Bordwell & Thompson - Story and Plot
Bordwell and Thompson's theory was heavily based on the Russian Film Theory, which distinguished a difference between story and plot. The story, also known as the 'fabula' are all the events in the narrative which we see and infer whereas the 'Syuzhet' or plot is everything that is visible and audibly present before us. The 'Story and Plot' theory states that the difference between story and plot relates to the diegetic world of the narrative and what we, as the audience, are positioned to see.
Sven Carlson - 3 Areas of Narrative Structure
Sven Carlson suggests that music videos can fall into two rough categories: performance and conceptual.
Performance clips can be broken down into three different types, song performance, instrumental performance or a combination of both. Conceptual clips show something else, often with artistic ambitions.
Tim O'Sullivan - Culture and Society
Tim O'Sullivan argues that media texts all tell us some kind of story about ourselves as a culture or set of cultures. This narrative theory demonstrates how we understand a particular set of constructions and conventions and how they are put together.
Todorov - Narrative Structure
Tzvetan Todorov's equilibrium theory identifies five stages of narrative structure
Stage 1: A point of stable equilibrium. Everything is calm and normal.
Stage 2: This state of equilibrium is disrupted by some kind of force
Stage 3: Recognition of the disruption which has taken place
Stage 4: Attempt to re-create equilibrium through action against the disruption or force
Stage 5: A new state equilibrium is restored and established due to the consequences of the reaction
Pam Cook - Narrative Development
Pam Cook identified a structure of the classic narrative system, which should have linearity of cause and effect, a high degree of narrative closure and a fictional world containing verisimilitude.
