Narrative Theorists- Claude Levi-Strauss

Claude Levi-Strauss is a narrative theorist who came up with the idea of 'binary opposites'. For example,
light, dark
love,hate
black,white
war,peace.

Binary opposites are in my short film and they are:

love, hate- In my short film the relationship between the two main characters is a love hate relationship.He loves his girlfriend but at the same time wants to kill her.

black,white- In  my short film the bad memories/flashbacks are physically in black and white. This suggests that the violent memories/flashbacks are black and white.

male, female- Obviously its simple but, the main characters are male and female.
