Construction: Making Use of Theory

Making Use of Theory

According to Todorov's narrative theory, the story behind any movie begins with an equilibrium and this equilibrium is interrupted by a series of events. This is exactly what happens on the plot of Deadly Love. Although, we only had to do the opening scene of Deadly Love, our movie still has a recognition of an issue, an attempt to restore the disruption and finally a reinstatement of the equilibrium so that problems in Deadly Love are solved so that the order can be restored to the world of the fiction.

Deadly in Love begins with a sort of Equilibrium as Roman, a British Doctor enters his house acting quite suspicious and by crossing out with human's blood a picture of a woman the film starts to build suspense.











Then Roman goes to the sink and washes the blood away, and straight after his face too.

By starring at a woman's picture and then placing a knife on it, the character builds suspense, leaving the viewers wonder what is going to happen next.











Next, we see a flashback of a romantic couple walking in a park, doing what couples normally do. We see equilibrium in this scene soon turning into disruption when Roman attacks Rashida at the end.

The same happens with Destiny in the scene of the romantic dinner ending up in a traumatic attack.

Deadly Love ends with a brief introduction of the last and final attack, but as it's only an opening scene, we couldn't go on until the end.

The next scene would have involved Roman attacking Abby. Rashida, Destiny and Abby spent 2 months recovering in the same hospital where they had the chance to meet each other. They found out that they were attacked by the same man, Roman. What they do then is discuss on a potential revenge to finally stop Roman committing any more murders. The girls when they fully recover are dismissed from hospital. The girls meet up and then together put great depth and technical detail into the plan and on the right day, they initialize the revenge. Roman soon realises he is in danger but the girls had everything planned. He tries to escape but fails and Rashida, Destiny and Abby kill him.
