Friday 20 January 2012

Story Arc- point 18 and 19

  • All the family (mum,dad,baby,sister and twin brothers) are argueing and dont get along at the start of the film
  • The children all go to school and are glad to be away from their family. The pretend they dont know each other at school as the are in different friendship groups. The girl is a slut and the twins are badd asses ;)
  • The twins are messing around doing comical things really high and they accidently set fire to the school with there joint, but they just find it funny cause there so high.
  • Meanwhile the girl is in a cupboard with a guy and they smell smoke but luckily they escape, but she goes mental at the twins for nearly killing her.
  • The Mum and baby win a free holiday all inclusive for a week for all of family in Benidorm. Whilst the mum is working in the supper market. 
  • She announces it to the family that night tell but no one wants to go because they don't like each other, but then decide to go because the flight leaves the next day and parents know rent is due and they do not have the money.
  • During the holiday the family get along really well together, have a great time and become close. Things happen during the holiday to make it comical.
  • When they get back they see that the land lord has put an evicted letter on the door. If they don't pay money by the end of the week they will be kicked out.
  • Family starts to argue again cause the kids are upset that the parents didn't tell them, but they all pull together to help raise the money by getting jobs. 
  • On the last day when the money is due they still do not have enough. But foruntaley the mum mum buys a scratch card they win £1000000, and they get the rent payed.
The End.

This is an example of Todorovs theory as we have the typical narrative structure, of everything getting good in the middle, and then it goes wrong towards the end, but it finished with a happy ending.
We also have elements of Propps theory, when the girl is in the fire she is a damsel in distress, the twins are the villians and the firemen are the heroes.
There are binary opposites including rich to poor, all getting along really well and hating each other, and funny to serious and dramatic, which is Strauss's theory,
