Narrative

Our narrative is non linear because we have a flash back at the beginning which allows the audience to see what happened in the past so they can understand the storyline. We have done this to create confusion and build upon the mystery within our genre. The flashback will be indicating through the use of editing, changing the saturation on the image so it is obvious the event occurred in a different time period. The film will be non linear as the flashback will change narrative structure, this will make our opening sequence more interesting as the audience are witnessing tow different time periods and events in a short amount of time

Regarding Todorov's  theory on narrative we have decided to go against this, meaning our film doesn't start off with the equilibrium we start of with the disruption of the equilibrium which is the flashback. The resolution of the disruption is shown in the rest of the film. We have decided to do this so that our film doesn't follow the common narrative of a thriller, therefore making it unique and different to other films of this genre, appealing to a mass audience.
