1. A state of equilibrium ( all is as it should be)
2. A disruption of that order by an event.
3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred.
4. An attempt to repair the damage of disruption.
5. A return or restoration of a new equilibrium.
Todorov's theory is used across a variety of music videos in order to aid a good narrative. However all 5 stages do not need to be covered in order to do this. My example here to use is Plan B's song Writings on the wall.
Equilibrium is present. Strickland Banks is out performing, something he does to earn money for him and his wife who is at home cooking dinner for the two of them to have a nice evening in.
A disruption occurs when Strickland banks decides to go out with friends after the gig instead of going home to his wife. He then has a one night stand with another girl which betrays his wife further.
A recognition of the disorder occurred when Strickland Banks phoned his wife and told her he was not coming home for dinner he was staying out with friends.
However this is where it ends there is not attempt of repair on the damage that is caused.
