Why are you doing this?:In your evaluation you will have to show how you have structured your narrative and how media theorists have impacted on your construction.
There are a number of theorists who write about Narrative structure.Find out what the following media theorists say and make a record (in your own words) showing your understanding and how you could use this theory with planning your own film.Tzvetan TodorovVladimir ProppClaude Levi-StraussRoland Barthes
