Narrative theory
This document provides an overview of several narrative theories used in media studies, including Todorov's theory of equilibrium, Propp's character types, Barthes' enigma code, and Levi-Strauss' binary opposition theory. Todorov's theory suggests that most stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, resolution, repairing damage, and returning to equilibrium. Propp identified 7 character types that commonly appear in narratives. Barthes' enigma code proposes that narratives create and resolve questions to engage audiences. Levi-Strauss analyzed narrative structures in terms of sets of binary oppositions such as good vs evil.

Narrative theory
Narrative theory proposes that narratives are organized sequences of causally related events that unfold over time, from a beginning to a middle to an end, embodying a judgment about the nature of those events. Key theorists identified common character types in narratives, structural elements like codes that readers use to make sense of a story, and underlying symbolic oppositions. More recently, narratives have become more complex, incorporating modified chronologies, alternative versions, loose collections of stories, and other nonlinear techniques.
Narrative Theory in Brief
Tzvetan Todorov proposed that narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and a return to a new equilibrium. He later refined this into five stages: initial equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to reinstate equilibrium, and return to a new equilibrium. Claude Levi-Strauss argued that narratives are structured around conflicts between binary opposites. Roland Barthes identified five narrative codes that unlock meaning in texts: the enigma code, action code, semantic code, symbolic code, and referential code. Vladimir Propp isolated seven character types and numerous narrative functions that are often present in fairy tales, such as preparation, complication, transference, struggle, return, and recognition.
Narrative presentation
This document discusses several narrative theories and how they can be applied to film analysis. It explains Tzvaten Todorov's theory of equilibrium being disrupted and later resolved. Vladimir Propp is discussed for identifying character roles and narrative functions that are often present. Claude Levi-Strauss looked at binary oppositions that reveal narrative structure. Finally, Roland Barthes' semiotic theory of signs, signifiers and signifieds is examined, specifically how words can have deeper connotative meanings. An example is provided of how these theories were incorporated into analyzing a student film about an undercover police officer catching a suspected pedophile.
Media - Narrative structure
This document discusses different aspects of narrative structure in film. It begins by explaining how the opening sequence introduces characters and settings to orient the audience. It then describes how the middle of the narrative develops these elements through changing relationships and new characters. Finally, it states that the closing sequence brings the narrative to a conclusion by resolving unanswered questions about story and characters. The document also briefly mentions multiple storylines, linear/circular/non-linear narratives, narrative possibilities, and character development.
Narrative theorists
Narrative explores conventions like genre, character, form, and time through how the story is told as events unfold. There are different narrative structures like linear (beginning, middle, end), circular (beginning at the end/middle), open (leaves questions), and closed (definite conclusion). More complex narratives contain plot twists and surprises. Restricted narratives withhold information from audiences while unrestricted narratives assume what audiences know. Narrative theorists like Todorov, Levi-Strauss, and Barthes provide ways to analyze narratives, focusing on equilibrium shifts, binary oppositions, and interpretive codes, respectively. Propp's functions drive narratives through character types and narrative events.

Categories and language
This document discusses various categories, language concepts, and semiotic principles for analyzing media texts. It outlines categories such as purpose, medium, form, and genre that can be used to classify media works. It also defines key language concepts including signs, codes, denotation, connotation, and how technology impacts narrative and audience reception.

