How does London to Brighton conforms to Todorov’s theory

Todorov‘s theory is represented through the storyline of the characters, which follow’s the structure of Todorov’s theory, for instance Kelly lived off her ordinary life as a prostitute but (equilibrium) was disrupted by Derek, who ordered her to scout for a child (disequilibrium). She then changes her mind and decide to help Joanne from Duncan but has committed murder, this is when they planned to escape from London to Brighton (attempt to repair). And finally, Kelly returns to her life on the streets. (new equilibrium), this conforms to the theory because it has demonstrated all stages of the theory.

Todorov’s theory, is also represented through the closing because everything is resolved, for example Stewart, who was chasing after our main characters, finally got his revenge by sacrificing Derek and his sidekick and Kelly/Joanne is finally freed from being chased for their crimes. This is an example of a close ending, which conforms to Todorov’s theory.

Cinematography:

The representation of disability is represented through cinematography, for example we immediately see a close up shot of Ben in the first scene instead of David, this signifies that he is more important than David in the story. This conforms to the conventions of a able character because they are often represented as being more dominant then disabled people at the same time this conforms to the conventions of a able person because in most drama's all the main characters are always able people.

The representation of disability is also represented, through cinematography, for example the camera pans around Ben, this signifies that he is dominant. This is because we are focusing on Ben in all perspective of him, which conforms to the conventions of a able character because a able character is often represented as being more important because in the actual society most people that are able provides service for the society.

Editing:

The representation of disability is represented through the editing, for instance when we denote a eye line match of Ben looking at David, which signifies that he is in control. This conforms to the conventions of a able character because we as a audience are following what he is seeing, which signifies his importance in the story.

The film we have created had included the three main shots including the shot reverse shot, when I have entered the room and having a conversation with Kimisha and that we have included the match on action when I opened the door (View from the inside and the out side). Part of the 180 degree rule was also used in the conversation scene.
