Todorov’s Narrative stages
Todorov is a Bulgarian philosopher, he believes there are five key stages to any narrative film. These include:
- Equilibrium - here the setting is established and key characters are introduced, this is when the story line is set up.
- Disruption - the oppositional characters appear and the story is taken in a particular direction.
- Recognition of disruption - this is the longest section of all the stages, consisting of both the events and the characters.
- Fixing the disruption - here we feel a lot of tension and the problem we saw at section two has been fixed.
- Reinstatement of equilibrium - all the problems are resolved and a new balance is created.
