Research and Planning - understanding and applying Narrative Codes and Theories to my own work

Tuesday 17th November: cover work
P2-part 1 .   please complete a  brief outline of your story. Then you will be generating and refining your ideas for storyline and for plot still further 

P2&3 - you will be constructing Narratives and exploring how to add stretch, challenge and sophistication to initial ideas. This will add more complexity to your work. .improve your mark and ensure the best outcome and grade.  Read the second powerpoint below which outlines different narrative theories. . Present 5 different versions of your narratives each fulfilling the 'rules' of one of the different narrative theories. E.g. you could do Propp, Barthes Enigma AND Action code, Todorov  and finally Cameron's episodic structure.  It is okay to present in different methods.  Eg mind map.  Flow diagram.  paragraph..... . FINALLY make a table to show 5 film examples for each of the Narrative theories.  
Homework - complete and upload by Thursday this week - catch up all missing work
