b) Narrative:
According to Todorov, there are five stages the narrative process can go through:
- A state of equilibrium (all is as it should be)
- A disruption of that order by an event
- A recognition that the disorder has occurred
- An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption
A return or restoration of a NEW equilibrium
In our opening sequence, we our state of equilibrium would be the boy and girl in a happy relationship For example, after the party scene he may ask her out and they go on a couple of dates, nothing disastrous has happened yet, and it is all as it should be.
However, a disruption may occur later, for example something may happen which causes their relationship to fall apart and result in a breakdown, such as they may have had an argument.
After a while being apart, the girl and the may realise that by breaking up they miss each other and the memories they share. They may start to think about each other and struggle with this breakdown.
Therefore, they may attempt to repair the damage of the disruption such as the boy/ girl may apologise for what they had done, try to talk about their problems and fix this problem. Therefore, they are back to this 'happy' stage of being together, and we return to the new equilibrium.

Why did we decide to call our movie title 'Snakes and Ladders?'
The reason for this is because as part of our narrative story, we wanted to illustrate in the rest of our film two young teenagers going through ups and downs in their relationship. For example, after their party they may start going to more dates, and thus this is like them climbing up the ladder, progressing in their relationship. However, at other times, they may argue or experience hard times, and fall down the snake. I think this is very realistic and things everyone may go through at some point of their life, so our narrative is easy to follow, and teenagers and even adults can relate to this.
