Today we learnt about Todorov's Theory.
Todorov's Theory is a set of five stages that most films follow to set out the story. These five stages are:
1.Equilibrium- The setting is established and characters are introduced to the story. The story is also set up.
2.Disruption- The oppositional characters appear, the story takes a different direction.
3.Recognition of disruption- Lives of characters and events interact. Tension is built throughout and is often the longest sequence.
4.Attempt to repair disruption- The highest point of tension and a change in the dynamic follows.
5.Reinstatement of equilibrium- Everything is sorted out, all problems are solved and questions are answered.
