An example which I can give of the todorov narrative model is a music video by the Artic Monkeys, and its called Leave before the lights come on.
Equilibrium: A man is walking down the street.
Disequilibrium: A woman is standing on the roof of a building and it appears like she is about to commit suicide
Recognition: She drops a shoe onto the floor, and the man picks it up and looks up. He sees what she appears about to do and runs up to stop her.
Reparation: He then takes her for a drink, where he leaves when she tries to kiss him. She tried to chase him but he shrugs her off, he gets angry and he has ago at her, where she runs off back to the buildings roof.
New Equilibrium: She waits for another man to pass, and she drops her shoe again.
