Todorov's Narrative Theory:
Franco-Bulgarian philosopher, Todorov, studied fairy-tales and established this theory about the stages a story goes through in a typical narrative:
1. Equilibrium - A State of normality
2. Disruption - An event that disrupts the normality
3. Recognition - The hero recognises the disruption
4. Complications - The hero meets problems in trying to restore the equilibrium
5. New Equilibrium - The hero restores a new state of normality
This influenced our trailer, as at the start there is a sense of normality when we see the couple in love. However, the introduction of the brother provides the disruption, and the break-down sequence shows both that the protagonist has recognised this disruption and also provides the complications. However, of course, being a trailer, we did not include the end state, as we wanted to keep the audience interested and intrigued to find out what happens.
