60 second bunny task

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzvetan_Todorov - this is a link to the Wikipedia page of 'Tzvetan Todorov'. he is a Bulgarian theorist responsible for 'Todorov's narrative theory'. He said that each film has a set pattern and follows in five stages; the film begins with an equilibrium (a sense of normality for the characters), the disruption, and set out to repair it (by solving the problem that normality then gets disrupted, the characters then recognise), in this section their will be lots of smaller disruptions, this may cause disagreements  as to what the major disruption is, it is what initially the characters are trying to repair; finally, a new equilibrium is put into place.


Vladmir prop was a Russian theorist who came up with a narrative based theory on character types and functions. He originally applied this theory to fairytales but it is now applied to all narratives. Propp said that narratives tend to have all or most of the following character types; hero, villain, heroes helper, donor, dispatcher, false hero, princess and father. The princess is not necessarily a princess,it is in basic terms the heroes reward and the father traditionally in fairytales would be the princess' father, in other narratives in would simply be the princess' protector.
