3. 1. EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium is a state of physical
balance. At the start of the film
everything is normal and happy.
Everything is balanced. This is how
most films start.
4. 2. DISRUPTION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM
In a film something happens which
disturbs the equilibrium. If the
equilibrium wasn't disturbed, then the
film would be very boring.
5. 3. RECOGNITION OF THE DISRUPTION
The characters realise that there is a
disruption and they know that they have
to try and fix it.
6. 4. AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE
Now that the characters realise that
there is something wrong, they try and
fix the damage. In most films, this is the
main section of the film.
7. 5. NEW EQUILIBRIUM
The damage has been repaired but
things do not return to normal. Instead a
new equilibrium is formed.
