Todorov's theory suggests that conventional narratives are structured in 5 steps: Equilibrium, Disruption, Recognition, Repair , Resolution.
Equilibrium - This the beginning of the movie, when everything is normal and as it should be. Nothing is wrong at this stage.
Disruption - This is when the equilibrium is DISRUPTED and things turn to bad and turn for the worst
Recognition - They have realized that something has gone wrong, they have RECOGNIZED the situation.
Repair - Now they have acknowledged that something has gone wrong they make an attempt to try and REPAIR the situation. Events occur to try and restore what has gone wrong.
Resolution - Everything has been restored, they fixed the situation and all has been restored and is back to normal.
From looking at todorov's theory i have applied it to many films i have watched and i seen that his theory is correct.
