Todorov Narrative Theory

When making our trailer we tried to use Todorov narrative theory. This meaning that we must show a state of equilibrium, then the disruption this state followed by a new equilibrium. However it is important to keep the audience guessing we won’t show the new equilibrium to a certain extent that the audience know what is going to happen towards the end of the film.

Brief Storyline

Here is brief outline of how we will try and make our trailer pan out to be. Naturally due to different circumstances it will not come out exact as it is on paper as new ideas shall arise as we continue to shoot the scenes for the teaser trailer.

·         Opening shot shows how they first meet in a cafe. She works in there and he goes in to buy a coffee and they look into each other’s eyes and immediately fall in love.

·         Cuts showing them two together, walking through woods. Seen in a shopping area, having a coffee in the winter.

·         He tells her how he feels and finds out she feels the same way.

·         Cut to him getting his grades AAB and then to his parents saying he has to go to university. They have an argument begin to shout and throw stuff around. He is disappointed that he is going university but parents are overwhelmed.

·         Cuts to the couple going for a walk and he tells her along the way, they agree to stay together and say not to worry about it yet. It rains so they both run to the park and hide under the slide. They look at each other and kiss.

·         He says he will come and visit but never does, 3-4 months later and he’s back for Christmas.

·         He goes to see her but she is with someone else. The couple meet and he explains that he           couldn’t get away as he had so much work to do and that he wanted too and she says she weren’t waiting around forever. He explains how he tried to contact her every day.

·         He leaves angry and punches the walls and objects on his departure.

·         She begins to cry, after sitting and crying runs out of the house.

·         Then loads of cuts showing them crying together and not together, showing various different emotions leaving the audience in suspense.
