Narrative


This is the explanation of narrative in our own words. We also played with Todorov's theory of narrative and changed the story of Cinderella to make it a thriller. This allowed us to use what we knew already and think about what elements make a thriller. We took the story of Cinderella and adapted it, breaking Todorov's theory and planned a rough storyboard for the opening shots of it. They are explained in the clip above. We could work on our presentation skills as it wasn't planned out very well and the microphone was covered at times, preventing our voices from being heard clearly. I think we could have used more depth in explanation, terminology and included other theories by Propp and Barthes. Our story board opening was heavily inspired by the trailer of 'Snow White and the Huntsman', with the lighting in the first couple of shots.
