Todorov's Narrative Theory of Equilibrium

Disequilibrium

    Me and my partner plan to Integrate this theory into our project by causing disequilibrium before the climax. This theory states that the production must cause an 'initial disruption' to a protagonist's life, it also involves an acknowledgement of this disruption and an attempt to combat this.

    We aim to achieve this by immediately causing a disturbance amongst specific characters by, making them go 'missing', and showing how these activities negatively affect our protagonist from the get-go. "AMBER" would be one of those films where a series of events unfold but the audience is too far into the timeline so immediately after the opening scene everything backtracks.


If we created an entire film, it would follow these guidelines, like most productions do. This is because following similar patterns allows audiences to easily follow along without losing focus on the film and creates a concrete baseline.
