Film development: Narrative Theory for the rest of the film

MONISHA CHOWDHURY

For the rest of the film, we decided to use the 'Todorov' narrative theory. This is when the story of the film begins with an equilibrium. Where all characters are balanced and equal. Something in the middle of the story will happen which will dictate the rest of the story. In this case, the intake of the magic mushrooms will have a different effect on each character, some positive, some negative. The 'Todorov' theory states that the story should solve the problems by the end of the film and return to an equilibrium, however, we have decided to leave it on a cliffhanger. This will create suspense within the audience. It will let the audience try and figure out what happened in the end.
