Todorov/Propp Theory

In class we looked at T&Ps theory of films, and concluded that music videos did not follow this structure but it did have elements of it.


A state of equilibrum at the outset
A disruption of equilibrium by some action
A recongnition that there has been disruption
An attempt to repair the disruption
A reinstatement of equilibrium.


You would mostly see this structure in dramas like Eastenders but i think elements of this fit in with music videos. Hers how i think it relates:


In a music video there is a state of equilibrum at the outset
Then a disruption of the equilibrum by some action
An attempt to repair the disruption
Then it can either be fixed or not
