Tzvetan Todorov's Theory of Narrative:

The five stages of Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative: Stage One- Initial state of equilibrium Stage Two- Disruption of peaceful equilibrium Stage Three- Realisation of disequilibrium by charcters Stage Four- Charatcers attempt to recover equilibrium Stage Five- State of equilibrium/normality returned Does Todorov's theory apply to out genre? -The Todorov's theory of narrative and the 5 stages of equilibrium do not always apply to electro music videos as they are normally dominated by performance, or establashing scenes for example-

-In particular relation to our music video Todorov's theory does not apply because our narrative shots do not abide to the five point structure, they follow a more loose and ambigous pattern.
