibrium by action or event)
Recognition of disequilibrium (disruption / conflict)
Attempt to repair disequilibrium
New equilibrium (new normality)
5. EQUILIBRIUM
Everything was normal
before ‘Cady’ came to the
new school
Everyone was in their social
groups
Regina was the most popular
one out of Karen and
Gretchen
6. DISEQUILIBRIUM
Everything started to
change when Cady joined
the group
And starts to destroy Regina
by giving her chocolate bars
(Cady told Regina they were
to make her turn skinnier
but that was a lie)
Also giving her the wrong
cream to use on her face
7. RECOGNITION OF DISEQUILIBRIUM
Regina found out she
was gaining weight from
the chocolate bars.
She photocopied the
burn book and put them
around the school
blaming Cady
The whole school was
fighting as they found out
what people have been
calling them
Regina was hit by the
bus and Cady was
blamed.
8. ATTEMPT TO REPAIR DISEQUILIBRIUM
After the fight with the
school each person would
have to confess what they
did wrong and also
apologize
They would have to fall into
a group of crowd to gain
their trust, that they would
catch each other
9. NEW EQUILIBRIUM
Cady starts all over again,
goes to maths competition
and won
All 4 girls, Regina, Karen ,
Gretchen and Cady didn’t
care about popularity and 3
new girls became popular
Also Cady confessed about
everything and she didn’t
care about popularity, nor
clothes just education
10.
11. LEVI STRAUSS
He believed that our world is described in opposites. This would mean that, when
the audience would look at a theme within a story and real life we would notice
that they would have differences within them for example;
Night / day
Good / bad
Dark / light
Male / female
12. THINK OF OPPOSITES IN A VARIETY OF GENRES
AND GIVE EXAMPLES FROM FILMS
ACTION ….
Film Hero Villain Explanation
Spider man Spider man saving MJ Destroys the City spider man saves
innocent people that
have been the victim
and the green goblin
would destroy the city
13. THINK OF OPPOSITES IN A VARIETY OF GENRES
AND GIVE EXAMPLES FROM FILMS
SI-FI ….
Film innocence Violation Explanation
Hunger games The people in the district He was the one that made People have been
mainly Katniss and Peeta it up and sacrificing forced to go try and
peoples lives
stay the first one
surviving, and the
violation comes from
the person who made
this up
14. THINK OF OPPOSITES IN A VARIETY OF GENRES
AND GIVE EXAMPLES FROM FILMS
Thriller ….
Film human supernatural Explanation
Paranormal Katie and Micah are The demon is There were normal
normal human beings supernatural his shadow people and
activity on the door you cannot
supernatural, where
see him
Micah and Katie are
humans and the
supernatural is the
demon
15.
16. BARTHES
His theory is similar to Todorov’s however Barthes theory talks about how the
audience should experience anticipation and expectation of the conflict that has
been happening in the film, and how the audience should seek answers and
clues
We would identify them by ‘codes’
Enigma code
Action code
Semantic code
Symbolic code
Cultural code
17. ENIGMA CODE
At the beginning of 4321. it starts of with one of the girls wanting to jump of a
bridge.
This then creates a mystery and raises questions to the audience to why this girl
wants to commit suicide.
18. ACTION CODE
In spider man, he would save MJ a lot
These Behaviour and actions would then lead the audience to expect certain
consequences.
19. SEMANTIC CODE
Connotative meanings of characters, objects etc.. however I'm choosing colour
and different colours would mean/represent different things. It would depend on
the situation/location etc.
The colour black would have different meanings such as:
Evilness Death Thrill
20. SYMBOLIC CODE
When a man gives a girl a rose. That rose would symbolise love.
This would show symbolic features would often signify oppositions and
antitheses, and the purpose of that object/item.
Valentines day movie
21. CULTURAL CODE
Romeo and Juliet was written years ago, therefore they wouldn’t have the same
adaption as they did to modern adaptions
When created as a film they have changed the story to adapt it to modern time
rather than leaving it from years ago
For example in the book they haven't mentioned the swimming pool, but when
adapted to modern they have as now our days people would have swimming
pools in their house if they could.
