Today I researched and decided that the media theory I wish to integrate into my project is Todorov's Narrative Theory of Equilibrium. The reason I chose this theory is because I believe that it is the best fit for my project, as the characters in my film will be introduced, then the film will continue with events.
Tzvetan Todorov is the creator of this theory, and he created it in 1969. There are five different stages to this theory, including: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, resolution, and new equilibrium. The three parts that I learned about in class are the equilibrium, disequilibrium (disruption), and the new equilibrium.
An example of this is the film Moana (2018)

This goes through the stages of the theory I am researching, as there is a state of equilibrium, then disruption, and then a repairing stage, and a new equilibrium.
The way that I will use this, is that the way my storyline will go is I will have the main character speaking and her words coming true, then the disruption where the killer is sent to her because of her words, and finally she will find out what is going on and how she will fix it.
