How Our Film Applies/Challenges Todorov's Hypothesis

Once having researched Tzvetan Todorov's narrative structure I decided to investigate how our music video idea applied to his hypothesis. What I discovered was... well... it didn't.


Our narrative does hold some neccesary aspects needed for a narrative, for example we are going to use a multistrand narrative and flashback which I think makes our film intriguing. However the "Disruption" as Todorov calls it, takes place before the Music Video and what our video is really showing is "The New Equillibriem", this is the end of the story almost, and we are showing the new norm for our protagonist.

  • Equillibriem: The norm of our story would be the flashbacks as these are what life used to be like.
    • Disruption of the Equillibriem: This would be the cause of the arguement, however this is not seen in our music video
      • Recognition of the Disruption: This will be the actual arguments and the fights between the couple.
        • Resolution: The unfortunate resolution to our story was the couple breaking up. As there was no way to resolve the damage.
          • New Equillibriem: This is where our music video comes into it, this is the boy trying to live without the girl, and the feelings he still has towards her but cannot do anything about. The new equillibriem is seeing the girl be with other boys and him being alone.
