This is our first film practice. this was to get us the idea of the Narrative theory and apply the Vladmir Propp, Todorov and Levi Strauss Ideas into film practice. We planned the narrative around these ideas by Including Propps Character Archetypes and Todorovs narrative structure. It also taught us how to use the imovie software. It is of a linear-Narrative which means it isnt jumping in time and each part follows one after the other.
We did not manage to use all of Propps character archetypes (Such as The Hero, The Helper, The Doner, The Villain/Princess' Father, The Princess..etc) because we only had two people working on the film. We were able to mix up the characters however and have the Doner and Villain as one character which gave a twist on the normal narrative structure and also included the villain.
We used Todorovs theory by having an equilibrium at the beginning, then a Dis-Equilibrium, then a new equilibrium but also mixed up the normal structure again by having it end on a Narrative Enigma (unexplained narrative).
After this production I learnt a lot. I learnt how to use the camera and also how to adapt to problems you may occur. It also gave me the knowledge of using Imovie 06 which is what we will be using in our main production.
After uploading this video onto social network Facebook we got a lot of feedback from people of our Target Audience feedback. A lot of them like the editing with the music and also took the over exaggeration of some parts well and understood the effect we were trying to give off.
Negative feedback from this film would have been the acting and also the way we created some shots as all we used was a camera an no other equipment to help support it.
