- after learning about Todorov's theory I understand much better when the main movie has started
- 3 different stages of equilibrium
- I could also use this theory for my own film opening
- how to create a dis-equilibrium
WHAT I DISCUSS IN THIS POST:
- Todorov's Narrative Theory
- understand when the main movie starts
- 3 part equilibrium
...
...
- represented from Todorov's Narrative theory
- it suggests that it follows a 3 part equilibrium structure
- this equilibrium is disrupted by something (binary opposition)
- then reaches a solution when equilibrium is restored
RESEARCH(MINE):
The clear transitioning to the main film can be represented from Todorov's Narrative Theory. Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all narratives follow a 3 part equilibrium structure, it progresses as suddenly something comes/happen to disrupt that equilibrium (e.g. binary opposition) and finally reach a solution when the equilibrium is restored. The transition to the main film starts with an equilibrium (everything is as it should be) then there's a disruption (by an event or change in the characters life) that's when it's clear it has transitioned to the main film.

In Would You Rather (2013) the equilibrium is that the central protagonist and her brother have been left in debt after their parents died and the brother is very ill who needs medical help which they can't afford. Her life changes when it's offered to her to win a lot of money which can pay for her school, debts, and her brother's treatment. In order to win she has to compete in a game with other participants.

In Need For Speed (2014) the equilibrium is that the central protagonist stopped racing after he sat in prison for a few years. But soon he changes his mind and his life changed when he started preparing himself for that famous race he decided to take part in. As well as to revenge his friend who got killed at a car accident.
