Narrative theory - Media Studies
This document discusses several narrative theories, beginning with a definition of narrative as a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events presented to an audience. It then examines Tzvetan Todorov's theory that narratives follow five steps: equilibrium is disrupted, the disruption is recognized, an attempt is made to fix the damage, and a new resolution or equilibrium is reached. However, some narratives like the film "Se7en" deliberately avoid resolution. Vladimir Propp's theory identified common character archetypes in narratives like villains, helpers, and heroes. Claude Levi-Strauss's theory was that narratives rely on binary oppositions like strong vs. weak and good vs. evil.
Introduction to film genre
The document discusses the genre conventions of Western films. Some key conventions discussed include the setting on the American frontier during the late 19th century, with landscapes depicting the conquest of wilderness. Plots typically involve maintaining law and order through conflicts between good and bad characters. Common characters include sheriffs and outlaws. The genre depicts ideological conflicts through its themes and elements. While the Western genre declined in popularity by the 1970s, its themes and conventions continue to influence other genres like science fiction and action films.
Melodrama 2
This document defines melodrama and outlines its key conventions and characteristics. Melodrama refers to dramatic works that put characters in danger to appeal to emotions. It originated from early 19th century French, combining spoken dialogue with music. Common conventions include the use of close-up shots to emphasize emotion, settings that reflect realistic locations, and exaggerated dramatic storylines involving themes like love, betrayal, and conflict. Examples given are soaps like Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road.
The Generic conventions of Sci-fi films
The sci-fi genre incorporates hypothetical and science-based themes into futuristic storylines that explore social and philosophical issues. Common elements include heroes and villains, advanced technology, unfamiliar settings like space or other planets, and narratives involving the destruction of Earth or development of new technologies and their consequences. Character types range from aliens and robots to scientists and mutants, while settings include Earth or alternative versions of it in the future or parallel universes.
Codes and Conventions of Comedy
The document discusses several codes and conventions commonly used in comedy films. Camera shots like close-ups and point-of-view shots are used to highlight comedic moments and position the audience. Lighting is often bright and colorful to reflect the upbeat tone, while sound effects enhance jokes and slapstick. Mise-en-scene and editing are also manipulated to exaggerate characters and situations for comedy, through techniques like costuming, reaction shots, and building dramatic irony. Common themes in comedies include action, romance, and satire, and genres like parody and black comedy aim to make audiences laugh.

Typical conventions of scifi
The document discusses the typical conventions used in science fiction trailers and films. It outlines elements like futuristic technology, conflict between good and evil, and dystopian societies that are commonly seen in the sci-fi genre. It also describes visual and technical conventions regarding costumes, props, camerawork, editing, sound design and music that sci-fi films employ to set the atmosphere and advance the story.
Genre theory Steve Neale
Steve Neale is an influential film studies scholar who has written extensively on genre theory. He argues that genres are defined by both repetition of conventions and elements of difference in each text. Genres are not fixed but evolve as new works subvert conventions or combine elements of multiple genres. Audiences expect certain genre conventions but regimes of realism vary between genres based on their internal rules rather than reality alone.

