Narrative Theories

Todorov's theory states that all narratives begin with an equilibrium where everything is normal and the characters are happy. There is a disruption to this equilibrium somewhere in the narrative which means that there is a chain of events leading to a new equilibrium or balance at the end of the narrative.  Based on Todorov's theory, and in relation to our music video:

Our equilibrium is that the lead singer of the band is hallucinating about his girl in a positive way. This section is based on the Newcastle Quayside. Everything is fine until he approaches and an envelope shows in her place. The disequilibrium is why the envelope keeps appearing in place of this girl and the locations within this. The new equilibrium is that the envelope finally does not appear in place of girl in the end, and he is with her.
