Narrative Theory - Todorov

Todorovs theory suggests that every narrative follows the structure that within a narrative there is always a protagonist and an antagonist where an issue or conflict occurs. Within my music video it features the typical boy meets girl boy breaks girls heart so we see the girl as he protagonist and the antagonist is the boy.
Todorov then implies that once we establish who the protagonist /antagonist is here will be a sort of disruption. Within my video the disruption will be when the girl realises that she is being used and she begins to develop darker within her character and is no longer innocent.
Todorovs theory then progresses to say that there is a quest taken - my actress regrets being with the boy and wants to 'restart' her night.
Finally the resolution within my music video is where the protagonist problem is solved. The actress blow so the candles and realises the mistakes her and the boy has made.
My narrative very much crosses over with Todorovs theory as it has the main steps that happen within the theory and my music video.
