Todorov theory
Todorov was a philosopher who proposed that many linear narratives follow five common stages: 1) Equilibrium, 2) Disruption, 3) Recognition of Disruption, 4) Attempt to Repair Disruption, and 5) Reestablishment of Equilibrium. These stages are seen in children's stories and films as well as more adult-oriented works. While soap opera trailers do not necessarily show a linear narrative, they often highlight elements of Disruption and Recognition of Disruption to convey drama, as well as maintaining a balance of Equilibrium to establish the setting.

Julian treasure, speaking in a way that people listen
This document summarizes a TED talk about how to speak powerfully and effectively. It identifies common sins of speech like gossiping, judging, negativity, and complaining that turn people off.

The document discusses the concept of theme in stories. It defines theme as the primary statement, purpose, overall message or truth of the story. It provides examples of themes from movies like Terminator, Frankenstein, and Annie Hall.

The document also briefly defines premise as the basis of conflict in a story.
Todorov’s narrative theory
The document outlines Todorov's narrative theory, which states that most stories follow the same five-step pattern or plot structure. The five steps are: 1) Equilibrium, where characters are content, 2) A Disruption, which disturbs the happiness, 3) Realization, where the problem is recognized, 4) Restored Order, where characters try to repair the damage, and 5) Equilibrium Again, where the problem is resolved and normality resumes. The document provides examples from The Simpsons Movie to illustrate each step of the narrative theory.

Irony (types of irony)
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony: verbal irony uses sarcasm to express the opposite meaning of what is said, dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something a character does not, and situational irony involves unexpected situations that are opposite of what was expected. Examples are given for each type of irony to illustrate these concepts.
Common Conventions in Horror Films
The document outlines common conventions found in horror films, including characters being isolated in remote locations like woods or abandoned buildings with no means of calling for help. It also describes how threats are often forgotten or ignored, lights and phones are disabled at crucial moments, and characters make poor decisions like investigating strange noises alone or running upstairs instead of outside to escape danger. Other conventions mentioned are vehicles that won't start, fake scares being mistaken for real threats, warnings going unheeded, early killings to set the mood, references to past events, and storms on nights of danger.
