1 Minute Camera Story

Story layout:

Trying to follow Torodov's theory of equilibrium will allow the short film to have balance. Torodov's theory states that a story should have equilibrium. This means that the story starts off calm and normal. The situation then escalates to a point where there is a form of disaster, then at the end the disaster situation calms down and goes back to normal,


Similar to a bell curve:

The start of the film will consist of a man in his early 20's who is throwing a night halloween party and his having fun enjoying his time with his friends. POINT OF EQUILIBRIUM. After he has the party all the guests leave and then he goes to relax while watching a scary movie in his home. While watching the scary movie he receives a phone call and is terrified because he gets a threat over the phone by a voice which he doesn't recognise.

The middle section of the story is when the man has just finished receiving the threat on the phone. He then notices that there is someone knocking on the door, but he can't actually see anyone there. So being cautious he walks towards the door slowly and as he gets closer he gets more scared. He then grabs a rubber chicken that is lying on a nearby table ,other than the cricket bat right next to it, and goes to open the door. POINT OF DISRUPTION. When he opens the door he screams only to find that there is a small child in a costume asking for some candy. He then relaxes and gives the boy some candy.

The end of the story is when the man closes the door feeling more secure, and when he turns around he gets a fright by seeing his friend with a very unexpected look on his face. He then finds out that it was a prank and then he calms down and resumes with the relaxing, of watching a scary movie. RESTORATION OF EQUILIBRIUM.
