Todorov's Narrative Structure

 Todorov's Narrative Structure


Here is the narrative structure in 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 encouragement. His PE 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 and trial for Jack. Jack then gets signed by 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 gets injured playing for Tottenham and the person who injured him was one of his bullies from Secondary School. Jack breaks his ankle and is out for a lengthy amount of time, whilst he is recovering a friend of his visits him a lot and they get closer.
  • Attempt to restore Equilibrium - Jack is recovering from his injury and is striving to hit the form he once hit. His aim is to return for the cup final. His girlfriend says to him that she doesn't want him to behave like he did before.
  • New Equilibrium - Jack returns for the cup final, against the team in which he broke his ankle against. Jack scores the winning goal.
