The document discusses narrative theory and its application to film structure. It explains that narrative includes two parts: structure and elements. The structure is described using Todorov's five stages - equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, new equilibrium. An example of this structure from the film Psycho is provided. Elements are used in films to help audiences understand what is happening, like the unexpected shower murder scene in Psycho, which creates suspense through dramatic music and a fast, obscured depiction of violence.

Thriller films
Thrillers are a genre that involve building suspense and keeping audiences intrigued through mysteries and problems that protagonists must solve, often involving escapes, missions, or mysteries. Examples provided include Inception, The Departed, the Bourn films, and Gone Girl. Thrillers conventionally involve mystery, suspense, tension, drama, violence, and excitement. They differ over time, moving closer to horrors in the 21st century with more blood and modernized plots involving government conspiracies and terrorism. Thrillers follow Tzvetan Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and establishment of a new equilibrium.
Level 5’
1) A woman takes a lift down to the bottom floor of an office building where strange things have been happening.
2) While in the lift, the power cuts out and a voice says "it's play time" before a man bursts through the roof and stabs her repeatedly.
3) The treatment discusses using the confined space of a lift to enhance tension and claustrophobia as the scene unfolds.
Todorov
Todorov was a Bulgarian literary theorist who lived in France and published numerous books. He is known for defining the concepts of the fantastic, fantastic uncanny, and fantastic marvelous in literature. The fantastic involves supernatural events that could be explained as real or imaginary. In the fantastic uncanny, events have rational explanations like dreams or illusions. Todorov also described narrative as having five stages: equilibrium, disruption, character recognition of disruption and goal-setting, character attempts to repair disruption, and reinstatement of equilibrium.

This document discusses the codes and conventions of the horror genre. It provides examples of common horror elements such as unsettling footage designed to cause fear, isolation, darkness, and a focus on vulnerability. It also lists different subgenres of horror. The document then analyzes the opening scene of the film "Haunting in Connecticut" and how it effectively uses horror conventions like disorienting sound, newspaper headlines about nightmares, and implying a dark history of the house to set up fear and suspense.
1. Initial planning
Jesse is planning a mock documentary called "Pantry Panic" about who stole food from the family pantry. Everyone blames the dog, but through interviews and reconstructions, it seems the facts don't point to the dog. The documentary will investigate the means, motive, and opportunity of the dog, parents, and children to determine who is really responsible. This could become a pilot for a TV show or the culprit may be revealed immediately.
Murder mystery codes and conventions
Murder mysteries follow common codes and conventions - the storyline involves an unsolved crime that is unravelled through clues, circumstances, and interviews by a detective or civilian who works to catch the villain and solve the killing. Typical characters include the solver of the crime, the murderer, those with information, and victims. Settings usually involve the office where the crime is investigated and the scene of the murder, often a house or workplace.
Conventions of murder mystery
The document discusses key conventions of murder mystery films, including a murder, victim, detective, and murderer. It provides examples from the movie Frantic, noting it includes multiple murders, with Dr. Walker's wife and Michelle as victims. Dr. Walker acts as the detective, following clues like a souvenir and phone number to find his wife. There are also several murderers, including one who kills Dede and another who kills Michelle. The movie contains plot twists, like the souvenir becoming important and Dr. Walker throwing away a sought-after object.
6th form our film
The filmmakers plan to make a short thriller film about a man confessing to a murder during a therapy session, but with his memory fading he can only provide a vague and disjointed confession. The film will be inspired by Memento and also feature nonlinear storytelling and changing perspectives as the man's memory deteriorates. It will alternate between the therapy setting and fragmented flashbacks to the murder, showing the crime from different angles to represent the man's unstable recollection of events.

