Propp & Todorov Trailer Example

Introduction:

In this post i am going to be analysing a movie trailer for a film which has not yet been released. I am going to highlight the different character roles which Propp states in his theory and also i am going to bring Todorovs different stages of equilibrium into it as well. I am going to be analysing the hunger games : mockingjay.

Propp:


  • Hero - Katniss Everdeen
  • Villain - President Snow (The Capitol)
  • Donor - The Nuclear District (All Of The Left Over Nuclear Material)
  • Dispatcher - President Coin (Leader Of The Rebellion)
  • Helper - Gale & Other Members Of The Rebellion.
  • Prince - Peeta Mellark (Her Husband)
Todorov:

Equilibrium:
Katniss is content with life after winning the hunger games however she just wants her sister Primm to be safe.

Significant Event/Disruption:
She finds out that the capitol has her husband Peeta and decides to go after him, stopping at nothing to reach him.

Climax:
After fighting with the rebellion she manages to get Peeta back from the capitol and president snow.

New Equilibrium:
She has Peeta back and returns to live a happy life in district 13.