Sci fi mise en scene presentation: student collection
The mise en scene in science fiction films commonly features futuristic settings like outer space or alien planets. Props often showcase advanced technology through weapons, vehicles, and computers. Costumes may indicate a character's role and can feature bright colors for heroes or dark colors for villains. The lighting is typically low-key and uses colors like blue to set a futuristic tone. Settings establish the narrative and technological progression through their depictions of space, dystopian worlds, or alternate versions of the past and future.
Vladimir propp
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. Propp's theory influenced storytelling and filmmaking by providing a framework for crafting narratives with recognizable characters fulfilling specific functions that drive the plot forward.
Levi strauss’ theory of binary opposites
Levi Strauss' theory of binary opposites proposes that narratives are driven by opposing forces, such as heroes and villains, that are in conflict until a resolution or balance is reached. Some examples of binary opposites include light and dark, good and evil, human and alien. Horror films often use binary opposites, like Paranormal Activity which contrasts the natural and supernatural as well as night and day, and Jennifer's Body which opposes good and evil between the main characters.
TV Drama Codes and Conventions
The document discusses TV drama codes and conventions by comparing the openings of several TV dramas. It analyzes the openings of Neighbours, Hollyoaks, Press, and Killing Eve. Some key elements discussed include title sequences, recaps of previous episodes, themes, characters, and tone set by dramatic scenes, music, and imagery. The document also discusses genre conventions like technical codes, characters, narratives, and challenging genres. It provides examples of how some shows reference or draw from other media through intertextuality.
Conventions of the Comedy Genre
The comedy genre aims to entertain audiences through lighthearted and humorous stories. Some of the earliest forms of comedy included slapstick in silent films. As dialogue was introduced in films in the 1930s, slapstick comedy remained popular. Types of comedy include slapstick using physical humor and gestures, black comedy dealing with darker topics, anecdotal comedy from true short stories, and stand-up comedy with a routine of jokes. Comedies are typically set in bright places like cities and feature vocal and physical humor from characters. The opening credits also have an upbeat soundtrack to set a lighthearted tone.
VladimiVladimir Propp's 7 Character Types and Their Relation to Our Short Film
1) Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who believed there are 7 character types and 31 narrative functions that follow in stories.
2) The 7 character types are the hero, villain, magical helper, donor, dispatcher, princess, and false hero.
3) In the short film, Richard fulfills the roles of helper, dispatcher, and donor as he helps Eve complete her quest and gives her his van. Eve is the hero. Death acts as the villain. The film does not include a false hero.
Conventions of the Gangster Film Genre
The openings of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Rocknrolla, and Layer Cake establish traditional gangster film conventions through settings, costumes, props, and music. Snatch and 44 Inch Chest also utilize these conventions to introduce the gangster characters and criminal plots. Evaluation of the openings provides context clues that tie the films to the gangster genre through rundown urban areas, suits, guns, drugs, money, and voiceovers.
Levi strauss Theory
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist in the early 1900s who developed the theory of binary opposites. He argued that we understand words based on their relationship with their opposite (e.g. hero and villain). Binary opposites are commonly used in storytelling, especially in films, to provide protagonists and antagonists as well as themes of good vs evil. Reality television also employs binary opposites by pairing people with opposing traits, such as beauty and intelligence, to complete challenges.

Todorov's theory and tasks
1) The document discusses Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory, which proposes that all stories follow the same five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and new equilibrium.
2) It uses the story "Holes" by Louis Sachar to illustrate how the main character Stanley experiences each of these five stages throughout the plot.
3) The theory suggests that all narratives involve a main character improving or better understanding themselves through overcoming adversity, and that this mirrors the challenges people face in real life.
Romantic Comedy genre conventions
Romantic comedies, also known as rom coms or chick flicks, feature lighthearted humor and focus on the idea that true love can overcome any obstacles. They typically involve a complicated love story between two protagonists who are meant for each other that ends happily. Directors provide hints that the protagonists are a match, like common interests or constantly bumping into each other. Romantic comedy subgenres include films that adopt extreme circumstances for the characters, explore more serious adult themes, or flip conventions by not providing the expected happy ending.
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.
Comedy Genre Conventions
This document outlines several conventions of comedy genre films. Comedies are typically set in suburban areas like schools and bars that are happy and sunny. 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.
Narrative structure in film
Narrative structure in film refers to how films tell stories through a sequence of events. Films use narrative form to structure stories, with a beginning, middle, and end. Key elements of narrative structure include an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Character development and conflicts between characters, nature, society, or other forces drive the narrative forward. Filmmakers select and order events to craft a plot that tells a version of the complete story in a concise time frame.
Narrative theory
This document provides instructions and information for an assignment on narrative theory. It outlines several key narrative theorists that students are expected to understand, including Todorov, Strauss, Barthes, Propp, and Cameron. For the assignment, students must create a PowerPoint explaining these theorists' concepts and providing examples from films. It provides details on the theorists' ideas, such as Todorov's 5 stages of narrative, Strauss' concept of binary oppositions, Barthes' narrative codes, Propp's character spheres and narrative functions, and Cameron's terms like diegesis and narrative range/depth. Students are instructed to analyze films using these concepts and include examples in their PowerPoint.
Codes and Conventions of British Social Realism
British Social Realism films employ several codes and conventions including location shooting instead of studios, wide shots, non-professional actors, semi-improvised scripts, balancing humor and seriousness, exploring wider social issues through individual stories, and portraying the erosion of regional identities. These techniques aim to portray realistic stories that examine social problems through the lens of personal struggles and triumphs over adversity.
2. Who Are The Characters In Crime Drama?
Crime dramas typically feature three main character types - the detectives or police who solve the crimes (leads, pairs, or ensembles), the criminals who commit the crimes (transient characters), and the victims (also transient). These characters are often represented through stereotypes, with criminals and victims frequently portrayed based on traits like gender, race, and class. The narratives also generally rely on clear binary oppositions between good and evil, heroes and villains, with the detectives opposing the criminals. However, some shows make these distinctions less clear for more complex stories.
Film Genre: Drama

