Todorov theory

Tzvetan Todorov Theory;
todorov has come up wiht the idea that when looking at music videos or films that they all follow a process of five main stages. This theory does apply to television soaps too but there cycle is alot shorter and is always going around to keep the television seriers running.The five stage cycle are;

1.A state of equilibrium at the outset;
This the stage where the music video shall apply and is he intrdouction to who is who and start to get an understand of whats happening within the music video. For our music video this shall be where we meet scarlett and then see her in the present day looking back on the past. This shall show us that she is remincising or looking back to see where she went wrong.

2.A disruption of the equilrium by some action;
This is the stage where the balance from the beginning is distrurb by some sort of action. This is not something that clearly in our music video as the videos starts with her already slipt up from her past boyfriend. the action for our music video would be hat they was rowing in there past relationship and things was just not working out for them.

3.Disequilibrium;
This is the stage where they full acknowledge the problem and they full see whats happening and they need to do somehitn to sort it out. This would be the point where 'scareltt' (the main singer) realises that she and 'Ryan' (the boy) are fully over and that he has moved on, and she doens't know what her next step is. As our music video starts with them already spilt up our music video is at this stage.

4.An attempt to repair the disruption;
This is where the character has recongised the problem and attempts to fix it. This is where Scarlett makes the decision to get over her past and it is time to let go. This decision is based on her past memories and that no good can ever cme back to thier relationship.

5.A reinstatemnt of the equilibruim;
This is where the character gets closure and the problem is resolved. This is where Scarlett has finally let go of her past and realised she is able to move on without he exboyfriend and now they are over it is for the best, she gets closure herself.