Conventions of the murder mystery genre
The document discusses common elements found in murder mystery films. There is typically a detective or civilian trying to solve a crime by piecing together clues and evidence. A key character provides important information to help solve the brutal killing. Films feature settings related to the crime for investigating, as well as an office for analyzing clues. Editing often uses fade to blacks to add suspense, while iconography portrays dull and dark days to set a depressing mood that matches the serious events. Soundtracks contribute mellow, eerie music to build tension throughout the film. Common themes involve conspiracy or pursuit.
the story of an hour and the yellow wallpaper analysis
The document summarizes and analyzes two short stories: "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Both stories portray women in the 19th century struggling against the social norms and expectations of the time that restricted women's freedom and autonomy. In "The Yellow Wallpaper," a woman is confined by her husband's "rest cure" treatment for postpartum depression and descends into madness. In "The Story of an Hour," a woman feels joyful at believing her husband has died, seeing it as a chance at freedom from her marriage. The document examines themes of gender roles, women's oppression, and the symbolic elements in the two stories.
Mise en scene in psycho
This document analyzes 7 shots from the famous shower scene in the 1960 film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. Each shot is described in 1-2 sentences noting how elements like facial expressions, positioning of the body, and symbolism are used to build tension and suggest that the character is being attacked and killed in the shower without explicitly showing the violence. The shots progressively show the woman becoming scared, in pain, struggling for help, and finally dead on the floor with her eyes open to emphasize that she is no longer alive.
Film noir pitch
The document outlines a film noir pitch that follows a femme fatale who manipulates her psychologist into helping her get rid of her husband. It begins with the femme fatale in her psychologist's office, establishing her mysterious nature. Through a flashback, we learn her husband has done something to her. As sexual tension rises, she manipulates the psychologist into kissing her and asking him to kill her husband so they can be together. The film would end back in the office with the psychologist telling the femme fatale he has completed the job, but she no longer wants him and leaves. The document also lists film noir conventions, plot details, character descriptions, potential actors, and props. It concludes by stating next steps are
Saw iv opening scene analysis
The opening scene of Saw IV establishes the dark and disturbing tone of the film through its use of camerawork, editing, and mise-en-scene. We see a woman trapped in a cage-like structure with a device attached to her head and surrounded by dangerous weapons. The blurred and unstable camerawork conveys her delirious state of mind and anxiety. This unsettling opening leaves us wanting to know who is behind these traps and if she will survive, drawing us into the horror story that will unfold.
Nissassa presentation
The film NISSASSA tells the story of a group of people caught in a rainstorm who seek shelter at a derelict motel in Nevada. They soon realize they may be there for another reason when people start getting killed off one by one. Meanwhile, a psychiatrist is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial. The film uses point of view shots and close ups to convey tension and mystery as the two storylines become interconnected. It is aimed at older teenagers and adults who enjoy psychological thrillers with deeper meanings.
Powerpoint question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real thriller/horror genre films. It analyzes elements like character archetypes, typical plot events, narrative structure, credits, music, lighting, pacing and limited dialogue to build suspense. The opening sequence aims to grasp the tone and set up mystery in line with conventions seen in films like "Seven".
Mise en scene psycho
The document analyzes the famous shower scene from the 1960 horror film Psycho through a mise-en-scene lens. It examines 7 shots from the scene. The shots establish that the character is vulnerable in the shower through being naked. They build tension by obscuring the killer's identity and showing the woman's reaction of shock, pain, and struggle. The final shots symbolize her life draining away and death with her eyes open, staring at the audience.
Media film pitch
This film pitch proposes a horror/slasher genre film set in a dystopian future where a guilt-ridden priest begins killing sinners who confess crimes to him. The priest believes he is avenging crimes by committing the same acts against the sinners. The film would follow 12 victims and focus on a psychotic priest, suspected killer, news reporter, and ex-homicide detective trying to stop him. Back-up ideas include a crime thriller about a detective searching for his kidnapped wife and daughter, or a sci-fi film in a quarantined zone struggling with a zombie-causing infection.
How did you attract/address your audience?
The document discusses strategies for attracting and engaging an audience for a suspense film. It argues that subtle elements like ambient background music and an ominous ringing sound can build mystery and discomfort. Revealing that the victim is a schoolgirl and her kidnapper was her teacher would deeply impact the largely school-aged audience by violating social norms. Depicting the antagonist as a psychopathic killer targeting girls could attract viewers through its similarities to other popular films and by presenting something outside of what society deems normal or righteous.
Film proposal. omar 2
Two people are kidnapped and wake up chained in a dirty basement. A voice over a speaker tells them they must play games to escape, with escalating stakes like cutting open an eye to find a key, or be killed by a bear trap. The police follow clues to the house but find it empty, with the victims dead, as the trailer hinted at the kidnapping but not the outcome. The film proposes a horror/thriller about an evil man who torments and kills victims as revenge for past misdeeds.
Put on blog
The opening credits of a horror film establish that it is based on a true story, making the audience aware of the possibility of such events occurring in real life. It also reveals that a man is responsible for the killings, allowing the audience to understand his capabilities. Through depictions of dead bodies and blood, as well as close-ups and tension, the credits construct the genres of thriller and slasher. Visually, the credits show the destruction and gore through images of examined corpses. The lack of music adds to the tension and fear, with only sound effects emphasizing the terror. The basic typography creates mystery about the film's mood or subgenre.
4a documentary modes
The document discusses six different modes or types of documentaries:
1) The Poetic mode focuses on images and organization rather than continuity, with people appearing as entities.
2) The Expository mode uses voiceover or titles to directly address the viewer and persuade them. Images are used to advance the argument.
3) The Observational mode simply observes what is happening without interference, allowing viewers to relate to the situations.
4) The Participatory mode believes it is impossible to film without influencing events and aims to show how situations are affected.
5) The Reflexive mode puts its own spin on situations to draw attention to specific parts and messages.
6) The Performative mode is strongly
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses the opening sequence of a supernatural thriller film. It describes how the sequence establishes mystery around the identity of the pursuer and victim's fate to intrigue audiences. Suspense is created through a chase scene and eerie, non-lyrical music. These techniques are commonly used in the genre. While the sequence contains familiar genre conventions like chase scenes, its unique aspect is focusing on teenage main characters and themes they can relate to.
Research into psychological horror
A psychological horror film establishes seemingly normal settings and characters to create an unsettling atmosphere. Characters are often left undefined at first to add mystery. The main character is usually a woman to emphasize vulnerability. Common character types include young adults, the mentally or emotionally unstable, goths, and detectives. Music, sounds of pain and suffering, and a slow, well-paced plot enhance tension and suspense. Low lighting, fast editing during dramatic scenes, and handheld camera shots further unsettle the audience. Common iconography includes haunted houses, symbols of death, masks, screaming victims, and phallic weapons.

