Characters Theory

Vladimir Propp theory-

This is when Prop argued that there are eight different types of characters within a film. Those eight characters are;

The Hero- The hero is considered the main character in the film, who is in some search for a journey 

Villian- This character usually opposes the hero 

Donor - This character prepares the hero by giving them some sort of magical  object. 

Dispatcher- This is the character that makes the evil of the villain known and sends off the hero

False Hero- Takes credits for the hero's actions and wants to marry the princess

The Helper- This character is usually inferior to the hero,  but helps and advises them to succeed. 

Princess- The hero deserves this 'prize' throughout the film and wants to marry her, But is unable to do so because of unfair evil. 

Her Father - This character gives the task to the hero in order to win his daughter. 

Propp's theory does not really apply to my short film idea, as as a group we decided that we only wanted one character, in order to portray the message clearly, which will prevent the audience from getting disorientated and confused by the plot.
