Todorovs Theory
Equilibrium > Disruption > New equilibrium. I initially used this simple structure to develop a simplified idea of my narrative structure and plot.
Equilibrium - All this is not shown in the narrative other than in some possible flashbacks and wen our main protagonist hints towards his previously uneventful life, i.e "I'm just a normal person! This shouldn't be happening"
Disruption - This is where the narrative will start. The production will begin with the protagonist giving a witness statement to the police about the murder he witnessed. However, due to the evidence given; the killer begins to target our main protagonist.
New Equilibrium - The twist is revealed. One of the police officers at the station is the killer, this police officer is also in charge of security so can get away with most things. The police officers kills our main protagonist and covers up the murder. He will never be caught.
Although this narrative structure is efficient, we decided to use the more developed, 'Classic Narrative Structure' created by McKee. This added new depth would allow us to understand our production more as a whole, resulting in a opening sequence with more foreshadowing and red herrings.
