Todorov proposed a basic structure for all narratives. He said that films and programmes begin with an equilibrium (a calm period) Then agents of disruption cause disequilibrium(a period of unsettlement and disquiet). This is then followed by a renewed state of peace and harmony for the protagonists and a new equilibrium brings the chaos to an end. The simplest form of narrative (sometimes referred to as ‘Classic’ or ‘Hollywood’ narrative).
