Todorov proposed that every story has 5 stages:
1. Equilibrium - Calm period of the film that is usually at the start. At this point everything is normal and characters are used to the situation.
2. Disruption of order - Something happens which changes the equilibrium, but the main character doesn't yet know the cause of the problem.
3. Recognition of disruption - At this point the main character finds out what caused the unsettlement, giving him/her the inspiration to resolve then issue.
4. Attempt to repair disruption - Main Character attempts to regain equilibrium by repairing the situation.
5. New equilibrium - Disruption has been sorted, and a new equilibrium is made, whether it is good or bad.
