Todorov is a Bulgarian/French historian, literature critic, philosopher and sociologist. In 1996 he created a theory which he believed to be able to be applied to any film. He was convinced that all films followed the same narrative pattern.
The following where the 5 stages of his theory:
- A state of equilibrium - where everything is as it should be
- A disruption of the equilibrium through an event in the film
- A recognition by the characters that there has been a disruption
- An attempt to repair the disruption
- A reinstatement of the equilibrium
In our music video we have a clear state of the equilibrium, where our male and female protagonist are still happy, having a smoothie together during the summer. Whereas there then is a disruption of the equilibrium later on when they fight. Often in music videos there aren't the full 5 parts of equilibrium and therefore our music video only contains 2 parts.
