Todorov's Narrative Structure

Todorov developed a very simple narrative structure of three parts:
1. Equilibrium (firm sense of order is established)
2. Disequilibrium (disruption from an outsider)
3. New Equilibrium (this is overcome and order is restored)

This basic structure suggests that narrative is effectively the same, with variations only in the characters and settings. Therefore, it would be useful to use Todorov's narrative in a music video as it is not too guided or precise.
