Tzvetan Todorov theory research

Tzvetan Todorov simplified the idea of narrative theory while also allowing a more complex interpretation of film texts with his theory of Equilibrium and Disequilibrium. The theory is the fictional environment begins with a state of equilibrium (everything is as it should be). It then suffers some disruption (disequilibrium). Then recognition which builds up tension of the disruption, followed by attempt to repair. This is at the highest point of tension and there is a change in the disruption dynamic. Lastly reinstatement, everything is back to how it was. I believe that this theory is reflected in my research I watched: Jurassic Park, ET, Saving Private Ryan and Finding Nemo and there was evidence to suggest Todorov's theory was applicable. I believe that most films use this as the scene is set with the equilibrium then disruption is use to make the audience interested. I will use this in my film as I think that most audience are familiar with it and are still entertained by it.
