Todorov suggested that within a text there should be a state of equilibrium and disequilibrium.
He suggested there are 5 stages with in a text where this takes place
1. Begin with a state of equilibrium (everything is as it should be and everything is equal)
2. A disruption to the equilibrium. (disequilibrium)
3.Recognition that the disorder has taken place
4 .An attempt to mend the disruption.
5. Equilibrium is restored. (new equilibrium)
Todorov argues that narrative involves a transformation and this can be in a character or a situation in a text and it is caused by disequilibrium.
We need to think about this when creating our trailer as a trailer is like a summary of the whole film and the whole film should, according to Todorov, contain these elements.
