Key theory 2 Narratology -Tzvetan todorov

Narratives: 
plot and story are for the most part meaningless concepts, we often see the same basic plots being repeated over and over. what is fundamentally interesting in the study of media is not "what" the plot is but "how" it is constructed. so narrative isn't just" the story", its "the way in which a story is told" and story's are nit told through dialogue, they're told through costume, mise-en-scene, colour, ideology, editing, music, gestures and graphics.
Christopher Booker- the seven types of story:

  • overcoming the monster
  • rags to riches
  • the quest
  • voyage and return 
  • comedy
  • tragedy
  • rebirth
Key theory 2- Narratology, Tzvetan Todorov
-establishment of equilibrium
-disruption of equilibrium (the liminal period)
-partial restoration of equilibrium

A linear narrative is one that follows a line from the beginning to the end. whereas a non linear narrative is one that doesnt follow a line from beginning to end, it goes back and fourth not chronologically.

Audience:

  • fantasy
  • relatability
  • resolution= satisfaction -ok, security, hope
