Narrative analysis


In class we have been studing media theorists and theorys. For example Tzvetan Todorov. Todorov reinforces Aristle's original theory that everthing has to have a begining, a middle and an end. But in more detail.

This is a diagram of Tordov theory which I found whilst reserching on the internet. This shows and explains narrative.

We also looked at how Bordwell and Thompson in 1991 defined comman media terms.

"Plot- What we can see on screen. Includes extra narrative things
Story- All that we know about the narrative including seen and unseen
Diegesis- The total world of the story
Parallelism- Parrallel development of mul;tiple nstorylines
Cause and effect- causes can come formk a character" 




Thease are links to Aristotles and Todorov wikipidia page.
