The document discusses Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory, which proposes that narratives follow a common structure: (1) an initial state of equilibrium, (2) a disruption to this equilibrium through some event, and (3) a resolution that establishes a new equilibrium. It provides examples from Disney's Frozen, noting the story's opening happy state is disrupted when Elsa's powers are revealed, various attempts are made to resolve this, and a new equilibrium is reached by the end.

Propp's theory + Todorov's theory
Propp's theory + Todorov's theory WillRussell6Vladimir Propp discovered there are usually 7 main character types in films: the hero, villain, dispatcher, helper, princess, false hero, and princess' father. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that all narratives follow 5 stages: an initial equilibrium, a disruption of that order, a recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the damage, and a new equilibrium. Propp's theory describes common character roles while Todorov's theory outlines a typical narrative structure progressing from normality to resolution.

Vladimir propps narrative theorykstraffordThe document discusses Vladimir Propp's narrative theory and applies it to the film Frozen. It identifies the main character archetypes in Propp's theory, including the villain (Hans), the magical helper (the trolls), and the princess/prize (Elsa). It notes that in Frozen, Anna serves as both the hero who tries to save her sister Elsa, as well as the false hero in initially trusting Hans. The document analyzes how each character in Frozen maps onto Propp's typical character types.
Music video analysis of arctic monkeys
Music video analysis of arctic monkeysHarmony ShawThis video analyzes the music video for "Snap Out of It" by Arctic Monkeys in terms of how it represents gender, social class, etc. It finds that the video portrays the female protagonist as emotionally unstable and an object of desire through sexualized camerawork and close-ups. In contrast, the male band members are shown smiling and in control. Scenes of the upper-class woman with expensive jewelry but also dirty mugs suggests the dichotomy of wealth and bad habits. Overall, the analysis finds stereotypical portrayals of women as weak and emotionally unstable compared to hard-working, powerful men.

Todorov’s Narrative Theory_________.pptxderanurfitrianiTodorov's narrative theory posits that all stories follow a three-part structure: equilibrium, disruption, and resolution. The theory outlines five steps in this structure: establishing equilibrium, introducing a disruption, realizing the problem, restoring order, and achieving a new equilibrium. Examples from 'The Simpsons Movie' are used to illustrate each step of the narrative pattern.

Todorov's theorycerys grattonTodorov's narrative theory proposes that all stories follow a 5-step pattern: 1) an initial state of equilibrium, 2) a disruption to that equilibrium, 3) the characters realizing the cause of the disruption, 4) an attempt to restore order, and 5) the final return to equilibrium with the problem resolved. The theory suggests storylines will feature a normal beginning, a problem that upsets things, understanding of why the problem occurred, efforts to fix the damage, and ultimately a resolution that brings things back to normal.

Todrov theory sandrasandra178Todorov's theory proposes that narratives follow an equilibrium-disruption-new equilibrium structure, where a story begins with a stable situation, faces some disruption, and ends with resolution or a new stability. The example of Titanic shows the initial stability of the luxury ship, the disruption of Jack and Rose's romance and the sinking after hitting an iceberg, and attempts to survive and restore order. The document discusses applying Todorov's theory to a story involving a character who hears unexpected sounds at school, facing disruption and seeking resolution.

Todorov's narrative theoryLauraHartnett02Todorov's narrative theory outlines a basic structure for narratives, beginning with an equilibrium, followed by a disruption, and concluding with a new equilibrium. This structure is commonly observed in media texts like films and TV shows, where the narrative reflects the process of resolving conflict to return to a state of harmony. The theory emphasizes the importance of both structural elements and narrative components in storytelling.

His theory suggests all media follows this basic pattern of introducing characters in a calm state, disrupting that calm with some challenge or problem, and ultimately restoring order and peace by resolving the disruption. The theory views narrative as having two parts - a structure defined by the equilibrium shifts, and various elements like images and texts that create and resolve situations within that structure.
Todorov
TodorovJasper1899Tzvetan Todorov was a Bulgarian-French literary theorist and historian who wrote dozens of books exploring topics like fantasy in fiction, colonialism, fanaticism, and the Holocaust. He passed away in February 2017. Todorov simplified narrative theory and allowed for more complex film analysis through his concept of narrative equilibrium. He proposed narratives progress through five stages: equilibrium, disruption by an event, character recognition of the threat, attempted repair of the environment, and a new equilibrium state.

