Media Theories That Fit My Filmmm

Todorov’s Narrative Theory of Equilibrium perfectly applies to my film opening, as it follows the three key stages of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. Many coming-of-age films follow this theory like Boyhood and Eighth Grade.

- Equilibrium: The main character returns home from a special event, thinking the night is over.

- Disequilibrium: She walks into a surprise party and feels overwhelmed. She reminisces about her past, friendships, and the reality of leaving for college and she struggles with the emotions of change.

- New Equilibrium: Instead of staying overwhelmed, she chooses to call her friend and go out for one last time before leaving for college.

This theory really helps tie the story together and makes the character’s journey feel real.
