Narrative Theory

We have use verisimilitude to create a real world for the story in our trailer. The use of naturalistic props and clothing in a location which you are expected to see all of these things is how we created a naturalistic storyline for the audience to follow. Because the audience  don’t know how the story ends from watching the trailer it has not got a closed narrative structure. Our trailer does not show any evidence of a multi stran structure.  Roland barthes has 5 narrative codes, from these our trailer includes Enigma, the audience has to figure out what is going on inside the mine. Action, you see action shots of the actors on bikes performing tricks and entering the cage. Those are the only codes that we really use. From Todorov’s theorythe audience doesn’t see much of his structural idea from the trailer but the film itself would go on to meet this structure of equilibrium and disequilibrium.
