1. Narrative Framework 1: Levi-Strauss Binary
Opposition. Levi-Strauss came up with a theory
of clear opposites such as good vs Evil .
Apply this theory to our Documentary

2. representing the Police as the good
and
an opposite of people getting arrested as the Evil.

3. How we will represent the Police ?
We will be doing this through interviews and real
life footage of how the police deal with criminals
who cannot behave themselves at night.
The police also use head cams so you can see first
hand experience of how the police deal with
incidents.
We will also take footage of police preventing some
things from expanding into problems .

4. How we will represent the people
getting arrested
. We will film them being arrested and being
taken to a police station
Show how those people bring negative
connotations towards Leicester making it
seem “ Unsafe to be in “.

5. Narrative Framework 2:
• Todorov(Equilibrium, Dis equilibrium & New
Equilibrium)

6. Equilibrium
We have already decided that the basic storyline
of this documentary will be facts of Leicester,
the good side of Leicester which is going to be
the Equilibrium. This is where everything is
normal and people are having fun in
nightclubs and around the City Centre.

7. Disequilibrum
• Then comes the Disequilibrum where the
police find some disturbance and people are
having fights. This is where something has
happenend which the police have to get
involved with.

8. New Equilibrium
• Then finally comes the New Equilibrium where
the problem is solved and the criminal is taken
off the streets and banged up for the night.
This is going to be the main storyline of our
documentary with interviews and voxpoxs in
the middle.

9. Stereotypes Narrative Theory 3
• Perkins (Stereotypes) Refer to work on
positive stereotypes by ..Perkins.

10. Sterotype
• A sterotype which exists within the communities
of Leicester by some people is the police are
people who try and make the streets safer and
have a positive representation of the police and
that is what we are trying to convey however
some people have a negative representation of
the police and this is what we would like to
change and show that the police only work for
the community and in the best intrest of the
people who party in Leicester.

11. • However, as T. E. Perkins notes in her key article
‘Rethinking Stereotypes’, the often observed
‘simplicity’ of stereotypes is deceptive:to refer
‘correctly’ to someone as a ‘dumb blonde’, and
to understand what is meant by that, implies a
great deal more than hair colour and
intelligence. It refers immediately to ber sex,
which refers to her status in society, her
relationship to men, her inability to behave or
think rationally, and so on. In short, it implies
knowledge of a complex social structure.
