Narrative analysis

Narrative: described as a sequence of events or a store.

there is always a narrative in a film/movie or any production this is because without a narrative there will be no story line.

In every movie genre, Todorov's equilebrium theory is obeyed on order for the movie to be seen as interesting. 
If this is not obeyed, the shots and the storyline would seem slow and boring and there will be no intensity to the overall atmosphere

The Todorov equilibrium theory is basic and easy to understand. 
there is always a new equilibrium created. 
the first equilibrium is seen as everything being peaceful and no disruptions 
then all of a sudden there is a chaotic action. 
When everything is Peaceful again and a solution is found(usually at the end) there is a new equilibrium created.

Batman 

Opening shot shows the equilibrum in the scene. This shot is seen as peaceful and an establishing shot meaning that this is the original equilibrium. 





This is the chaotic action which is the disequilibrium. everything is disrupted because the joker is causing a chaotic scene. 





This is the new equilibrium formed. The Joker has been caught by batman which bring us back to the peaceful atmosphere. 

For our Film opening,  we will discuss as a group if we should follow the equilibrium theory because we believe that without the pathway of this theory. The opening would  not look very interesting especially in the action genre. 
Following the equilibrium theory will give more of a dynamic affect and will attract viewers through the storyline.
