Narrative

This clip is from the first Godfather which was made in 1972. In this clip, I believe that the main protagonist, who was sitting down with the cat, can have many different types of roles from just looking at this scene. At the beginning, he looked more like a hero because one of the other people that was in that room, whispered in his ear that 'he wanted someone dead' but the main protagonist refused to do that, which is why he looked like the good person in the film. However, as the scene went on, he sounded more like a villain because he would've helped him, if he that dispatcher had been more of a friend to the main protagonist. but at the end of the scene, he looked like he would've considered helping him which does make him look like a villain and a powerful person.

The action code to this clip is whether or not, the main protagonist is going to help the dispatcher and help kill the person or do something that that person?

Todorov's theory of disequilibrium can be used in this clip as the dispatcher cannot do his own task by himself, so he needs help from Don (main protagonist). Therefore, the new equilibrium is that he can overcome this problem by having that small probability of the main protagonist helping him.

This is a recent clip from a soap that comes on BBC One by the name of EastEnders. In this clip, it is about the main protagonist being by himself in his own garage and is approached by this old man and these two intimidating men. This video looks quite straight forward as the three people on the left hand side are the villains and the man on the right is almost as a princess. I think that the people on the left are the villains because the camera shot of when the people entered the garage, it didn't show their faces; It just showed their legs and one of their hands closing the door. This suggests that they do not want to show their face to the audience as they want to build up the suspense of who it may be and they did - they were people who looked like they were going to hurt the main protagonist. 

The enigma code to this is what will happen to the main protagonist because in this episode, it just stopped at this part and didn't show what they did. This could also be the action code; Are they going to beat this main character up with the tools (props) that are in the garage.

Todorov's theory of disequilibrium can be used in this clip too, as the main protagonist needs help because the odds of him escaping or even winning the fight is highly unlikely. Also, there is no new equilibrium in this clip as there ending of this clip was left on a cliffhanger. 

This clip is from James Bond, 007 Quantum of Solace in 2008. As you can see, the main protagonist (007) is trying to chase the villain because of something that he may have done and 007  who is the spy is trying to do his duty. James Bond, who is the main protagonist of this film, has many different types of roles in this movie, as he can be the hero since he is trying to capture the people in wrong and he can also be the helper as he is working under a secret spy company.

The action code of this clip is the gun as it senses violence and could lead to someone being injured or even dying. Also, the enigma code of this clip is what has happened to the person who got shot at the end.

The disequilibrium of this clip is when the main protagonist was in the massive truck and didn't have access to the gun and shooting the villain and could've lead to him getting shot. The new equilibrium is that he used his initiative and went under this building which could've lead to him capturing him.
