applying narrative theories to my terror in the night task

My storyboard for "Terror in the night" has a linear structure, as it opens with a scene showing the bat, and then showing the two children playing in the park, followed by a scene conveying the parents - thus introducing us to the characters and the story. It then continues to a scene where the children are running from the bat, and the parents are phoning the police; the story builds. It then ends with one of the children dying, the police finding both children, and then a long shot of the dead child with the bat in the background. Therefore meaning my storyboard has a linear structure.
My storyboard links to Barthes ideas on narrative structure, as it has aspects of the action code in it, for example, the audience know that the children are in a park, because the mise en scene indicates this.


My storyboard links to Strausse's theory, as it conveys binary opposites such as light/dark alive/dead strong/weak evil/good young/old included in it. Strausse's theory suggests that nothing is known without its opposite, meaning that we would not understand what one thing is, without the other. e.g. without day, we would not understand what night was.
