Narrative idea 2; Toderov's theory

A state of equilibrium; 
A shot of a house which we expect is a family home, the shot travels across the windows and door then to a long shot of the whole house.

A disruption; 
A teen girl gets kicked out of her house by her mother which is the opening scene of her slamming out of the door. Also another scene is shown of a male character strangling a women to death.

A recognition of a disruption;
The next scene is of her sitting crying in a dark alley way which makes the audience realise there is a problem in her life. This is from the male characters point of view as he is walking up to her, he asks if she wants to go for a drink and as she is vulnerable and wants help and company so she accepts.

An attempt to repair the damage;

They have a drink and chat then he offers for her to stay as his for the night and with him until she can find other family or friends to stay with. The audience are un sure if he is the male from the earlier shot as it was not completely clear what he looked like, they will start to think this character will look after the girl.


The girl starts to realise the man is acting strangely and that he is a psycho. He chases through street into the woods trying to get to her. This is all from the male characters point of view.

He gets hold of her at one point but she fights her way out and carries on running.

A reinstatement of the equilibrium;
The man starts shouting that the girl left her bag at the bar, she stops and realises he is a normal guy and they end up falling in love.

This is clearly not a narrative i would choose to create as it is not interesting or good. I have changed it to this to fit in to Toderovs theory.