Narrative theory - Media Studies
This document discusses several narrative theories, beginning with a definition of narrative as a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events presented to an audience. It then examines Tzvetan Todorov's theory that narratives follow five steps: equilibrium is disrupted, the disruption is recognized, an attempt is made to fix the damage, and a new resolution or equilibrium is reached. However, some narratives like the film "Se7en" deliberately avoid resolution. Vladimir Propp's theory identified common character archetypes in narratives like villains, helpers, and heroes. Claude Levi-Strauss's theory was that narratives rely on binary oppositions like strong vs. weak and good vs. evil.
Narrative
Narrative refers to storytelling and how elements are organized to create meaning. Narratives across media share characteristics like structure and how they are informed by characters, action, and location. Narrative structures can be closed with a conclusion or open-ended. Theorists like Todorov, Propp, Barthes, and Levi-Strauss analyzed narratives and identified common patterns. Todorov saw narratives as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium states. Propp identified character types like villains and heroes. Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic and symbolic that shape narratives.
Theorists
The document discusses several theorists that have contributed to understanding narratives and documentaries, including Tzevan Todorov, Vladimir Propp, Roland Barthes, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Steven Barnett. Todorov proposed that all stories follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium. Propp identified character roles like hero, villain, and dispatcher. Barthes described codes like enigma and action that control information for audiences. Levi-Strauss examined how stories reflect a culture's beliefs through binary oppositions. Barnett's "Disney fiction" theory suggests television dumbs down documentaries for ratings over serious content.
Narrative Theory
The document discusses several influential narrative theorists and their contributions:
1) Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairytales and identified character archetypes like the hero, villain, donor.
2) Tzvetan Todorov proposed most narratives have an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption, then resolution to a new equilibrium.
3) Roland Barthes identified five codes that structure narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, cultural.
4) Claude Levi-Strauss studied how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's beliefs through binary oppositions like civilized/savage.
Presentation69er
The document discusses concepts related to narrative structure and analysis. It describes how narratives typically follow a pattern of equilibrium being disrupted, followed by an attempt to restore order, and finally the order being restored. It then outlines several codes for analyzing narratives identified by Barthes, including the hermeneutic code involving unexplained elements that drive the story, the proairetic code of implied actions, the semantic code of extended meaning, the symbolic code of deeper meanings from opposing ideas, and the referential code of external knowledge. The document also summarizes Propp's identification of character roles and narrative functions in stories.
Narrative theory
The document discusses different models of narrative structure that can be applied to media texts, including Propp's 31 narrative functions model, Todorov's 5-stage model of narrative, and Roland Barthes' 5 codes of narrative. Propp believed narratives follow a sequence of 31 possible functions or plot points, such as one family member leaving home or a villain deceiving the victim. Todorov saw narratives as moving from an initial equilibrium, through disruption, an attempt to rectify it, to a new equilibrium. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic (mystery), proairetic (action), and semantic (meaning).
Narrative Theories
The document discusses different narrative theories that can be applied to documentaries, including Propp's theory about character archetypes like heroes and villains, classical story structure with a beginning, middle, and end, and Todorov's quest narrative theory. It notes that audience research found the public prefers the quest structure. It then states that the documentary team decided to use a quest narrative without a presenter to guide the story and help reach the goal by the end.
Narrative theories
The document summarizes several narrative theories:
1) Tzvetan Todorov's theory that stories follow an equilibrium-disruption-new equilibrium structure.
2) Vladimir Propp's analysis of folk tales as having recurring character types like heroes, villains, donors that fulfill narrative functions.
3) Claude Levi-Strauss's concept of narratives being driven by binary oppositions like man vs. woman, young vs. old.
Narrative therory.
The document outlines several narrative theories proposed by different theorists. Tzvetan Todorov and Syd Field suggest narratives follow a three-part structure with an initial equilibrium, a disruption, and a resolution. Vladimir Propp's theory focuses on character roles and their functions. Levi-Strauss proposes narratives rely on binary oppositions between characters. Roland Barthes identifies different codes used to structure narratives. Stanley Kubrick analyzed film narratives as composed of discrete story units. The document concludes by noting it will likely use binary oppositions to contrast how different age groups use technology in a documentary.

This document discusses several narrative theories:
- Narrative is how a story is told through a sequence of events, while the plot is the order characters learn about events.
- Barthes identified narrative codes like action and enigma that help audiences understand media texts.
- Levi-Strauss said narratives are propelled by conflicts that must be resolved.
- Todorov outlined a typical narrative form of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, new equilibrium.

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.
Narrative theory
Narrative theory examines how stories are communicated through media to convey meaning. There are several approaches to analyzing narratives. Vladimir Propp identified common character archetypes that often appear in stories, including heroes, villains, helpers, and false heroes. Tzvetan Todorov described a typical narrative structure as moving from equilibrium, to disruption, attempts to repair the disruption, and back to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes used in narratives: action, referential, semantic, enigma, and symbolic. Claude Levie-Strauss analyzed narratives in terms of binary oppositions between opposing concepts.

Narrative theory
Narrative theory analyzes how media texts communicate meaning about events. Narrative theorists suggest there are a limited number of character types that audiences use to understand narratives. For example, Vladimir Propp identified character types like the villain, hero, donor, and princess. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption, resolution. Roland Barthes argued narratives can be broken down into codes like action, reference, and symbolism that help readers make sense of stories. Levi-Strauss examined how unconscious cultural values are reflected in narratives through binary oppositions such as good vs bad.

Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions in narratives, and Barthes studied narrative codes like enigmas that hook audiences. The document ends by discussing how aspects of these theories were applied to the authors' own film production.
4 narrative
This document provides information on narrative theory and concepts that can be used to analyze stories and media texts. It discusses Tzvetan Todorov's concept of narrative as involving equilibrium, disequilibrium, and a new equilibrium. It also covers Claude Levi-Strauss's idea of narratives being driven by constant conflict between binary oppositions. Additionally, Vladimir Propp's characterization of common character types in folk tales, such as heroes, villains, and donors, is summarized. Examples are given of applying these theories to films and exploring their limitations. Students are assigned the task of analyzing one of their media texts using these narrative concepts.
J ade notes
Vladimir Propp developed a character theory identifying 7 broad character types that commonly appear in stories, including the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, and princess or prize. Propp's theory analyzes the X-Men characters into these types, with the hero being the central character whose actions restore order. Tzvetan Todorov's theory views stories as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium states. Roland Barthes and enigma codes use questions to create narrative suspense. William Gibson notes that audiences buy into narratives and characters rather than just products. Binary oppositions reveal narrative structures through paired concepts like good vs evil. Ideologies underpin representations
Television show narrative types
The document discusses various narrative theory concepts like Todorov's 5 stages of narrative structure, Propp's 7 character archetypes, and Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions. It also covers Barthes' idea of codes used in narratives and concludes by outlining an assignment to perform a semiotic analysis of a print advertisement.
Narrative Theory
This document discusses different narrative theories and how they apply to television news stories. It describes Todorov's theory of equilibrium, which states that stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium. It also outlines Barthes' enigma theory about creating questions for audiences. The document then analyzes a BBC news story about a music festival in Hockley, UK in terms of these narrative theories. It explains how the story uses enigma theory to raise questions and Todorov's theory by showing Hockley's shift from a negative reputation to a new, positive equilibrium through the festival.
Narrative theories
- Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified common character roles including the hero, donor, dispatcher, helper and princess. These roles fit into clearly defined functions that can be seen across cultures.
- Tzvetan Todorov proposed that most stories follow five stages: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to restore order, new equilibrium.
- Roland Barthes discovered narratives use five codes: hermeneutic code builds tension; enigma code drops clues; semantic code adds meaning; symbolic code organizes meanings; cultural code considers audience knowledge.
- The document discusses how the author's story fits some aspects of Propp's character roles, aligns more with Todorov's stages
Narrative
This document discusses various narrative theories that can be used to analyze media texts such as music videos. It introduces the theories of Todorov, Propp, and Levi-Strauss for understanding traditional narrative structures. Todorov's theory presents most narratives as having a beginning, middle, and end, with stages of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, reparation, and new equilibrium. Propp's theory identifies common character types in narratives. Levi-Strauss suggests opposing main characters are often used. The document discusses applying these theories to analyze the narratives and characters within music videos. It questions how far traditional theories can explain narratives in modern media forms.
Applying narrative theory short version
This document discusses several narrative theories and concepts that can be applied when analyzing media texts, including:
1. Vladimir Propp's character archetypes which identifies 7 broad character types that frequently appear in narratives. It provides examples of how these archetypes apply to the films Star Wars and Shrek.
2. Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative stages which proposes that stories typically move from an initial state of equilibrium, through disruption, to a new resolution or equilibrium. It questions the relevance of these stages to audience enjoyment.
3. Claude Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions which examines how opposite values and themes in a text reveal its underlying structure. It asks how familiar op
Narrative Theories
The document discusses several media theorists and their perspectives on narrative structure:
- Tzvetan Todorov analyzed stories as having an initial equilibrium, a disruption, and a new equilibrium.
- Vladmir Propp examined folk tales and identified common character archetypes like heroes, villains, donors, and helpers.
- Chris Vogler's definition of character archetypes and the 12 stages of the hero's journey have influenced Hollywood storytelling.
- Claude Levi-Strauss viewed narratives as organized around conflicts between binary oppositions like good and evil.
- Roland Barthes suggested narratives work through codes like an enigma code to create mysteries, an action code for tension,
Narrative theory
Narrative theory explains how stories are structured and convey meaning. There are several key narrative theories discussed in the document, including Todorov's theory of equilibrium, which states that stories follow a disruption-restoration structure; Levi-Strauss's binary opposition theory, which explains meaning through contrasts; and Barthes' enigma theory about creating questions for audiences. Television news uses these narrative theories to structure stories and engage audiences. The document provides an example of how the BBC uses theories like enigma, equilibrium, and binary opposites to report on a music festival aimed at improving the reputation of a town known for crime.
Narrative therory.
The document discusses several narrative theories proposed by thinkers such as Todorov, Propp, Levi-Strauss, Barthes, Field, and Kubrick. Todorov suggested narratives follow an equilibrium-disruption-resolution structure. Propp identified character roles and narrative functions. Levi-Strauss saw narratives as relying on binary oppositions. Barthes identified codes that control information for audiences. Field outlined a three-act structure. Kubrick saw films constructed from six to eight fundamental story sequences. The document concludes by stating the documentary will likely use binary oppositions to show technological differences between age groups.

