Todorov suggested that conventional narratives are structured in five stages:
1. A state of equilibrium at the outset
2. A disruption of the equilibrium by some action
3. A recognition that there has been a disruption
4. An attempt to repair the disruption
5. A reinstatement of the equilibrium
This type of narrative structure is very familiar to us and can be applied to many ‘Mainstream’ film narratives.
This relates to our film trailer because the first point is the equilibrium of the two characters kicking the ball around. The second point is where the ball is kicked into the forest and the third point relates to when they go into the forest to find the ball. The fourth point is when the friend tries to find the missing friend whilst she disappears
