Todorov's Narrative Structure

Todorov's Narrative Structure

Here is the narrative structure om which my group's title sequence will follow. This theory was created by Tzvetan Todorov.

Equilibrium - This is where Jack, the protagonist, is at school, his mum is a single mum, they are not well off and Jack has an interest in football but he is unable to fully pursue his dream of being a professional footballer due to the fact he doesn't have good football boots and has no encouragements. His P.E teacher acts like a father figure to him and encourages him to keep on following his dreams. He has a contact who is a scout for Tottenham Hotspur and organises a trial for Jack. After this, Jack gets signed for Tottenham and has the ability to buy nice football boots.

Disruption - Jack starts to let the fame get to his head and some of his friends start to lose patience with him.

Disequilibrium - Jack has asthma and this is a big deal for him because it is the only factor that would stop him from signing a professional contract. He tries everything to stop using it and having an impact on his game.

Attempt to restore equilibrium - Jack doesn't use the asthma and over comes this illness. It doesn't have an impact on his game anymore.

New equilibrium - Jack plays with comfort and becomes a star player for Tottenham.