Made years Made in our
ago, as they days, more
would meet modern as
up at the they are in the
balcony swimming pool
22.
23. PROPP
Studies folklore, fairy tales and legends in many countries and noticed many
similarities In them, for example they would have the same problems etc.
One of his theory’s is about the 7 distinctive character which is called – ‘Spheres
of action’
Hero
Villain
Dispatcher
Donor
Helper
Heroine
False hero
24. HERO
The hero would restore the disequilibrium this would be done by defeating the
villain.
For example in spider man, spider man would defeat the green goblin and save
people
25. DISPATCHER
This would encourage the hero to start his way and to show people who he really
is.
In spider man, Peter’s uncle ben inspired him.
26. VILLAIN
The villain would cause disruption, he would try and kill the hero because
normally the hero would ruin the villains plans of doing something.
For example in spider man the green goblin would be the villain as he would try
and destroy the city.
27. DONOR
Helps the hero, this might be by giving them advice or train them etc.
For example in hunger game Haymitch would help Katniss win the game by
surviving.
28. HELPER
The helper would assist the hero, the helper would help the hero save and defeat
the evil.
For example in hunger games rue would help katniss by telling her about the bee
hive. And helped her when she was stung.
29. FALSE HERO
a false hero would start as being a hero then changed his/her mind.
They can pretend that there a hero trying to get closer to a person to get what
they wanted and when they did they would then turn their backs on them.
For example Madagascar, when the lions uncle tricks him on picking the
strongest lion to defeat him so he can be the ruler.
30. HEROIN
A heroine would be known to be a princess , the princess would normally be
threatened by the villain and needs to be rescued. And can only be rescued by
the hero. That would be the only way where the villain can defeat the hero by
using the heroin.
For example in spider man the green goblin would take MJ so he can defeat
Spiderman.
31.
32. DIEGESIS
The world that the characters would live in. the story that the characters
themselves experience and encounter.
Where they would interact with the camera because that when they would break
it as now they would have a relationship with the audience.
For example Disney films such as Cinderella, and how they would live in the world
of that film.
33. NARRATIVE RANGE
Unrestricted narration:
That’s when the film would give all the information that would be represented,
where they would give as much information as possible
Where they wouldn’t be hiding any pieces of information
For example in the film hunger games, they would show us what he sponsors
would say on the paper so they wouldn’t be hiding anything from the audience
This would mean that the audience would know what they wee given.
34. NARRATIVE RANGE
Restricted narration:
Only would offer a little of information, they wouldn’t give all the information
This would then create tension and questions to the audience wanting to know
that piece of information that isn't given to the audience
37. FORKING PATH
Forking path is when having two scenes it one
It’s the story which can show the possible outcomes that might result from small
changes in a single event.
This would introduce a number of plotlines that usually contradict from another
For example the film called ‘the sliding doors’
This film would have the story of having two possible outcomes of a woman
happening to her life when she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her and
what would happen to her if she didn’t find out.
38. EPISODIC
Abstract
This is a formal system which appears to dictate the organization of narrative
elements. (e.g. numbers)
Anthology
Different short series that are unrelated but share a random similarity (e.g. all
weddings having a gypsy wedding dress)
39. ANACHRONIC
This would have flashbacks or flash-forwards
This would have no clear dominance between any of the narrative threads
This also means when a story shows different scenes happening on the same day
and on the same hour and what has happened to each of the characters between
those timings and at the end they would join together
For example 4321, this is because they would show different story’s that has
happened to the characters on the same time of the day and meet up at the end.
40. SPLIT SCREEN
This is when the screen would be split into two showing two different scenes or
two different characters doing something at the same time of the day.
The screen can be split into two or more frames showing all of those frames on
the screen
For example the film mean girls it would split the screen to 4 frames showing all
the 4 girls having a conversation this would be done to show their facial
expression or what doing when having a conversation.
