3628The document discusses several narrative theory concepts that can be applied to constructing a narrative for a music video. It outlines Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites, Vladimir Propp's identification of 32 character categories for folk tales, and Tzvetan Todorov's five stages of narrative structure: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium. When making the music video, the document proposes incorporating these concepts through using day/night imagery, defining character roles of victim and superhero, and employing flashbacks to tell a linear story that ends where it began to subvert expectations.

Narrative Theory
Narrative theory describes approaches to understanding narratives or storytelling. The main theorists discussed are Claude Levi-Strauss, Vladimir Propp, and Tzvetan Todorov. Levi-Strauss focused on binary opposites like day/night structuring texts. Propp identified 32 character categories in folk tales, like hero and villain. Todorov proposed 5 stages to writing a narrative: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to repair, and restoration of equilibrium. The document discusses applying these theories to a music video by using opposites, including defined characters, and employing flashbacks with an unconventional ending.
Story and Writing
The document discusses the film Closer and differences between its stage play and film adaptations. It summarizes that Clive Owen originally played a role that Jude Law played in the film. It also mentions the original ending of the stage play was changed for the film. Owen and Natalie Portman won Golden Globes for their roles in the film.

question one
The document describes a student's horror film opening sequence that follows conventions of the genre. Dark lighting, knives and candles were used as props to create fear. The identity of the antagonist is kept hidden by framing shots to only show his body and hands, not face. Titles appear on a black background with transitions between to convey importance. The main title "Red Tears" is bold and red to stand out, with an earthquake effect to add to the horror feel. The soundtrack contains a harsh beat and sinister sounds to match the images and titles.
Mkrtchyan
Mher Mkrtchyan, better known by his stage name Frunzik, was a popular Soviet Armenian actor named a People's Artist of the Soviet Union in 1984. He studied at colleges in Leninakan and Yerevan, and began his career in 1953 performing at the Sundukyan Drama Theatre in Yerevan. He became renowned for his comedic roles but also starred in classics of Armenian cinema. Though known as a comedic actor, Mkrtchyan's personal life was tragic, as his first wife became mentally ill, his son inherited the illness, and his daughter was killed in a car accident.
Intertextuality Powerpoint.
Intertextuality refers to referencing other media texts by subtly or unsubtly including elements from existing texts in new works. This can include scenes, sounds, editing, or plotlines. Intertextuality often occurs within the same genre. Examples provided show how The Simpsons referenced the albums Nevermind and scenes from The Silence of the Lambs. Scary Movie also demonstrated intertextuality by copying scenes from The Ring and using the mask from Scream. Intertextuality provides recognition for audiences by referencing familiar media texts.
Auteur study luke o'donnell
Hiro Murai is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles who was influenced by Japanese yakuza films and David Lynch. Though each of his music videos is unique, they often feature long takes, gritty scenes, and ominous lighting to convey the emotions of the song. Two of his most notable videos are for Childish Gambino's "3005," which depicts Gambino on an endless Ferris wheel ride alongside a deteriorating teddy bear, and Earl Sweatshirt's "Chum," which captures the dark mood through gloomy lighting and isolation as Earl drifts alone.
Independent Textual Analysis
This document provides an analysis of two soap opera trailers. For the first trailer, it notes that there is no dialogue and the characters are shown falling through a dark ocean, representing their feelings. A variety of camera angles are used. For the second trailer, it analyzes the dialogue, costumes, lighting and use of close-ups and jump cuts between characters to generate suspicion about who is a suspect. The analysis concludes that these techniques successfully set the dark, mysterious tones of the respective soap operas.

Media short film idea
This document proposes a short film idea about a woman who experiences two different outcomes of the same day based on whether she is on time or late. In one timeline, she is on time for a job interview but does not meet her future soulmate. In the other, she is late after breaking a glass and meets her soulmate at the train station. Both timelines converge at the end when she meets the man at the same job interview. The film would show parallel timelines through hair, clothing, and music differences and end with the man asking the woman out.
Thriller Script-John
The script describes the opening scenes of a thriller. It follows an unnamed girl with red eyes who is the killer. She watches her victim from outside a school. The victim then walks down the road in an emotionless state while being stalked by the killer. The shots of the victim walking fade between each other to create an unnatural feeling. The victim eventually stops in a field where the killer flashes before them as the whispering soundtrack increases. The screen then cuts to black before cutting back to show the victim dead on the ground with the killer sitting next to the body.
Jushna's Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their audience in their film "Clairvoyant". Specifically, they used an artistic opening title sequence with dramatic music similar to the film "Black Swan". They also used static shots and mystery around the protagonist's character and what she was painting to introduce enigma codes and draw the audience in. Conventions of the thriller genre like mysteries and death were also included. The filmmaker aimed to target an older audience of 18-29 years old with a 15-18 rating and would market and distribute the film appropriately to maximize the target audience.