Specifically, it begins with characters in a calm situation (equilibrium). This is disrupted by some event, and the majority of the plot involves resolving this problem. By the end, a new equilibrium is usually established, though the trailer leaves the final resolution unclear to intrigue viewers. This classic narrative structure can be applied to many mainstream films and will guide the creation of tensions and resolutions within the trailer.
Todorovs narrative theory
Todorovs narrative theoryKim FysonTzvetan Todorov is a historian and essayist who developed a theory of narrative structure. He proposed that narratives follow a circular pattern of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium. Specifically, they begin with an initial stable state, experience some event that disturbs the order, and conclude after the disruption has been addressed and a new stable state restored, with the characters or situation transformed. According to Todorov, the middle portion can depict actions outside of social norms, and some stories involve multiple disruptions before achieving resolution.

Tzvetan Todorov theoryemilycockayneTodorov proposed a theory of narrative structure that he believed could be applied to any film. The theory consists of 5 stages: 1) equilibrium, where power is balanced; 2) disequilibrium, caused by a disruption to the order; 3) acknowledgement of the disorder; 4) an attempt to repair the damage; and 5) a new state of equilibrium is reached, restoring normality. This structure can be seen in most film narratives, with the disruption normally occurring outside of everyday situations, such as a murder investigation.

It notes that while narratives are circular rather than linear, the final equilibrium is not identical to the initial one, as the narrative involves some transformation. Horror stories in particular rely on multiple disruptions as characters seek a new equilibrium.

Narative theory
Narative theory omar atabanyTodorov's equilibrium theory proposes that narratives follow a pattern of disruptions and restorations of equilibrium. According to the theory, a story starts with an initial status quo or balance of power that gets disrupted by an event. This disruption creates disequilibrium and drives the narrative as characters work to restore balance through various attempts. Eventually, the story reaches a final equilibrium that may or may not match the initial one. The theory outlines five stages: 1) initial equilibrium, 2) disruption, 3) recognition of disruption, 4) attempt to repair damage, 5) new or restored equilibrium. Power dynamics shift throughout the plot as the equilibrium changes, keeping audiences engaged until the final resolution.

It discusses how the use of red typography and taglines imply blood and an evil presence. It also examines how the characters are framed using the rule of thirds to show the male figure in a position of power over the female. The setting, depicted through mise en scene and lighting, appears isolated and dark. Iconography presents the male figure as mysterious and the female as vulnerable. Themes of good versus evil, power struggles, and gender roles are also suggested.

As Bauer Media targets a wide range of demographics with its magazines and does not currently have a magazine targeted towards young teenage girls, distributing a new music magazine called POP TEEN that targets 10-16 year old girls would allow Bauer Media to fill this gap. Bauer Media's size and experience would help market POP TEEN to a mass audience.

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC OF THE BLACK CAT BY EDGAR ALLAN POE (1).pdf
THE PSYCHOANALYTIC OF THE BLACK CAT BY EDGAR ALLAN POE (1).pdfnabilahk908Psychoanalytic Analysis of The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe explores the deep psychological dimensions of the narrator’s disturbed mind through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. According to Freud (1923), the human psyche is structured into three components: the Id, which contains primitive and unconscious desires; the Ego, which operates on the reality principle and mediates between the Id and the external world; and the Superego, which reflects internalized moral standards.
In this story, Poe presents a narrator who experiences a psychological breakdown triggered by repressed guilt, aggression, and internal conflict. This analysis focuses not only on the gothic horror elements of the narrative but also on the narrator’s mental instability and emotional repression, demonstrating how the imbalance of these three psychic forces contributes to his downfall.

Ad
Todorov’s narrative theory
- 2. Tzvetan Todorov Todorov suggested that most narratives follow a particular structure. He believed that they began in a state of equilibrium where any potential forces are balanced. Next, this equilibrium is disrupted by some form of event. Followed by a series of events which lead to a resolution. Problems are resolved and a new equilibrium is reached.
- 4. 1. Equilibrium Opening of narrative displays a happy start, characters are content and everything appears to be as it should be. In relation to Disney’s Frozen- Opening ‘Do you want to build a snowman?’ Anna and Elsa appear to be close. Happy start, characters are content.
- 5. 2. Disruption Next, a problem will occur and disrupt the order. In relation to Disney’s Frozen- Disruption occurs when Elsa accidently fires ice spikes at Anna’s coronation.
- 6. 3. Recognition of disruption Characters recognise the disruption during this stage of the plot and is usually followed by a state of chaos. In relation to Disney’s Frozen- The kingdom turns to an ice town during the summer. Anna begins her quest to find Elsa after she runs away.
- 7. 4. Attempt to resolve disruption The characters then attempt to resolve the disruption/issue. In relation to Disney’s Frozen- Anna is sacrificed in an attempt to save Elsa from Hans.
- 8. 5. New equilibrium The ‘ending’ of the plot in which order is restored. In relation to Disney’s Frozen- Summer is restored to the town Anna and Kristoff live happily ever after.
