Tzvetan Todorov

Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all narratives follow a three part structure where they begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.

This is a generalised narrative structure, entirely applicable to my short-film, I shall bear it in mind as I begin brainstorming and writing. I intend on centring my film around three men, who find themselves plagued by an issue. Perhaps this will take the form of a stolen object/dead body. 

My plan is to establish the characters; introduce the issue; present a solution.
