TODOROV’S THEORY

Todorov proposed a basic structure for all narratives. He stated that films and programmes begin with an equilibrium, a calm period. Then agents of disruption cause disequilibrium, a period of unsettlement and disquiet. This is then followed by a renewed state of peace and harmony for the protagonists and a new equilibrium brings the chaos to an end. The simplest form of narrative.

We have used his theory in our film by having an equilibrium at the beginging of our film, which then builds up to an eventfull peirod in our film, which is then followed by a reasuring period of the film with a happy ending.
