Following Todorovs theory, I was able to construct a
suitable pitch for my film opening. The beginning of the pitch is the genre, in
which I have decided mine to be a romantic comedy, as this is my favorite
movie genre; I think other girls in my age range also enjoy romantic comedies.
Constructing my linear structure using Todorovs theory, I was
able to create an equilibrium and disequilibrium story line to help me when
constructing the structure of my film.
Equilibrium- My equilibrium begins with a long shot, which
pans out onto the main character of the movie. This is where we are first
introduced to her. She is looking at herself in the mirror, trying to make
herself look pretty. She is also dressed in a school uniform. This helps the
audience identify the characters age range, and helps us understand where the
film may be heading.
Disequilibrium- The disequilibrium interrupts the
equilibrium as she discovers she is running late for school. This suggests to
the audience that her character may be a quite ditsy and forgetful, bringing in
the comical side to her character. Throughout the film we discover the
character is a clever and quirky, yet she fails to be noticed by her crush. As
we connect with the characters we discover that her crush may also have
feelings for her too.
Equilibrium- The film finishes with the two characters
confessing the emotions for one another. The film ends on a happy note with the
two characters going on a date, whilst the high school popular girl bullies are
left in shock.
