Narrative

There are many different ideas and approaches to what a narrative is within a trailer, however every trailer follows some type of narrative. When looking at the trailer my group and I made over the summer, it is evident to me that Todrov’s theory can be applied. According to Todrov there are three stages which occur within a narrative: the equilibrium, the disequilibrium and the resolution. However the purpose of a trailer is to create enigma and for this reason the resolution is not shown. Furthermore, the trailer does not go into too much detail with things like the characters, therefore the equilibrium does not usually feature.

They are therefore being punished for being young. Within the film the two female characters represent two different types of women, the blonde slut and the virgin. The film suggests that being promiscuous is wrong, hence why the blonde slut dies first, and therefore being pure is good and why the virgin survives. In the film, if the virgin dies at all, she has to be the last to die. Th
