This document discusses various narrative structures and theories for storytelling in film and television. It describes Aristotle's 5 elements of narrative, Todorov's concept of equilibrium and disruption, Propp's analysis of common plot points in folktales, and Levi-Strauss's idea of binary oppositions representing cultural debates. Additionally, it examines the classical Hollywood narrative model and how it combines these structures with continuity editing, common ideology and representations to appeal to audiences' expectations of genres and a linear, closed narrative with a happy ending.
