Vladimir Propp was a literary scholar who developed a theory of narrative structure and character types. He proposed that all stories contain eight character archetypes, including the villain, dispatcher, helper, princess/prize, donor, and hero.

Narrative theory (propp)
Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian folk tales and identified 31 recurring plot elements, which he called "functions", that comprised the basic narrative structure of folk tales. He also found that despite a variety of characters, there were only 8 fundamental character types that appeared in the stories - The Villain, The Helper, The Princess/Prize, Her Father, The Donor, The Hero, The False Hero, and The Dispatcher. Each character type plays a distinct role that advances the plot.

Binary opposition theory
Binary opposition theory proposes that meaning arises from fundamental pairs of opposites in language and thought. Lévi-Strauss believed myths were structured by binary oppositions like good vs evil, and that resolving one opposition created an illusion of resolving the original. In films, binary oppositions like hero vs villain provide the basis for plots and create a sense of balance. Common examples of binary opposites used in stories include rich vs poor, human vs supernatural, and young vs old.

They use natural lighting and a range of shots. Common visual styles include modern colors and props like beer and drugs. The narrative follows multiple protagonists dealing with disruption, attempting repair, and achieving a new equilibrium. Character types include idiot protagonists, villains, and people who seem good but betray the group. Themes include good vs bad, idiocy, drinking, and friendship.

Vladimir propp
Vladimir Propp believed that certain essential character types exist in all stories. These include the Hero, who is the main character seeking to succeed; the Villain, who creates disruption and is usually bad; and the False Hero, who pretends to support the Hero but may actually be the Villain. Propp also identified character types like the Dispatcher who sends the Hero on a mission, the Helper who aids the Hero, and the Princess or reward that the Hero and False Hero may compete for.
Character theory
Vladimir Propp identifies 7 common character types that typically appear in stories: 1) The Hero is the main character who is usually good; 2) The Helper aids and supports the Hero; 3) The Villain disrupts the story and is usually bad; 4) The False Hero pretends to help the Hero; 5) The Donor provides something to help the Hero solve the problem; 6) The Dispatcher sends the Hero on their quest; 7) The Princess and Princess' Father are often related to the reward or goal for the Hero.

Propps character theory.
Vladimir Propp's theory proposes that certain character types, such as heroes, villains, princesses, and helpers, are commonly found across different narratives. The document analyzes trailers for the soap operas Emmerdale and EastEnders, finding examples that fit Propp's character types. In Emmerdale, a vulnerable older woman seems to be in danger and fits the princess role. EastEnders depicts Roxy as a princess in an abusive relationship. Both soaps include heroes who protect loved ones. EastEnders features a clear villain portrayed with red lighting. The analysis suggests following Propp's theory by including villain, hero, and princess roles in a soap opera to create mystery for audiences.
Propp Narrative
The document discusses Vladimir Propp's theory of narrative structures. Propp claimed that most stories contain similar character archetypes that fulfill common roles, which he called "spheres of action". These include the hero, villain, princess, father of the princess, false hero, helper, donor, and dispatcher. The document provides brief descriptions of the common roles fulfilled by each of these character types in stories according to Propp's theory.
Propp theory
Vladimir Propp was a Soviet folklorist who analyzed Russian folk tales and identified their simplest narrative structures.

Vladimir Propp was a literary scholar who developed a theory of narrative structures and character types in stories. He proposed that all narratives follow a specific structure and contain eight common character archetypes, including the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and prize. The document then provides examples of how these character types map to a hypothetical noir detective story, with the hero as a police officer, the villain as a local gang leader, and other roles assigned to supporting characters who help or hinder the hero's mission to defeat the villain.
Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified 8 character types that commonly appeared:
The Villain works against the Hero. In the document's book, the Villain is Spider who deceives the young Hero.
The Helper assists the Hero on their quests, like Donkey in Shrek or Chewbacca in Star Wars. In the book, no Helper is mentioned.
The Princess or prize is what the Hero wants, but the Villain may have taken her. The book's Hero is a young girl seeking to succeed against Spider by the end.
Propp's theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified their simplest narrative elements. He broke the tales down into character functions that commonly occurred. Propp defined 7 main character functions that typically appear in Russian folktales: the Hero, Villain, Donor, Helper, Prince/Princess, King, and Dispatcher. Each character serves a specific purpose in driving the plot forward or creating obstacles for the Hero to overcome in order to restore equilibrium.
Vladmir Propp
Vladimir Propp was a scholar who proposed that narratives follow a structure involving 8 character types: the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess, and the princess's father. Propp suggested all stories contain a struggle where the hero is harmed but ultimately overcomes the villain, restoring order. He also noted stories typically include a recognition scene where the hero is recognized, false characters are exposed, false heroes may be punished, and the hero receives their reward. Propp's theory has influenced many successful film narratives by providing a template for key characters and plot points.
Propps Character Roles And Narrative Functions - Maryasiye Kircin
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified recurring narrative elements. He developed a character role theory that identified 7 broad character types, including the villain, donor, princess, false hero, dispatcher, hero, and false hero. Propp also identified 31 narrative functions that commonly occurred in tales, such as struggle and hero's reaction. The document provides examples of how characters in soap opera trailers align with Propp's character roles and narrative functions.
Propp’s character theory
Vladimir Propp proposed that narratives follow a specific structure involving eight character types: the hero, villain, princess, donor, helper, princess's father, false hero, and dispatcher. Propp's theory influenced filmmaking and suggested fairy tales all conform to the same narrative structure. The document discusses Propp's eight character types and agrees that his character theory is fundamental to films, using the movie Shrek as an example of how the eight character types appear.
Media theories of short films
This document summarizes several media theories that can be applied to analyzing short films, including Propp's character archetypes and Todorov's narrative structure. Propp identified 7 common character types in folktales, such as the villain, donor, and hero. Todorov described the typical 5-stage narrative structure as equilibrium, disruption, resolution, attempt to restore order, and new equilibrium. The author explains how these theories can inform the development of their own short film about a conspiracy theorist, with character types like the villainous government figure and supporting friend, following Todorov's narrative stages from normal day to discovery of clues to confronting the conspiracy.
Propps theory (done)
Vladimir Propp studied Russian fairytales and identified that there are typically 8 main character types that appear: the dispatcher, the helper, the princess/prize, the villain, the father, the donor, the false hero, and the hero. When applying Propp's theory to a short video with only two characters, some of these roles can still map to the characters but not all are needed - the male character takes on the role of the hero who tries to help the female character overcome her depression represented as the villain.

