Narrative is defined as: "a chain of events in a cause-effect relationship occurring in time" - Bordwell & Thompson
Todorovs theory suggests that there are 5 stages to every film:
- There is a state of Equilibrium - this happens at the very beginning of the film. It is where all is balanced and normal.
- A Disruption - This follows the Equilibrium. It is where something/someone disrupts the previously calm/normal atmosphere to the film.
- The Recognition - This is where there is a recognition that there was a disruption
- An attempt to Repair - This is trying to repair the disruption and resolving the conflict or whatever has gone wrong
- The Resolution - When everything has been restored.
