Distribution

Todorov – This film seeks to challenge the conventions of Todorov’stheory as the film will follow a different structure ofdisequilibrium, where the character will begin in a state of unbalance anddesperation and then move to an equilibrium where he finds a balance inhis life and finally a resolution in which he fulfils his goal of success.

Barthes – The film will greatly use the conventions of Barthes theory inwhich it will include elements of narratives codes for example the enigmacode allowing the audience to question why the character is so eager to besuccessful?, what happened to the characters real parents?, why did herun away from his foster parents?
