Todorov Narrative Model:
This is the Todorov model for Questioner:
Equilibrium- The equilibrium is when the main character hasn't started questioning everything and considers himself to be normal. Everything in his life is happy and we see him at the start of the film playing with the wooden table pins game and his dog and shows enjoyment with what he is doing. This gives the clear idea to the audience that the main character (because we do not know his name yet) is very happy and that we start with a clear equilibrium.
Disequilibrium- This is when the main character starts asking questions and thinking of so many thinks that he questions in his daily life. After this first disrupt it leads to more and more especially in his school life because of his unusual habitats and annoying questions. We first see the characters question very early on in the film where he is told to go to bed. He replies with "why?" which leads us to believe he is a bit rude for talking back but after this first questions its like he becomes addicted to asking questions and finds so many questions he needs answering. We see the increasing amount of questions in the next scene and get a hint of how is Grandmother (Valerie Hope) is starting to become annoyed although remains calm and makes answers as quickly as he can ask questions. This contrast between the characters works well and helps him to understand and makes her best to help him with the problems he will face. The other disequilibriums will be throughout the rest of the film when he has problems with bullying from his school and students because of his unusualness and his habits that make him out to be weird.
New Equilibrium- The new equilibrium will be at the very end when we see that Lewis had finally grown up to reach his goal of success and beating his challenges. We see that his annoying habit of questioning everything has turned out good and helped him to be successful in a well-paid job that needs someone who spots different issues and solves them as part of NASA. We see that he is very happy and loves working with people who see his habit as a talent in helping NASA find more life in space. We also see that he has a family and he couldn't be happier.
This is the storyboard for the opening 2 minutes for my feature film Questioner:
The storyboards include the angles, sounds, effects, transitions and titles that will be used over the clips plus the effects that will be added in editing.
