In this video I look at Tzvetan Todorov's structuralist theory of narratology, in which he outlines the 5 narrates states: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, repair, and new equilibrium.
I use Jurassic Park and Toy Story as two examples of completely different films that both adhere to this theory.
This is a media language theory usually found in any media studies, film studies, culture studies or creative media qualification

Thank you so much for this video! I wanted to do a paper on the movie Parasite, but I was struggling to find theories to structure my paper on and your explanations really help me to get started

[@Sbeth85]

Fantastic explanation! I've gone through 10 videos looking for this info. You've explained it so succinctly. Love the chart. Thanks.

You are most welcome

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

The fact you can say "without being eaten by dinosaurs" with such a straight face amazes me.

[@Guru-om6lv]

Good job

[@LeeTESFM14]

Great video sir

[@mireillelebeau2513]

How about Propp's structural theory of tales? Would you consider doing a video on this subject?

[@kevinmurphy65]

Yes, please. That would be awesome.

[@Ab-wx1jr]

This channel deserves a million subscribers

[@TheMediaInsider]

Couldn't agree more

[@Gimdxtr]

Yes

[@tehseenishfaq6267]

Please describe narrative structure by using common syntactic concepts that todorov describe in his Theory

[@elmascarilla4880]

And..., a question: cannot be the five stages nested? Or it is supposed to appear in an atomic sequence?

[@matthewmoore6866]

Could this also be seen as a form of indirect Intertextuality. Although the movies are referencing one another. They are contracted through the same narrative structure? Good videos btw

[@samarnold3436]

Very epic! Thank you!

[@TheMediaInsider]

Cheers, Sam! My latest video is way more epic

[@irinannapaul]

[@ladiesman218]

If they telling a story then I don't see why not.

[@frogmen9834]

Great sir ❤

[@TheMediaInsider]

Thanks!

[@lilac231070]

again thank you for explaining, am a lecturer from indonesia

[@chriscockrell9495]

Narrative is how a story is told. Interesting. I typically just say it is a story. Beginning, Middle, End (3 acts structure). Equilibrium. Disruption (change). Recognition. Repair. New Equilibrium.
Linear. Chronological.

GAMER. THANKS

[@eniaccomputers2908]

most producers only care about box office. directors/scriptwriters are the ones with the 'ideals'. Love the video and channel otherwise

[@TheMediaInsider]

Thanks for saying! And I agree with you - I'll be looking at Auteur theory soon which really demonstrates what you're saying

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

"Debalance" hmmm, unbalance.

[@AGODUKA]

Why does this sound like Dramatism?

[@oscarhawkins8829]
