Disruption- Something then happens to disrupt normality.
Recognition- The person/ characters recognise the disruption.
Attempt to Restore- Characters try to make everything normal again.
New Equilibrium- New start but everything is slightly different due to the journey you've been on.
Applying this theory to Let You Go, Chase and Status.
Equilibrium- He's a chat show host.
Disruption- Occurs when we see him wiping his nose in the car suggesting he is taking illegal substances.
Recognition- Comes from the montage of shots that demonstrates that he is out all night consistently having affairs and generally out of control.
Attempt to Restore- He's back in the studio in the make up room ready for a new day acting like nothing has happened.
New Equilibrium- He is an addict, his life will change. His life is spiraling out of control.
Applying this theory to Dilly, Band of Horses.
Equilibrium- Normality in the town, the bikers are not known by anybody and demonstrated freedom of the open road.
Disruption- The bikers go in to the bar and disrupt the normality of the town causing aggravation to the women and general sense of unease.
Recognition- The sheriff is called, they pull their guns out on the bikers and ask them to leave. However the bikers fight back metaphorically.
Attempt to Restore- The sheriffs are trying to restore the normality in town by creating a trap for the bikers. However the bikers are aware of this and are prepared.
New Equilibrium- Death to a number of the law enforcement officers, this bikers go on their way as outlaws. The town will feel differently about new comers into the town if they didn't already and always be wary.
