Initial Ideas: Narrative
  1. Levi Strauss
    1. believes that binary opposites are important in narrative, as they help thicken the plot and further the narrative
      1. Good vs Evil
        1. Girl vs Boy
          1. Crime vs Justice
        2. Andrew Goodwin
          1. believes that in music videos the narrative often links to the lyrics and the tempo of the music
          2. Vladimir Propp
            1. believes that media texts need particular characters to develop the narrative
              1. hero
                1. princess
                  1. villain
                    1. dispatcher
                    2. believes certain parts of a narrative always happen
                      1. hero battles villain
                        1. hero is given quest
                          1. princess is made distress
                        2. Todorov
                          1. believes there are several main stages to complete a narrative, recognisable in any story: -equilibrium -disruption -resolution -equilibrium
                          2. Alan Cameron
                            1. believes there are several types of 'unusual' narrative
                              1. ANACHRONIC NARRATIVE: includes regular flashbacks and flashforwards, with all different narrative parts being just as important
                                1. FORKING PATH NARRATIVE: shows two different consequences that are diverse only as a result of a small change/decision
                                  1. EPISODIC NARRATIVE: separate narratives have some sort of link, e.g. different lives being linked by a particular accident
                                    1. SPLIT SCREEN NARRATIVE: different stories, linked by the fact that they are shown on screen at the same time
                                  2. Unrestricted/Restricted Narration
                                    1. UNRESTRICTED: where information is given out in as much detail as possible with very little restrictions so that the narrative is clear. Audiences often know more than the characters
                                      1. RESTRICTED: where the narrative is kept minimal, with parts unclear. Audiences are often in the dark over a lot of the narrative (used effectively in the thriller genre)