Task 4 ) german expressionism and the portrayal of heroes in film noir
German expressionism began in Germany in the early 20th century with films like Der student von Prag in 1913 but World War I isolated German filmmakers, allowing the style to develop independently. German expressionism emphasized expression over narrative through techniques like contrasting light and dark and abstract architectural designs. It flourished in the 1920s but declined after the Nazis rose to power, though it influenced later genres, including American film noir. Film noir heroes are typically flawed men with dark pasts who understand the cynical world but are undone by femme fatales they become involved with.
F I L M P I T C H
The document provides details about a psychological horror film project, including:
- The film is about a psychotic artist who murders people to paint them.
- The film is titled "The Canvas" to hint at the artist theme while maintaining suspense.
- The target audience is ages 15-58, mainly appealing to males who prefer violent genres.
- The film will use techniques like close-ups, jump cuts, and sound to create confusion and unease in viewers.
Research genre
This document discusses genre research, specifically focusing on the thriller genre. It defines genres as categories of art or media that share unique elements. The author has chosen to focus on the thriller genre for their title sequence project. Thrillers can use ambiguity and vagueness in their titles to intrigue audiences without revealing the plot. Examples are given of thriller title sequences like Red Lights, Buried, and Sin City that effectively set moods and hint at stories through editing, music, lighting, props, and other techniques without being too explicit. The author reflects on learning how to create an ambiguous yet enticing title sequence for their own thriller project through the use of props, colors, music, and editing styles.
Sample Script - Tara
The script depicts a psychopath stalking and killing a school victim. There are point of view shots from the psychopath outside the school, muttering and laughing as they watch the children. At school, the victim starts to feel ill while chatting with friends. On the walk home, the psychopath's view is shown as they follow the victim. That night, the psychopath watches the sleeping victim through a window. The script ends with newspapers displaying an article about the victim's mysterious death.
The Pitch
The document outlines two potential thriller plot ideas and considerations for developing a trailer for one of the plots. It includes details on possible plot elements and locations, suggested sound effects and cinematography techniques. It also lists skills the author needs to learn to create an effective trailer, such as using video and audio editing software, and determining what makes for a successful thriller trailer.
Jushna Group initial ideas for opening scene & title sequence (3)
The opening scene/title sequence will cross cut between two locations, an art exhibition where the protagonist is viewing and presenting work, and a dark room where the antagonist is developing photographs of his victims. Shots will alternate between the two locations, with titles gradually appearing throughout. The sequence will parallel edit between portraits at the art show and black and white photographs developing in the dark room, building tension through close ups, slow motion, and musical score, until finally revealing matching horrific paintings by the protagonist and photographs by the antagonist.
Question one(reload)
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real horror films. It establishes locations commonly found in horrors, such as abandoned houses and graveyards, by filming scenes in these locations. Costuming conventions like casual teenage clothing are used to portray the characters as teenagers. Dark clothing and lighting is used to set a gothic horror tone. Multiple filming locations and shots like long shots are used to build tension, as seen in other horror films. Dialogue is avoided in favor of music and sound effects to create uncertainty and tension for the audience, as done in the film Saw 4.
Storyboard doc opening
A graffiti tagger wearing layers to cover his face spray paints an alleyway canvas under the cover of darkness. As he finishes, he notices a policeman in the distance and must flee the scene by running away. The camera then zooms in on the spray painted canvas, revealing the title of a documentary about graffiti versus art.
Photography plan
The document outlines photography plans for a magazine cover and double-page spread featuring a female duet. It discusses using concrete steps with one artist higher than the other for the cover shot, and a smashed window for the double-page spread. Other artists will be photographed in abandoned warehouses and destroyed rooms. Guitars, metal pipes, and amps will be used as props. The duet will wear dark colors like black skinny jeans, jumpers, or dresses with ripped tights and boots. Shot types will include wide shots to fit both artists and long shots to show outfits, with low angles used to make the duet look powerful. Compositions are described for the stair and wide shots.
Zombie trailer pitch
The document outlines plans for a zombie film trailer including three filming locations: woods, abandoned railway, and a large park to represent isolation and a post-human world. It will target 15-18 year olds and include some violence and profanity. Four characters are described: the dumb, hero, tough, and smart characters. Casting ideas pair the filmmakers with those roles. The plot involves the filmmakers discovering the living dead in the woods and realizing humanity has fallen as they search for safety in an abandoned school.

