Plot

Our film will begin with a series of short, montage shots showing key information about the events leading up to the scene and an idea of Hiro's family background. The shots show him paying respect and tribute to his dead parents and grabbing traditional & western weapons for his pursuit to avenge their deaths. The following shots show Hiro venturing towards his parents murdered Mr. Smith for revenge. Knowing that Mr. Smith is guarded, Hiro proceeds to slaughter some his henchman in order to reach him. Upon first contact with Mr. Smith he notices a resemblence and finds out they are related by family but not fully. Even though he has this knowledge of Mr. Smith, he continues his act of revenge and tries to attack Mr. Smith. The next few shots show a brief fight sequence between the two brothers and Mr. Smiths physical superiority over Hiro, leading to his inevitable downfall. The scene ends on a tilted shot showing Mr. Smith walking away from the scene, leaving Hiro broken on the ground and on the verge of passing out. Scene finishes and title takes the screen, followed by credits of cast and crew. This opening scene of our film only shows the equilibrium and start of the disequalibrium in relation to Todorov's narrative theory.

If the film was to continue beyond the three minute limit and into a full length film it would show Hiros struggle against Mr. Smith and his attempts to gain the satisfaction of revenge or some sort of solace. The full length film would show Hiro going through disequalibrium, being beaten down by his rival and left for dead. Hiros recongnition of the problem he's facing and what he has to do. His journey to avenge his parents death at the hands of the merci-less Mr. Smith. The new equalibrium would consist of Hiro having his revenge against Mr. Smith and returning to lead a peaceful life some sort.
