Narrative Research


There are different stages to a narrative of a film. From my research I found that this is what is contained within a film. Staring with an exposition which is an introduction, disruption which is a problem or dilema which could arise in the movie, a climax where there is a turning point and finally a resolution which ends in everything going back to normal.


Todorov's created his own theory and that was that there is an equilibrium which is where everything comes with an introduction, disruption where the antagonist comes into play, recognition where the problem becomes alerted. The effects of the problem start to take place mainly on characters. The disruption is repaired and resolved when is an attempt to correct arises. Finally a new equilibrium is added which concludes the narrative and this end with everything being restored.

Claude Levi Strauss studied man stories and fables. He came to a conclusion that we as humans see the world, events and people by using binary opposites. He also said that narratives are created with traits such as disagreement and conflist between binary opposites such as, Good versus bad and male versus female etc.
