There are 5 stages to Todorov's conventional narrative hypotheses:
Stage One - There is an equilibrium from the outset.
Stage Two - Some kind of action disrupts the equilibrium.
Stage Three - There is a recognition that the equilibrium has been disrupted
Stage Four - There is an attempt to resolve the disruption
Stage Five - The equilibrium of reinstated.
These 5 stages can be seen in the graphic i made below.
Of course, this doesn't apply to every film going, for example in some films the equilibrium is not reinstated.
