Todorov's Theory

Todorov's theory looks at narrative structures within a movie.
His theory states that all narrative structures follow 5 different stages; equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair & resolution. Below I have explained these 5 stages:

1. In the beginning of the film there is always a state of equilibrium, all is calm, normal and balanced, nothing is wrong at this stage
2. A disruption to the equilibrium would then occur, things begin to turn for the worst, and the equilibrium becomes distorted 
3. Then there is recognition of the disruption; characters realize that there is something wrong and that they need to do something about it
4. An attempt to repair the disruption is then made; events will occur to try restore what's gone wrong
5. Finally there is a resolution; all is restored and a new equilibrium is made