Evaluation Question 1d) Narratological analysis of your music video
The document provides a narratological analysis of a music video produced by the author. It begins with an introduction that uses diegetic sound and slowly immerses the audience. It then uses techniques like frequent walking shots to physically move the narrative along and juxtaposing shots of the two main characters to portray a theme of conflict. The narrative follows Tzvetan Todorov's three-act structure with an initial equilibrium disrupted by an event causing imbalance, followed by a struggle to regain balance resolved at the end. Key narrative themes of nostalgia, journeys, and togetherness interweave and climax at different points throughout. The analysis also discusses how techniques like those in Roland Barthes' narrative codes are applied, such
Narrative theory[2]
The document outlines several narrative theories that can be applied to analyze media texts, including film trailers. It discusses Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium, Propp's spheres of action character theory, Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions, and Barthes' enigma code theory. Students are instructed to watch film trailers and analyze how they conform to or play with these narrative frameworks. The goal is for students to gain understanding of how to deconstruct narratives using these theoretical lenses.
Narrative Structures
1) There are different types of narrative structures for music videos including single strand narratives, multi-strand narratives, linear vs non-linear structures, and closed vs open endings.
2) The document analyzes the narrative structures used in the music videos for Clean Bandit's "Symphony" and David Guetta's "Titanium".
3) "Symphony" uses a single strand, realist, linear narrative with a closed ending. "Titanium" uses a single strand narrative with both realist and anti-realist elements, has a non-linear structure, and an open ending.
4) The document discusses how different narrative theories like Todorov, Levi-
Narrative
This document provides an overview of several concepts and theories in narrative theory:
- Narratives involve a sequence of events (plot) presented in a particular way (narrative) to an audience. Analysis focuses on how the story is constructed rather than just the story itself.
- Narratives use various codes - technical, verbal, symbolic - to convey meaning and information to the audience. Tzvetan Todorov's theory examines how narratives progress from an initial equilibrium, through disruption and resolution, to a new equilibrium.
- Roland Barthes explored symbols, indexes, and icons in communication. Signifiers represent concepts (signifieds) in both denotative and connotative ways.

Narrative essay
The student discusses applying the concept of narrative to their music video coursework production. They drew from several theorists including Todorov's theory of narrative chain events which was reflected in the linear storyline of the music. Barthes' enigma code was also used, featuring puzzling visual effects to intrigue viewers. Levi-Strauss' theory of binary opposition structured the video with dominant emotive elements to elicit sympathy. While narrative was challenging for an indie production aiming to subvert expectations, drawing from these theorists helped the student interpret the narrative for the audience.
Narrative essay
Titanium follows a classic narrative structure of equilibrium being disrupted (the protagonist discovers supernatural abilities), rising stakes as he is chased, and acceptance as he learns to control his abilities. Let You Go has a circular narrative that ends where it began with no change. The Music Scene uses abstract visuals and warping of time and space with no clear narrative. All three use different techniques like characters, opposition, time presentation, and unresolved elements to create intrigue without fully conforming to traditional narrative models.
Narrative theories
Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory states that all narratives follow three stages of equilibrium: 1) the initial equilibrium, 2) a disruption of the equilibrium (disequilibrium), and 3) a return to the new equilibrium. Vladimir Propp's character theory suggests there are recognizable character types in narratives, such as heroes, villains, helpers. Claude Levi-Strauss's binary opposition theory says narratives contain opposites like protagonists vs. antagonists that create conflict. Roland Barthes identified five narrative codes that structure how audiences understand stories: action, enigma, semic, symbolic, and cultural.

Narrative theory
This document provides instructions and information for an assignment on narrative theory. It outlines several key narrative theorists that students are expected to understand, including Todorov, Strauss, Barthes, Propp, and Cameron. For the assignment, students must create a PowerPoint explaining these theorists' concepts and providing examples from films. It provides details on the theorists' ideas, such as Todorov's 5 stages of narrative, Strauss' concept of binary oppositions, Barthes' narrative codes, Propp's character spheres and narrative functions, and Cameron's terms like diegesis and narrative range/depth. Students are instructed to analyze films using these concepts and include examples in their PowerPoint.
Different styles of a music video
This document discusses different styles of music videos:
1) Performance style focuses solely on the artist performing without a narrative, using various camera angles. Examples given are Arctic Monkeys and James Bay.
2) Narrative style tells a story through a sequence of events that runs parallel to the song. This engages viewers and defines artists. Examples are Chance the Rapper and Ludacris.
3) Cameo style features famous guest appearances unrelated to the song but promoting it. The Weeknd and Charlie XCX videos cut between narratives and performances.
4) Notion of looking style portrays characters watching others, often women sexually. Examples are Ne-Yo and Trey Songz videos viewing women as objects.