This document discusses various concepts and theories related to narrative structure in films. It begins by defining narrative as "the way in which a story is told". It then discusses common linear narrative structures in Hollywood films and some films that break these conventions using non-linear narratives. Several theorists are discussed, including Levi-Strauss who analyzed how binary oppositions create meaning and propel narratives. Propp identified common character archetypes. Todorov outlined a conventional 5-stage narrative structure that can be simplified to 3 stages - beginning, middle, end. Barthes discussed narrative codes that engage audiences like enigma codes and action codes.
Narrative theory propp[2]
The document discusses Vladimir Propp's analysis of characters in Russian folk tales, in which he identified that all characters can be classified into 7 archetypes, including the hero who goes on a quest, a villain who opposes the hero, a donor who aids the hero, a dispatcher who sends the hero on the quest, a helper who assists the hero, a false hero who tries to take credit, and a prize or reward for completing the quest.

Propps character types
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who developed a theory of character types in narratives. He proposed that there are seven main character types that appear in stories: the hero, the villain, the donor, the princess, the helper, the princess' father, and the false hero. Each character type performs a specific narrative function, such as the hero embarking on a quest or the villain opposing the hero. However, critics argue that Propp's theory does not apply to all stories, as some narratives feature different or more complex character configurations than his proposed types.
Narrative theorys vladimir propp
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who analyzed Russian folk tales and identified 7 character types that commonly appear in narratives. The 7 types are: 1) The hero who leads the narrative and is on a quest. 2) The villain who opposes the hero. 3) The donor who provides help to the hero. 4) The princess who is a love interest or reward. 5) The helper who aids the hero. 6) The princess' father who offers a reward. 7) The false hero who takes credit from the real hero. Propp concluded that most characters can be classified into these 7 types.
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.
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.
Evaluation of gnarrative
1. Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified 31 plot elements and 8 character types that commonly appear.
2. The document compares Propp's theory to the story "The Dragon Princess" and finds examples that fit Propp's character types and plot elements.
3. Additional narrative theories by Todorov and Levi-Strauss are also applied to analyze the story's structure and themes.
Introducing Types of Characters
This document defines and provides examples of different types of characters in stories: the protagonist is the main character driving the story's plot; the antagonist opposes the protagonist; flat characters lack depth while round characters are complex and multi-dimensional; static characters don't change but dynamic characters do change over the course of the narrative. Examples like Shrek and Anakin Skywalker illustrate characters that undergo transformation.
Vladimir propp
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar born in 1895 who believed that all stories contain 7 main character types and follow a structure of 31 narrative functions. He theorized that every story can be broken down into these components, including characters like the hero, villain, donor, and magical helper who each have defined roles that advance the plot. Propp studied how different narratives manipulate these character types and functions to create various story outcomes.
Adventure Film Project
The document provides research on developing an adventure film project. It outlines various storytelling techniques and elements that can be applied, including Todorov's Equilibrium model, Dan Harmon's Story Circle, Propp's character archetypes, and the hero's journey narrative structure. Examples of existing adventure films are analyzed for their use of settings, characters, and plot points. Potential story ideas are generated exploring themes of villains threatening environments, advanced mech technology, and international computer hacking rings. Overall, the document serves as a reference for crafting an adventure narrative and highlighting influential storytelling models.
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.