Typography
The document summarizes primary market research conducted for a mystery chick-flick film title. A survey of 18 female respondents found that most preferred a cursive font (18), the color red (16), and the ampersand symbol "&" over "and" (16) in the title. Based on this, the filmmaker decided on the title "Loubs & Lies" in capital cursive red letters at the end of the film, to engage the target female audience and convey the mystery genre. Additional research was done on production company branding, leading to the name "Royal Productions" with a diamond logo incorporating sprinkled transitions.

The style draws from films like "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Legally Blonde" with close-ups, slow motion and focus on love and death.
analysis of an opening sequence 2
The opening sequence of Legally Blonde establishes the film's genre as a chick flick through several techniques. It begins with the MGM lion roar and transitions into an upbeat pop song that sets a happy, girly mood. Close-ups of blonde hair brushing introduce the protagonist Elle, as her name is shown on an envelope. The repetitive use of the color pink, along with stereotypical feminine props like perfume and nail polish, lead the audience to assume Elle will conform to stereotypes of materialism and vanity. Throughout, shots depict typical activities of a girl getting ready, cementing the film's target teenage female demographic and romantic comedy genre.

mise en scenee
Mise-en-scene refers to everything within the frame of a shot that has been arranged, including costumes, makeup, setting, props, and lighting. It is important for creating realism and helping audiences understand what is happening. Mise-en-scene provides clues about characters' personalities and the time period or location of a scene. For example, a character's costume can indicate their job or role, while lighting is used to set mood and atmosphere. By effectively incorporating these elements, filmmakers can ensure audiences clearly understand the context and meaning within a scene.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 2. WHAT IS NARRATIVE THEORY? Its simply a media word meaning telling a story. Its a way in which different elements in a story is organised to create a meaningful story. There are many narrative theories but they key ones used in media studies are: - Todorov's Theory of Equilibrium - Propp's Theory - Barther's Theory - Levi-Strauss Theory These theories explain what stories contain and are made of and how the story is told. Narrative organises random events random events into a logical form for the audience.
- 3. Neon Dye Inc. TODOROV - THEORY Todorov's narrative theory basically suggested that most of the story's or plots follow the same pattern or path. THERE ARE 5 STEPS INTO THIS PATTERN: 1. EQUILIBRIUM 2. A DISRUPTION 3. RESOLURION 4. REPAIR OF DAMAGE 5. EQUILIBRIUM AGAIN
- 5. L E V I S T R A U S S BINARY OPPOSTION THEORY Levi‑Strauss looked at narrative structure in terms of binary oppositions. Binary oppositions are sets of opposite values which reveal the structure of media texts.An example would be GOOD and EVIL ‑ we understand the concept of GOOD as being the opposite of EVIL. Strauss was not so interested in looking at the order in which events were arranged in the plot. He looked instead for deeper arrangements of themes. Neon Dye Inc.
- 6. Neon Dye Inc. R O L A N D B A R T H E R S ENIGMA CODE Roland Barthers came up with the theory Engima, which is based on creating questions that the audience want to find the answers to. Enigmas create and resolves questions
- 7. V L A D M I R P R O P P CHARACTER TYPE Propp suggested that the way to classify the characters and their actions into clearly defined roles and functions is by putting them into on of the character types. THERE ARE 7 CHARACTER TYPES: 1. The Hero – seeks something. 2. The Villain – opposes or actively blocks the heroes quest. 3. The Donor – the one who provides an object in magical properties. 4. The Dispatcher – sends the hero on his/her quest via a message. 5. The False Hero – makes false claims and disrupts the heroes' request. 6. The Helper – aids the hero. 7. The Princess – reward for the hero and the object of the villains plots Neon Dye Inc.
