Todorov.
Todorov believed that there were four main stages to every film/text : -
- Equilibrium - Everything is normal until ...
- Disruption - This creates enigmas and drama
- Resolution - This sets out to solve all enigmas created in the disruption stage
- Equilibrium - The resolution of all previous enigmas leads to a new equilibrium.
However, the last stage is not the same as the first equilibrium stage; as now characters have usually learnt something or developed/grown in some way or another.
The disruption stage leaves questions to be answered in the film/text. For example, the typical questions involve - who, what next and why?
