Narrative blog task

500 Days of Summer is unique in the sense that it's narrative is not presented chronologically. In the movie, we don't go through the story in a linear perspective.

ENIGMA codes: In the trailer, the audience is left with many enigma codes such as, why does the girl break up with Tom? What happens afterwards and what happened between them to cause the break up?

ACTION codes: The audience could consider the action code could be when she breaks up with him.

Equilibrium: The equilibrium that we the audience see could be before Tom meets the girl and goes out with her.

Disequilibrium: The disequilibrium is the obvious and clear point where the girl breaks up with Tom as it creates a lot of complications for Tom and essentially changes him as a person.

New Equilibrium: The new equilibrium is when he tries to change and move one but has difficulty in doing this. This part is not shown too much in the trailer so it leaves it up to the audience as an anchor to try and watch the movie and find out.

The Villain: The woman could easily be both the Villain or The Princess.
The Donor and the Helper:  In this trailer, we see many friends helping Tom in his break up so we can see that they are the ones to help him resolve the disequilibrium.
The Princess: The woman could be the Princess but also it can be interpreted that she is not a typical Princess. It could also be interpreted that the Hero is in fact the Princess all along and that he has to save himself from the break up.
The Hero: Tom the main protagonist is the clear and apparent hero of the story.

ENIGMA codes: In the trailer, the audience is left with many enigma codes such as, who are the two main characters and why are they fighting? What are their motives and what are the reasons behind their binary opposition?

ACTION codes: The audience can see that the action codes of violence are presented when Fisk kills the man in the beginning of the scene.

Equilibrium: The equilibrium that we the audience see could be the calm state of the city and the generally setting.

Disequilibrium: The disequilibrium is the obvious and clear point where the first character (Fisk) kills a man to show violence and create disequilibrium in the natural order of affairs.

New Equilibrium: The new equilibrium is when we are introduced to the main protagonist Matt Murdock who is fighting for justice as a lawyer to try and "make the city a better place" and go against Fisk.

The Villain: We don't see him as the villain at first but it is Wilson Fisk shown at the beginning. He could also be the False Hero as his intentions are good but are immediately presented as bad after his actions of killing a man.
The Donor and the Helper:  In this trailer, we see many friends helping Matt but the most dominant ones are the Vicar and the blind old man who helps to train him.
The Princess: We could interpret that the princess that needs to be saved could be the city and setting itself as both the villain and hero talk about saving the city repeatedly.
The Hero: The main protagonist in this trailer is Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer.

At the start of the trailer, as the audience we can see many fade outs which allows the audience to take in every different scene to the story and the surroundings of where the movie would be taken. This is important because before even watching the movie the audience get an idea of what may happen and can identify similar scene to the previous squeals. As they show the different scenes of the movie this brings the attention of the fan base of this movie to get more excited of what the movie could bring, also bringing more popularity towards the movie. In the trailer, it shows linear pattern which allows the audience to get a grasp of the resolution. This is effective because it shows a all rounder of the movie by using the fade out technique by giving the audience hints of what the movie involves. By using the medium close up shots and medium long shots it enables the audience to establish the settings and create identification with the protagonist as we see she is most of the shots and she is trying solve the problem around her by defeating the villain, which makes her the hero the  princess are the people of each distract that she is trying to save, the people she cares about.  Having close up shot of the protagonist it allows the audience to connect with the her for the short of time by seeing her facial expression and identify the emotion she is trying to put across. The trailer brings enigma codes to the audiences minds as they as they try to figure out what could happen and how she is going to defeat the villain. Throughout out the trailer they are many action codes which could represent the genre of the movie being a adventure fiction movie. Throughout the movie, it gives the audience a disequilibrium effect as it involves conflict and the distributed by unfortunate events and evil characters.
