Tzvetan Todorov:
Todorov came up with the: classive Hollywood narrative. This began with a equilibrium, the start of the story where a scene is set. Then the narrative structure has a disruption, where something unplanned goes wrong. then followed by a conflict, a fight between main characters. Then the story has a resolution, where everything is good and back to normal. After this stage a new equilibrium will start and the process will cycle again.