Key character in soap opera - Vladimir Propp
This is an PowerPoint that explains who Vladimir Propp was, what his ideology was and how is idea is still used in modern film making and in the soap opera Genre.
Propp's Character Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed folk tales and identified 8 main character types that help move the narrative forward. These include the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess/prize, and her father. Propp argued we should view characters by their narrative function rather than as real people. The document then discusses how some of these character types, such as the hero, villain, donor, and helper, apply to the horror genre and film The Conjuring specifically.
Character theory
Vladimir Propp was a literary scholar who proposed that narratives follow specific character archetypes. His theory identified eight common character types including the hero, villain, helper, and princess. The hero's main goal is to defeat the villain and win the princess. Propp argued these character types appear in all fairy tales and influence successful storytelling.
Propp’s Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed 100 stories and found that they all contained 8 main character types that fulfilled specific functions to advance the plot, regardless of their individual differences. These 8 types are the hero, villain, princess, donor, helper, princess' father, false hero, and dispatcher. While Propp's theory focused on fairy tales, it is debatable how well the 8 character types apply to horror stories, which typically lack a clear hero and happy ending.
Narrative Structure Components
1) Vladimir Propp analyzed folk tales and identified 31 plot elements that commonly recur, as well as 8 character types that frequently appear, such as the hero, villain, helper, and dispatcher.
2) Tzvetan Todorov and Claude Levi-Strauss proposed structural theories of narratives, including the idea that stories typically follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, then new equilibrium, and that they involve the interplay of binary oppositions.
3) Narrative structures can be categorized based on attributes like being open or closed, single-strand or multi-strand, linear or non-linear, and realist or anti-realist. The story of Rumpelstiltskin exhibits several

Character type Vladimir Propp.pptx
- 1. Propp’s character types Vladimir Propp wanted to understand the patterns that lay beneath narratives. He established seven different character types that crop up regularly in stories. ▪ Hero – undertakes a journey or a quest. ▪ Villain – attempts to thwart or kill the hero. ▪ Donor – gives the hero advice or a useful object. ▪ Helper – a friend who helps the hero in their quest. ▪ Princess – acts as motivation and reward for the quest. ▪ Dispatcher – sends the hero on their quest. ▪ False hero – one who turns on the hero and is ultimately punished.
- 2. Propp’s character types Note: Not all character types will appear in all stories, and some characters may take on more than one role in the narrative.
- 3. NARRATIVE THEORY PROPP AND CHARACTER TYPES
- 4. LESSON OBJECTIVES ● To learn the theory of Propp. ● To apply this theory to a film I have seen.
- 5. STARTER QUESTION ● What is a possible link between these characters?
- 6. VLADIMIR PROPP ● Propp was a Russian scholar who analysed the basic plot components of Russian folk tales to identify their narrative elements. ● He concluded that all the characters could be resolved into 7 character types.
- 7. 1. THE HERO ⦿Leads the narrative, is usually looking for something - a quest, or trying to solve something- a mystery. Does not have to be male. Example: Batman from Batman
- 8. 2. THE VILLAIN ● Has a conflict with the hero and tries to stop them from succeeding. Example: The Joker from Batman
- 9. 3. THE DONOR ● Gives the hero something - a clue, a talisman, a special power - which helps them complete their quest. Example: Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars
- 10. 4. THE PRINCESS ● Is usually a prize or reward for the hero. If the hero is female, there can be a price but this is unusual. Example: Princess Fiona from Shrek
- 11. 5. THE HELPER ● Helps the hero, often acts as a sidekick Example: Donkey from Shrek
- 12. 6. THE PRINCESS’ FATHER ● An authority figure who offers a reward to the hero for completing their quest. That reward might be a prince, a princess or in more modern narratives, a new car. Example: The Sultan from Aladdin
- 13. 7. THE FALSE HERO ● The false hero takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess. Example: Prince Charming from Shrek
- 14. MAIN ACTIVITY ● For C1 Task 2 look at your character types ● What are the stock character types ● Mention them using Vladimir Propp’s character type
