Narrative Theory - Levi-Strauss
Looks at narrative theory in terms of binary oppositions
Binary oppositions are sets of opposite values which reveal the structure of media texts
An example would be 'Good' and 'Evil'
e.g. Horror films
Not so interested in looking at the order in which events were arranged in the plot
Instead he looked for deeper arrangements of themes
Police Vs Criminal
e.g. News, Crime & Gangster and Police TV Dramas
Hero Vs Villian
e.g. Action films
Relationships Vs Loneliness
e.g. Romance TV and film, Pop Music Videos
Wealthy Vs Poverty
Game/quiz show with cash prizes and rap music videos
Another way of looking at narratives is by looking for a 'structure in the way in which the narrative unfolds'
structure can be something quite basic
