After studying Todorovs Theory;
Todorov proposed a basic structure for all narratives. He stated that films and programmes begin with an equilibrium, a calm period. Then agents of disruption cause disequilibrium, a period of unsettlement and disquiet. This is then followed by a renewed state of peace and harmony for the protagonists and a new equilibrium brings the chaos to an end. The simplest form of narrative (sometimes referred to as ‘Classic’ or ‘Hollywood’ narrative).
We decided our opening sequence would begin with the disequilibrium to help create confusion and add to the enigma.
We aim to introduce the protagonist and the antagonist in our opening sequence but perhaps not fully as we may not want to reveal the full identity of our characters to keep the audiences attention. Our opening sequence will most probably set the scene and mood for the entirety of the film.
Our opening sequence of a thriller film will be themed around a sub-genre of a psychological thriller.
