Looking at Theories And Comparing Them To Our 2 Minute Opening Thriller

* Todorov

Did A.M.U.H Productions use this thoery?

- No we did not.
- Why?
- Todorov's theory is based around three main sections which are Equilibrium, Disequilibrium and Solution.

Looking at the Equilibrium it showed we didn't have one, as audience could not pick up something bad was going to happen, looking at the music it also did not help as it showed no sense of bad vibes.

In the end we did have a Disequilibrium as our main character shows up to see his enemy from the past who he was betrayed by.

Solution comes through the whole move ending and seeing the next scene.

As we did not have all three aspects of the Todorovs theory it was clear we could not say we had used it in our 2 minute opening of a thriller, but in-all got a great concept still from using a range of shots and music and dialogue.


* Propps Thoery

Did A.M.U.H Productions use this thoery?

- No we did not
- Why?
- Propps theory was that there should be at least 8 main characters in a movie.

As we only had to make a 2 minute opening thriller, our video did not need to contain many characters, we thought if it did it would become to confusing. Looking at many thriller movies today, you can see that there are not many characters and mostly just contain a antagonist, protagonist, maybe a right hand man,a heroin and maybe 1 extra main character. So looking at our movie from a wider point of view we thought we would keep it simple. As we did not make the whole film we could not decide on how many more characters we would introduce.
