    The document summarizes Todorov's five stage theory of media texts, and applies it to analyze the music video for the song "Dilly" by James Sheridan. The five stages are: original equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to restore original equilibrium, and establishment of a new equilibrium. In the video, the original equilibrium of motorcyclists on a road is disrupted when they harass people in a bar, recognized through their violent actions, and an attempt is made to restore order through police intervention, but a new equilibrium is reached with the bikers killing police and riding off.

    Dilly

    By james sheridan

    Todorovs theory states that in a media text there are five stages. ORIGINAL EQUILIBRIUM (normality) DISRUPTION RECOGNITION (of disruption) ATTEMPT TO RESTORE original equilibrium NEW EQUILIBRIUM

    Original Equilibrium

    An equalibruim is shown in the start of the music video when we see a bunch of typical motorcyclists on a road. This breaks when we see them enter the bar and start harrassing women for fun.

    Distuption

    We see the disruption when the bikers walk into the bar and start harassing everyone and disrupting them from a possible daily routine. This doubles when they start shooting the place up and scaring everyone.

    Recognition

    We see the disruption happening when the tables are turned over and glasses are smashed and this is then reinforced when the police start chasing chasing the bikers.

    Restoration
    Attempt to restore equilibrium because all the fighting has ended so the violence has stopped so it is like the start of the video again where there is a sort of peace about

    New Equilibrium

    The bikers kill the police and then ride off into the sunset to another town to possibly start the whole sequence all over again.