This document outlines generic conventions in slasher films and provides details for an original slasher film plot that incorporates both conventional and unconventional elements. It discusses how to increase tension through camera angles, sound, lighting, and editing. The proposed plot involves a female killer seeking revenge who targets wealthy victims in subtle ways to maintain narrative mystery. While keeping suspense through a hidden identity and slow reveals, the plot aims to subvert expectations by having an unlikely female antagonist and avoiding justification of indiscriminate killing.
Sub genre 2 - Psycho killers and Slasher movies
The document provides information about slasher films and analyzes key elements of the film Psycho and its poster and trailer. It notes that slasher films typically involve a psychotic killer murdering teenagers in random acts of violence. The poster and trailer for Psycho establish mood and tension through techniques like the use of color, lighting, camera angles, and abrupt changes in sound. Analysis of the trailer highlights how it subverts expectations of the genre initially and builds suspense through its shots.
Dystopian film
This document discusses dystopian films and provides examples such as The Purge, Never Let Me Go, Fahrenheit 451, The Hunger Games, and Divergent. It also outlines a plot idea where a girl is hit by a car and ends up in a coma, dreaming that she is going to school normally while clues throughout the film reveal that she is actually in the hospital in a coma from the car accident.
The Gathering Individual Narrative
The short film idea is called "The Gathering" and is a disaster thriller genre. It follows a group of girls attending a house party where one girl decides to drive the others home after drinking alcohol, insisting she is fine. Another girl at the party has taken drugs and has a hallucination of the car crashing over a cliff. Despite warning the others, they do not believe her and get in the car. The car crashes and kills everyone as the drugged girl had foreseen. The narrative ends on a cliffhanger as the drugged girl has another vision of her own death while boarding a plane, suggesting her premonitions may come true. The narrative theory is Todorov's, following five stages of
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.
Theory of Equilibrium
Tzvetan Todorov's theory of equilibrium proposes that narratives follow a 5-stage circular structure: 1) an initial state of equilibrium, 2) a disruption causing disequilibrium, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the damage, and 5) a return to a new equilibrium. The narrative is driven by restoring equilibrium, though the final equilibrium is transformed from the initial state. This structure involves characters or situations changing through progressing the disruption, which usually occurs outside normal social events.
Propp’s character theory
Propp's character theory outlines seven character archetypes that commonly appear in folktales and fairy tales. The hero is a male protagonist who restores normality by defeating the villain and winning the love of the heroine. The villain causes disruption and threatens the heroine. The dispatcher sends the hero on a quest to restore order, often as a test for the heroine's father. The donor gives the hero a gift to aid the quest. The helper supports the hero. The heroine is typically passive and in need of rescue. The false hero deceives by appearing to help the hero.

