NarrativeKaya

Our film is closed narrative, Why?

• Our film is like reading a book, it goes to a start to an end – the film doesn't have a cliff hanger, just a solid ending where the story of Laura’s life ends

• The film doesn't leave the audience asking questions, it leave the audience with the statement that drugs will end up killing you and you should never try them

How has it changed since Draft 1?

• In our first draft because we has a completely different story it has changed from the film ending in a cliff hanger being a open narrative, to a closed narrative sending out a message for the end of the film because before we wanted the audience to question what happens in the film and create their own ending according to what they saw.

P

NarrativeKaya

Our film is linear narrative, Why?

• Our film is a story that goes from start, middle, to end to tell the story of Laura’s drug use.

• Although there are flashbacks, they are only very short and not the main basis of our story

START MIDDLE END

How has this changed since draft 1?

• Although the story is different from draft1, we have always kept a linear narrative as we want to make a film that tells a story from start middle to the end because we think its more understandable and a better way of presenting a story effectively

Kaya & Sanel Film Theory

Equlibrium – Before Laura tried the drug, she was doing well at school and had a promising ‘ . future ahead of her and everything in her life was where it should be

Disequilibrium – As soon as she was introduced to the drug her life just went downwards at . a rhythm that just went worse and worse, until she eventually dies.

New Equilibrium – There is no new equilibrium as our film ends horrible with Laura dying in . A bad state with no friends, or anyone to help or support her in her time . of need

Tzvetan Todorov – Narrative Film Theorist

How we will be using his theory…

Kaya Film Theory

Vladimir Propp – Film Theorist

Why we wont be using his theory…

The villain – No-one in our film intentionally tries to hurt or ruin anybodyThe dispatcher – This doesn't apply to our film at all, there is no hero to send offThe (magical) helper – No-one in the film does, or even try help Laura in her struggleThe princess or prize – There is no prize and its based on real lifeHer father – She doesn't have a father, it’s a broken familyThe donor – The film is based on real life therefore no magical objectsThe hero or victim/seeker hero – There is no heroFalse hero – There is no hero therefore no false hero

Kaya Film Theory

Claude Lévi-Strauss - Narrative Film Theorist

Binary oppositionHow we will be using this theory

Good life : Bad life

Laura’s life in the beginning was good and promising

Until she started using LSD which suddenly ruined her life

Real life : Fantasy Good trip : Bad trip

We see Laura’s life throughout the whole film the way anyone around her would

However we also see her point of view of the characters and sounds she doesn't in her hallucinations which aren't really there

The first time Laura tires the drug she has a good trip and has fun

But then she has a bad trip that makes her feel confused and frightened
