Tzvetan Todorov is a Franco-Bulgarian philosopher who has lived in France since 1963 with his family, writing about literary theory, thought history, and culture theory. Todorov suggests that all narratives follow a three-part structure of beginning with equilibrium, being disrupted by some event, and finally reaching resolution by restoring the original equilibrium.

Todorov proposed that narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and reinstatement of equilibrium. He suggested stories begin with a status quo, this is disrupted by an event setting off a chain of events, and problems are solved to restore order. His five-stage structure includes an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair it, and a final reinstatement of equilibrium. This conventional structure can be seen in many mainstream films like The Mummy, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, and Titanic.
Theorys
Post-feminist theory describes viewpoints that react to feminism by believing that first wave goals have been achieved but are critical of third wave goals, focusing more on how women think rather than their appearance. Feminist theory aims to understand gender inequality by examining women's social roles and experiences. Vladimir Propp's theory suggests there are a limited number of character types that each serve a purpose in Russian folktales and fairy tales. Tzvetan Todorov's theory claims stories have three stages: equilibrium, disruption when the calm is disrupted, and a new equilibrium when a new calm state is restored.

1 horror sub genre [repaired]
Gothic horrors were first made in the 1920s and were the first films to use soundtracks. Early female monsters in these films tended to be beautiful rather than scary, defying horror conventions. Psychological horrors rely on fears and instability to build tension using realistic threats like assault. Slasher films from the 1990s featured masked killers stalking victims with weapons like knives. Possession films center around families with a possessed member and use religious figures to confront the evil spirit.

Detailed opening sequence analysis
This opening scene from Halloween 2 establishes the themes of mental illness, violence, and horror. It begins with an unsettling musical cue and text about psychosis and destruction. Images of a sanitarium with the sign "SANITARIUM" in bleached letters further this disturbing tone.

The scene suggests Michael's violent nature in the film stems from mental illness and his time in the sanitarium.

Evaluation tasks media question 3
The intended outcome of the film production's trailer was to engage audiences and encourage them to view the film in cinemas. The trailer aimed to advertise the film and establish part of the narrative and genre through creating mysteries. While the storyboard provided a foundation, the filmmakers decided to change shots and order during filming. Key conventions from other film posters in the thriller/horror genre were followed in creating the poster.
Evalustion 2 technology
We used Pinnacle video editing software to put shots in order, change lighting and colors, and add titles and effects to create atmosphere. A camera and tripod were used to capture a variety of steady shots. Pinnacle allowed editing of individual shots through tools like pan and zoom but occasionally crashed without saving, though more frequent saving mitigated this problem. The technology overall enabled editing and production despite some software constraints.
Storyboard for Trailer
The document provides a list of camera shots from a film scene, including establishing shots, flashbacks, close-ups of characters and objects, point-of-view shots from the killer, long shots showing interactions between characters, and shots of a killer stabbing photographs.

Barthes media trailers
Barthes was a French theorist who influenced many fields including structuralism and post-structuralism. His theory on media codes proposed that the hermeneutic code, or enigma code, refers to unexplained elements of a story that create mystery for the reader. The proairetic code, or action code, builds tension through unexplained actions that make the reader guess what will happen next. According to Barthes, leaving some scenarios and plot lines unexplained keeps audiences engaged as they try to solve the mystery.

Tzvetan Todorov is a Franco-Bulgarian philosopher who has lived in France since 1963 with his family, writing about literary theory, thought history, and culture theory. Todorov suggests that all narratives follow a three part structure: beginning with equilibrium, progressing as something disrupts that equilibrium, and finally reaching resolution when equilibrium is restored.