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.
PSYCHO
The document discusses the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film "Psycho" in several sections. It provides background on the film's director, writers, and stars. It also examines how Hitchcock used techniques like suspense, shocks, and unexpected twists to keep audiences engaged. Specifically, it analyzes the famous shower scene murder and how Hitchcock left parts to the imagination through editing.
Narrative pulp fiction
The fragmented narrative of Pulp Fiction is presented out of chronological order. Here is a 3 sentence summary of the document in linear sequence:
The events begin on Monday morning when Vincent and Jules go to retrieve a briefcase for Marsellus Wallace. That night, Butch is bribed by Marsellus to throw a boxing match. The following day, Vincent picks up Mia and they go on a date, but she overdoses on Vincent's heroin; he takes her to recover at Lance's.
The conjuring
The opening sequence of The Conjuring uses black and white archival photos and newspaper clippings to establish the true story basis and set the dark, foreboding tone. Photos of the real families involved help introduce the characters and bond the audience with them, while negative lighting and shots of a graveyard emphasize the supernatural and themes of death. Brief footage of Ed and Lorraine Warren lecturing adds to the historical authenticity and credibility, helping increase the audience's fear knowing the story is based on real events.
Group11 final
Piaget and Vygotsky were both influential developmental psychologists who studied how children learn and develop. While they agreed that children are active participants in their own learning, they differed on some key factors. Piaget focused on physical development and interactions, emphasizing assimilation and accommodation. Vygotsky emphasized social interactions and language, seeing learning as occurring through scaffolding within a child's zone of proximal development.
Narrative theories applied in ‘Psycho’
The document discusses different narrative theories applied in the film Psycho, including chronological order, sub-plots, mysteries/problems introduced and resolved (Roland Barthes), and the male gaze theory of Laura Mulvey. It notes that Psycho follows a linear chronological order and classic Hollywood structure to build mystery around the unknown killer. While Marion initiates the plot through theft, the male characters like the detective and Sam Loomis actively move it forward. In the climax, Lila is passive while Sam must save her, illustrating Mulvey's theory of the dominant male role in cinema.

Matrix semiotics
This document summarizes key concepts from Roland Barthes' theory of semiotics:
1) Semiotics is the study of sign systems and how meaning is derived from signs. A signifier is the form that the sign takes and the signified is the concept it represents.
2) Signs can change in meaning over time. For example, yellow ribbons initially represented forgiveness but later represented support for American troops.
3) Signs have both a denotative (descriptive) meaning and a connotative meaning linked to cultural and ideological values. The connotative meaning is how signs can be used to reinforce dominant social and political views.

Laura Mulvey's Female Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in her influential essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema." She argued that in most films, the audience is positioned to view female characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer. This denies women their humanity and reduces them to objects for the male gaze. Mulvey suggested that mainstream films typically portray women in passive roles that exist only in relation to male characters and provide visual pleasure or inspiration for men's actions.
The matrix
The opening scene of The Matrix uses dark colors, green tones, and sci-fi sound effects to set a mysterious and technological tone. Shots slowly zoom in on coded text and a man's torch to introduce the futuristic world. Men are shown searching dark corridors with flashlights for a woman, seen in an over-the-shoulder shot entering a room and then a close-up of her face. Throughout, the lighting is dark and the soundtrack features building music and computerized sounds to further immerse the audience in the film's sci-fi genre.

Todorov's theory
Todorov's narrative theory outlines a structure for stories with five stages: 1) initial equilibrium, 2) a disruption to that equilibrium via an event, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the damage, and 5) a return to a new equilibrium. The theory is demonstrated through summarizing the plot of The Shining in five sentences, each corresponding to one of the stages. Students are assigned homework to apply the theory by analyzing the structure of a film of their choice in a blog post.

