Narrative Theory:

As we have decided to film a narrative based music video, there are certain codes and conventions we must follow.

Above is a narrative theory pitched by Tristian Todorov who explains that a primary function of a narrative is to solve a problem. Events in a story have a relationship, one event leads to another. This implies the notion of cause and effect, which explains a change in the state of affairs.

Everything begins in a state of equilibrium. This is then disrupted by either a force of some kind or through the actions of an individual and then the narrative progresses to a restoration of equilibrium.

Of course we don't have to follow these conventions, because we are telling the narrative via a short music video with no dialogue we can break the mould, whilst still maintaining a sense of order.
