Bordwell and Thompson's theory say that all narratives should have a plot and story. The audience are lend to believe in what they can see and assume things which aren't actually there. This is demonstrated in Taylor swifts music video Bad Blood. The plot is about getting revenge on her friend who has upset her. The story shows the first entail fight which makes is why Taylor wants revenge, then the training process and finally actual revenge scene this includes them walking across no mans land and the only fighting we see is Taylor and Selena going to Grab each other however because of the oversize fire covering the background we assume world war three is about to start.
Sven Carlson says they are three different areas to a media texts which are, performance, narrative and abstract. Taylor Swifts music video 'Bad Blood' has a narrative and however there is no abstract style in this video. Taylor features in the video and sings in it however she isn't actually performing in it on stage with a band.
Tim O'Sullivan's theory says that all media texts tell a story which you can watch and relate to. In Taylor Swifts music video 'Bad Blood' the narrative is all about falling out with your best friend and fighting with them. society as a whole can relate to this situation because most people have fallen out with a friend or family member, boyfriend or sibling. O'Sullivan says there is a communication flow, the raw event, text and audience. in this video the raw event is the first scene where we see Taylor and Selena are fighting in the office, this is what started the fight between them in the first place. this scene is set in an office which is a general working area for most of society therefore they can relate tot he mise-en-scene.
Todorov's theory is about five stages, the first stage is about equilibrium, which means balance, this is where everything is satisfied, calm and normal/ the second stage is about the stability being disrupted by some kind of force, which creates a state of disequilibrium. the third stage is the recognition which the disruption had taken in place. stage four is only possible to re-create equilibrium though action directed against the disruption and finally stage five is restoration of a new state of equilibrium. The consequences of the reaction is to change the world of the narrative and/or the characters so that the final state of equilibrium in not the same as the initial state.
Pam cooks theory is about the structure of the classic narrative system. In Hollywood there is a standard narrative structure which is, a linearity of cause and effect within an overall trajectory of enigma resolution, A high degree of narrative closure. and A fictional world that contains verisimilitude especially governed by spatial and temporal coherence. In Taylor Swifts music video has a clear cause and effect of the narrative, this being the entail fight.
