Narrative Theory

 

1) Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit - Disequilibrium is established once rabbits are eating all the vegetables before the competition; it gets worse and worse until eventually a new equilibrium is established after the movie's climax

3) Three examples of "hero" characters:
- Eleven
- Tony Stark
- Sonic
(i know all 3 are random choices lol)

4) Good vs Evil

5) The winner often represents dominant ideas and values of our society. E.g. when a policeman captures a criminal, the ideology of law and order is established.

6) Problem and complications create enigma codes. Naturally, the audience is curious as to what actions will be taken and how the problem will be resolved.

7) Episodic narrative: The narrative arc/story is usually resolved at the end of each episode.
Overarching narrative: The narrative arc/story is continued throughout a few episodes. Individual episodes do not solve the narrative arc immediately.
Mixed narrative: A mixture of both episodic and overarching. A series that does this either solves its narrative arc during the episode, or over the course of a few episodes.
Multi-strand overlapping narrative: They have a continuous narrative and it can tell a number of different stories at the same time. There is no definite end/resolution.

8) Adverts set up the problem and then show you the solution immediately to create a swift resolution to the short narrative.
