Red Riding Hood Narrative Theory: Analysing Trailers - The Green Inferno & Red Riding Hood Todorov's Narrative theory: Stage 1 - The state of equilibrium is defined Stage 2 - Disruption to equilibrium by action or crisis Stage 3 - Characters recognise problems and set goals to fix them Stage 4 - Characters try to fix problems but there are obstacles Stage 5 - Equilibrium is re-instated, problem solved, conclusion For film trailers, stage 5 would not be applicable as the ending is rarely given away in a film trailer.
