Todorov's 5 stages

Equilibrium 
Six rich school friends play football in a park that is directly next to a cemetery. Everyone is happy as they have all just broke up for the half-term and are talking about where they are going on holiday. Just five minutes after playing there football gam, Rory has a shot on goal which completely misses there make shift goal of two school blazers and flys across the cemetery fence into the cemetery. As the time was ten to nine and they had to be back at nine o'clock, three out of the five decided not to get the ball. Therefore leaving Rory and Matt to as the thought to quickly collect the ball. 

Recognition
As they got closer to the big iron gates a scream came from near a big oak tree that was directly in the middle of the cemetery. This made Rory and Matt even more determined to get through the small gap at the bottom of the wooden fence ether side of the gate that surrounded the whole of the cemetery. Just twenty metres from the fence where they got in, a dark shadow could be seen to more to the other entrance on the right hand side of the cemetery. 

Disequilibrium 
As the ball was near the tree the two school boys went even closer to the wear the dark figure ran away from a men, aged around thirty left on the floor with blood pouring out of her chest and lower face. 

Repair
She screamed "help" and by following her orders the boys ran without there ball, towards the gate of which the attacker left. Then as they was getting closer they could see a tall white male with a knife covered in blood stranded under a street light, under the entrance sign to the cemetery saying, "welcome." Immediately after seeing this Rory picked up a short thick metal pole off the floor, that could have been left there years ago. As Matt was a lot quicker and stronger, Rory gave the blunt metal object to Matt. Matt then sprinted at the 6ft man but being as quiet as he could because the attackers back was turned to him. Then with two metres between the Matt and the attacker, Matt jumped and with one swing of the pole, he hit the man on the back of the head. Which then made the attacker to drop to the floor and releasing the knife of which lands about a metre of where he fell. 

New equilibrium
As the police station was twenty seconds away from their entrance, Matt told Rory to go to the station and tell them what happened. A minute went by of just Matt on his own with a 6ft potential murder, then four police cars came racing down the main road. Then the police arrested the man and then a small police detective said "we've been trying to catch this man for months, thank you."

Barthes theory

This narrative is a closed narrative. This is down to that Matt and Rory nowhere the killer went so the audience know where how Matt was going to catch him.

Todorov's theory

Equilibrium

Four school friends in Sutton park, who are trying to trying to capture land scape photos for there school project. Is was about 5 o'clock when the bright orange sun was starting to set very slowly with the reflection across the lake. It was a lovely clear and warm early evening, seemingly. ideal for the type of pictures they needed to capture.

Recognition 

The group were busy taking photos when all of a sudden Ellis was aware of the sound of 

a sharp snap of a branch as if someone was behind him. Ellis turned around, to see no one was there. Then Amy says "what's wrong with you" in reply Ellis told Amy "I heard a noise, thinking someone was there". Amy laughed and said "you wimp". 

Everyone started talking and began taking further photos, Ellis was lining up his position for his next picture when again heard the crack of someone snapping something under foot he turned his head trying to focus on his camera but with his eyes darting about looking for anyone that might be there, but not seeing anyone. Ellis turned his attention to his camera to capture the sun disappearing before he lost the chance of good photos. He felt a cold chill that made him shiver but the air was still but he realised the leaves were blowing up swirling around and around making strange rustling noises the branches of the trees were swaying making thrashing noises  no one else seen to notice but the noise was getting louder.  Ellis was standing transfixed expecting someone to appear, the others of the group were still taking photos oblivious to Ellis.

Ellie's phone began to bleep with text messages but she was busy taking the shots of the sun sinking further down. Ellie only noticed her phone when it started to ring. On the phone Ellie's mom on the phone saying to come home straight away as there was a mad psychopath murderer on the loose heading towards the park. 

Disequilibrium

At that moment something came out behind the bushes heading toward the group of youngsters lashing out at them. They did not realise they were being attacked or what they were being attacked by as it was so quick. The attacker was brandishing a knife he was reigning knife wounds on the four youngsters, he was waving his arms in all directions inflicting cuts on all of them, blood was pouring from wounds from all of them, they were all panicking, screaming, shouting, the girls were crying. Liam and Ellis who both were knocked to the floor half conscious loosing so much blood. 

Repair

Liam tried to concentrate on seeing where the crazy man was. When he thought the man was going to attack the girls he managed to spot ellis's tripod he without thinking of the consequences or even the pain he was in grabbed it and swung it at the legs of the man who went flying as he lost his balance falling banging his head on a rock landing with a thud on the ground. 

New equilibrium

Ellis found his phone that had fallen to the ground and then called 999. 

Levi-strauss

Male vs. female 

The two male characters are the ones to try and stop the killer when the female character are left on the floor and are helpless. 

Good vs. bad

The teenagers are the "good" characters as they are minding there own business and not causing trouble. Then the attacker is the "bad" character as he attacked the students. 

Time

Time is linear as everything is in order and there are no montages or flashbacks to manipulate time.
