Tzvetan Todorov Theory

We looked at Todorov today and applied his theory to my film. I have skipped the first stage (equilbrium) because i am jumping straight into the action and i am not adhearing to this first rule, which means that immediatly my film is in a state of disequilbrium.  Stage two involves a regintion of the distortion, this is the man torturing and killing the vicim. Stage three is a recognition of the disorder, so the audience will see the victim tied to the chair and being tortured. Stage four is an attempt to repair the distortion, so in my film even though it wont be in my final piece the tortured man's son will go looking for his fathers killer. Stage five is the restoration of a new equilibrium, so the killer will be killed by the tortured mans son. If i was making the whole film both stage four and five would appear and be followed.