Uses and gratifications theory 2
Uses and Gratifications Theory posits that audiences are active, choosing media to fulfill needs rather than media passively influencing people. Katz identified four needs media can meet: escape from daily life, surveillance or information gathering, personal relationships, and personal identity. Regarding music media, it can provide escape through artist stories, surveillance of music news, personal relationships via social media discussions, and ways to develop personal identity by relating to genres.
Rolling stone magazine analysis
This document analyzes the cover and contents page of a magazine issue. The summary is:
The cover features Lena Dunham prominently with a revealing shirt to draw attention. Pink is used in the masthead uniquely to connote femininity relating to Dunham's activism. The grey background emphasizes Dunham and makes the magazine stand out.
The contents page uses three consistent fonts and a red, white, and black color scheme. It is split into a photo column and editorial sections. The largest photo implies the main feature, and sub-lines give informal explanations of sections to connect with readers. Information about the issue number and date is included at the bottom.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Character theory
- 2. Vladimir Propp Vladimir Propp was a literary critic and scholar who founded the idea that certain types of character were portrayed in every narrative structure. His theory has influenced many filmmakers to write and produce successful narratives. Propp also argues that all fairy takes follow a specific narrative structure.
- 3. Vladimir Propp’s Character Theory Propp’s eight different character types: 1. The Hero = This is the main chaacter whom the audience will recognise as the key character in the narrative. This character is usually good. 2. The Villain = fights the hero in some way 3. The Helper = helps the hero in his quest as a companion, giving him advice and support. 4. The Princess/Prize = the hero deserves her throughout but is unable to “win” her because of an unfair evil, usually the “villain” . The hero’s quest is often ended once he marries the princess. Thereby beating the villain and resulting in a “happily ever after” ending. 5. The Dispatcher = gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero and could be described as the princess’ father. Propp notes that functionally , the princess and father cannot be clearly distinguished 6. The Donor = prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object 7. The Hero or Victim = reacts to the donor/ marries the princess 8. False Hero = takes the credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess
- 4. 1. The Dispatcher = This character could be the princess’ father as he sets gives the task to the hero and identifies the false hero (sending the hero on a wild goose chase) 2. The Princess’ Father – This 3. The Donor = This character is similar to the role of the helper. The Donor prepares the hero or gives the hero something to repair the problem in the narrative (Tondorov). The Hero or Victim = reacts to the donor/ marries the princess 4. False Hero = takes the credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess
- 5. The Villain This is the character who struggles against the hero. Typically with some sort of scarring. The villain usually appears in dark colours and as not attractive. This is to juxtapose between the hero and the villain, highlighting their differences. An example of this sort of villain is seen in “The Joker” in Batman.
- 6. The Dispatcher The Dispatcher is the character who invites the hero to eliminate the evil An example of a “dispatcher” is in the character “Nick Fury” from the “Avengers Assemble” movies as he collects the heroes in order to help them fight off the villain (i.e. Loki/Aliens/Hydra)
- 7. The Helper • This is the character who helps the hero fight against the evil/villains • An example of this character is “Robin” from “Batman and Robin” who helps Batman by providing a physical presence in order to destroy the villain.
- 8. The Princess This is the character who needs help/ to be rescued from the evil villain, e.g. the damsel in distress character. The princess in Spiderman is Mary Jane/Gwen Stacy. In both films she is taken by the villain of the plot and rescued by the hero, Spiderman.
- 9. The Hero The hero is the most common character type and is usually in the plot to defeat the villain and “win” the princess. An example of this is the Hero Superman who defeats his enemy, villain “Lex Luthor” and “wins” the Princess character “Lois Lane”.
- 10. Character Theory: My Music Video In my music video the hero/anti-hero is the mother as she rescues the daughter from the villain (the abusive father) but also is suggested to have murdered him. The helper/dispatcher is the daughter, played by Mabel, as she forces the mother into action. She is also the “Princess” as she needs to be saved by her mother from the situation.