- Levi-Strauss's theory involves binary opposites like good/evil that the audience can identify with. The music video illustrates opposites through outfits changing between warm indoor and cold outdoor.
- Barthes' theory identifies codes like enigma and action that engage the audience. The music video intrigues the audience with the girl singing about her relationship woes.
Applying Narrative Theory to your Work
The document discusses various narrative theories that could potentially be applied to analyzing a music video, including:
- Focusing on the relationship between the lyrics and visuals in the video.
- Examining the overall mood and whether key lyrics are given visual prominence.
- Considering whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship between story elements.
- Analyzing the role of the artist and whether the video serves to promote their persona.
- Determining if the video presents a subjective or objective point of view.
- Assessing whether the theories of Propp, Todorov, or Cameron on narrative structures can provide useful frameworks for understanding the video's narrative elements.

Narrtivepresentation
The document discusses several literary and film theories including binary oppositions, negotiated meaning between institutions and audiences, and Todorov's theory of narrative structures. As examples:
1) Binary oppositions of elements like night/day and good/evil are used to structure many stories and films, exemplified in "The Sixth Sense" with its black and white visuals.
2) Flashbacks and past experiences negotiate meaning between creators and viewers, seen in films like "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" and "Valentine".
3) Todorov's theory of an equilibrium stage followed by disruption can be seen in the opening landscapes and titles of "The Shining", as well as the car crash
Media theories
The document discusses several media theories:
- Structuralism states that culture can be understood through systems of signs and meanings are formulated within a culture.
- Post-structuralism critiques structuralism and argues there is no inherent structure in texts.
- Modernism moves away from structure and embraces discontinuity and disruption of conventions.
- Postmodernism knowingly plays with and subverts conventions through techniques like bricolage.
- Psychoanalytic theories like the male gaze and identifying with the final girl character were applied to horror genres.
Narrative Structures
This document outlines several narrative structure theories: Tzvetan Todorov's theory identifies 5 stages in narrative structure - equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair, new/return equilibrium. Vladimir Propp identified 8 character roles and 31 narrative functions that commonly appear in folktales. Roland Barthes identified 5 narrative codes that readers use to interpret texts - action, enigma, semic, symbolic, cultural. The document applies these theories to films and tasks students with analyzing sample narratives using these conceptual frameworks.
Media theories
The document discusses several media theories:
- Structuralism explores how meaning is formulated within a culture through systems of signs and paradigms.
- Post-structuralism critiques structuralism by arguing there is no inherent structure in texts.
- Modernism moves away from structure and embraces discontinuity and disruption of conventions.
- Postmodernism knowingly plays with and subverts conventions through techniques like bricolage.
- Psychoanalytic theories like the male gaze and identifying with the final girl were applied to horror genres.
Narrative theory
The document summarizes several narrative theories and how they relate to a music video project. It discusses Todorov's five stages of narrative structure, Propp's character archetypes, Levi-Strauss' concept of binary opposites driving conflict, and Barthes' five narrative codes including enigma, action, semantic, symbolic, and referential codes. Examples are given of how elements from the theories can be seen in the music video, such as the disruption/resolution structure, limited character types, and tensions created through racial binary opposites.
Narrative theorists
1) Bordwell & Thompson distinguish between the story (fabula) and the plot (syuzhet) in a narrative. The fabula includes all events seen and inferred, while the syuzhet is the specific order and techniques used to present those events.
2) Tim O'Sullivan argues that media texts tell stories about culture through careful construction. They reflect the values and concerns of the surrounding society at different eras.
3) Todorov created the theory of narrative equilibrium, where a disruption causes disequilibrium, recognition of the disruption, and restoration of a new equilibrium state.
Critical Perspectives Narrative
Vladimir Propp's Morphology theory proposes that narratives follow a pattern of 6 stages: preparation where the scene is set, complication where a problem occurs, transference where the hero receives help to go on a quest, struggle involving a fight, return where the hero succeeds, and recognition where the villain is punished and hero rewarded. Propp applied this theory to analyze the common stages present in many different genres of stories.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Narrative Theory
- 3. How this relates to my Products In my music video, when constructing the narrative I will think carefully about including elements of Levi’s proposal of using binary opposites by having the video take place in different times of the dat perhaps, day/night. This could also be illustrated in the digipak design and magazine cover as I can use different colours to represent opposites (coming together like what my track is about), by using complementary opposite colours of the spectrum on the products to appeal to the audience e.g. black/white There will be definite characters in our music video, and as the lyrics suggest the female artist will be the ‘victim’ ; ‘I can’t live without you’ , while the male featuring artist is the ‘superhero’;‘Let me be your superman’ Finally, while including elements of Todorov equilibrium theory, I will use flashbacks editing in between the performance scenes to linearly tell a simply story of the two characters meeting up with each other, without using match cuts to let this narrative be too straightforward, coming across more like a film. I am also thinking to challenge and distort this theory by ending at the beginning, by using the same shot reversed to show their was no actual development in the relationship or resolution, contradicting the song which is untypical of R&B music videos to end sad.
