Todorov - Narrative Theory
Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all narratives follow a three part structure where they begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.
We created and edited a video to engage students in learning theories in media. Written on whiteboards are the different parts of the narrative theory which enables the audience to visually see what is being talked about. The voice-over will describe the narrative theory with a short clip showing an example.
In the video that I uploaded onto Youtube, the storyline:
- The main boy is having a good day and he is happy
- Water is thrown on him, making him sad
- Then he is thrown across the lockers- After, the bully comes to make things better again and apologise
- The boy understands and is equilibrium is returned
