Music Videos with Todorov's Narrative Theory

Todorov's Narrative Theory explains how Narrative music videos tend to go through 5 different stages:

My Hero - Foo Fighters

This music video relates to Todorov's Narrative theory as it shows these 5 different stages through a narrative. In the first 10 seconds, we see that a man is running with the camera following behind him quite shakily - this represents chaos and tension as we do not know what he is running towards. Dis-equilibrium is then portrayed since a fire has broken out in the house the man is running to. As the man runs into a different room, Foo Fighters are performing, with the camera zooming in and out on the front man, Dave Grohl. At 1:02, Recognition takes place since it shows that people are obviously trapped inside the house - making the audience more worried, but more interested to watch the rest. The man then runs out of the house with a baby, passing it to it's crying mother. This is called Reparation, because the man realises he has to try and retrieve everybody inside the burning house. The man saves everybody who is in the building, and also old photos. A new Equilibrium is then formed since everyone is cheering outside for the man and everyone is safe.
