This shot shows many narrative theories. First, character theory can be applied. Olive is the hero and she is proving this by explaining her story ignorer to rebalance the equilibrium. Speaking of equilibrium, we can already see the narrative. The sign Olive is holding reveals that the narrative is going to revolve around a rumour of her losing her virgininty and her quest to put the rumour to rest. A very clear binary opposite is shown here. Lie Vs Truth. Olive is trying to battle a lie with the truth and this is what drives the narrative. Finally, enigma codes is show every clearly here. From this shot, the audience may be wondering "why is it a false account" "why is she talking directly to us?". Lastly, the action code is Olive starting her story by holding up signs to explain. Because Olive is holding up signs that don't explain what happened and why, she is forced to explain how it happened and why. This is what drives the narrative and it keeps the story moving.Stand By Me:
Stand By Me Narrative by charlotte Bancroft
This shot isn't so relative to narrative. It doesn't show any character types, equilibrium or binary opposites. However, this shot has a action code. The news paper article is what starts the story. It reminds the man of something and so he decides to tell him story. This shot also has an enigma code. It has the audience thinking "Is this relative to the story?" and "why is this being shown?"
This scene shows a man in his car. By using Prop's character types I am going to assume he is a main protagonist and the hero. So far there is no hint to equilibrium theory and there are no binary opposites. I also cannot pick out any action codes. However, this scene's enigma code is the man in the car. it will cause people to think "who is this man and why is he sat in a car in the middle of nowhere?"
What have I learnt?
From this I have learnt that the narrative is usually shown in small doses at the start of the film. I have also learnt that if there are any action or enigma codes, they are placed at the start of the film so the audience is able to theorise why something may have happened. Then usually near the end of the film, their question is answered and they are able to see if their theory was correct.
