Analyse Narrative in Music Video

In relation to Todorov:

Equilibrium: At the beginning Robert Chase is living his normal life with his job trying to help people with their own problems and sorting their lives out. 

Example: Medium close up of him presenting his own show, demonstrating his importance.

Disruption: The disruption we see is when Robert is drinking and taking all these drugs which highlights he life isn't normal at all and is having his own problems. 

Example: Wide shot of Robert in the car buying some drugs off a dealer. 

Acknowledgement: When he is drinking in the bar alone he realises how lonely he is and how life is empty. However, he tries to run away from this by hiring another prostitute.

Example: Quick cuts of him continuously drinking alcohol at the bar on his own. 

Attempt to Restore: The way he tries to restore is by hiring another prostitute, buying more alcohol and drugs. While he is drunk and drugged up he is having sex with the prostitute he watches his own show of him to try and make him feel better. 

Example:  Eye line match of him watching himself on TV, then we see the close-up of him sweating. 

New Equilibrium:  He hasn't confronted his problems and his life is in disarray by carrying on taking drugs and drinking. 

Example:  Birds eye view shot of him in the street dancing while he is on drugs which demonstrates how he is certainly not normal.
