How are we applying the Theories of Todorov

EQUILIBRIUM

To be Balance

DISEQUILIBRIUM

To be Unbalanced

NEW EQUILIBRIUM

New Balanced

Girl goes to school to studyNormal teenager life. Good relationship with Family.

Eating disorder, when friends looks down to her, looks at models pictures in magazine and feel fat

The reason why we are not including New balanced its because the girl doesn't’t find a way to became balanced again during the opening sequence .

Only at the end of the film… when she becomes a model.

How are we applying the Theories of Prop

• Flashback - A scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point the story has reached

• - There is not any flashback in our opening sequence, because the action doesn’t need to be seen back in time, we don’t want to give too much information for the viewers to make sure it builds enigma. (find out why she is has this disorder, how it started )

Part O

Andreea Cristea

Flash-forward -scene that takes the narrative forward in time from the current point of the story in media or literature.

There is not flash forward in our opening sequence, because the story line is happening in the present and we don't want to give away what will it happen in the future with her

• Day or night

Theories of Strauss in our opening sequence

Sad or HappyDepressed or confident

Melane’s character is mostly negative, because she is sad, confused, depressed

Aurora’s character is the opposite of Melane, she is confident, happy, always positive.

Part P

Age: We are targeting an audience aged 15 – 30. This is because young audience will not understand very well the cause of Bulimia & Anorexia Nervosa. It would be disturbed by the themes running thought-out and be offended by appearance of the body. Also because the eating disorder happens between this ages.

90 % Happens with FemaleAlso can be target at Males
