Narrative Theory suggests that most films follow a simple rule. Each film is spilt into 5 parts:
- Equilibrium
- Disruption
- Period of disequilibrium
- Resolution
- Restoration of equilibrium
However you may find that film noir rarely restores the equilibrium and merely finds a new one. The state of resolution is rarely one that is wanted by the characters.
Hi Luke, can you explain how this theory is evident in one of the films that you have watched briefly? Also, will you follow this theory in your film?
ReplyDeleteThat was from Miss Blomiley by the way! :)