Assignment 15.
This document provides a summary and analysis of the 2000 film Memento. It discusses the film through the lenses of Todorov's narrative theory and Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites. Key points include that Memento has two timelines, one in color and one in black and white, to experience what the main character experiences as he cannot form new long-term memories. It also explores how the main character Leonard Shelby uses notes and tattoos to hunt for his wife's killer, with his opponent Teddy manipulating him due to his memory loss. The analysis shows how Levi-Strauss's theory applies binary opposites to define narratives and in the film positions Teddy as "evil" versus Leonard as
The storyline to our music video
Todorov's narrative theory proposes that stories follow 5 stages: equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition of disequilibrium, attempt to repair damage, and new equilibrium. The document applies this theory to analyze the storyline of a music video about domestic violence. It describes how each stage is depicted, showing the normalization of violence initially and a new equilibrium where the victim gets help. However, the theory may not always apply to music videos given their different aims compared to films - videos emphasize impact over narrative.

Film Narratives
The document analyzes film narrative theories and applies them to the film "Before I Go to Sleep." It summarizes Todorov's, Propp's, and Levi-Strauss's theories and identifies the narrative structures they see in the film. The document concludes that Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and return to equilibrium best describes the plot of the film. It also discusses potential applications of Propp's character archetypes to the author's own thriller film.
Tzvetan Todorov theory
Todorov proposed a theory of narrative structure that he believed could be applied to any film. The theory consists of 5 stages: 1) equilibrium, where power is balanced; 2) disequilibrium, caused by a disruption to the order; 3) acknowledgement of the disorder; 4) an attempt to repair the damage; and 5) a new state of equilibrium is reached, restoring normality. This structure can be seen in most film narratives, with the disruption normally occurring outside of everyday situations, such as a murder investigation.
Psychological Horror Film Research

It was filmed in black and white from November 1959 to March 1960. Hitchcock used illusion and editing to depict violence without showing graphic content. The $800,000 film went on to earn over $40 million. Techniques like close-ups, diegetic sound, and Bernard Herrmann's score were used to build suspense. Characterization and settings also contributed to the film's unsettling tone.

It also applies Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites to the characters of Leonard and Teddy. Finally, it examines the film using Barthes' semantic, symbolic, and cultural codes.
Narrative Theories
The music video for Britney Spears' "Every Time" depicts her character dealing with intrusive paparazzi while out with her partner. An altercation ensues when the paparazzi annoy them. Back home, she and her partner argue, and she later loses consciousness while bathing. The video cuts to a hospital where doctors are unable to resuscitate her as a baby is born next door, implying her reincarnation. Theories of narrative structure and symbolic codes are then discussed and applied to elements of the music video's plot.

Todorov's Narrative Theory
- 2. • All films and media texts show a story, a structure. The narrative theory helps the audience understand the storyline or the plot of a film. When the narrative is added to the film, the film becomes more organised and structured into elements and parts. • The narrative includes two parts: The structure & the elements.
- 3. • Todorov’s theory works when a film is separated into five different stages. • 1. A state of equilibrium. • 2. A disruption to the equilibrium. • 3. Recognition that the disorder has occurred. • 4. Attempt to repair the damage. • 5. Return to a new equilibrium.
- 4. • 1. A state of 2. A disruption equilibrium to the equilibrium 3. Recognition 5. Return to that the a new disorder has equilibrium. occurred. 4. Attempt to repair the damage.
- 5. 1. A state of equilibrium. A women steels money from her the job at a bank and travels out of city to stay at a hotel. 2. A disruption to the equilibrium. The women gets murdered by a unknown person whilst taking a shower at the hotel. 3. Recognition that the disorder has occurred. The women’s sister and police find out she is missing and visit the same hotel. 4. Attempt to repair the damage. They find out the hotel owner’s(Norman Bates) mother could be a suspect and search for evidence at the hotel owners house. Then they catch Norman Bates committing the murder dressed as his mother. We realise his mother has been dead for several years. 5. Return to a new equilibrium. The arrest Norman Bates and the sister and police realise he was the killer and the hotel is now safe.
- 7. • Elements are used in a film to help the audience understand what’s happening. Image and texts can be used to create a situation.
- 8. • An element of the film Psycho is the first murder scene. For the audience this scene is really unexpected and surreal. The scene show a medium shot of a women in the shower, the audience doesn’t suspect anything. • Dramatic music suddenly builds and a black shadowed figure pulls open the shower curtain and murders the women. The director Alfred Hitchcock has made the audience feel like being on the edge of the seats, because the scene is unexpected and is filmed so fast, so the audience do not notice any blood and gore. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VP5jEAP3K4
