Vladmir Propp's Character Theory

Example: James bond - skyfall

- The villain - Raoul Silva
- The dispatcher - Character who makes the villain evil known and send the hero off - M 
- The helper - Eve Moneypenny
- The princess or the prize - Bond's Lover
- The donor - M

The 31 Narratemes:
In my film Ronnie boyle is the hero as it is her perspective and she explains the story with flashbacks. Mohammed brake is the princess who is in love with her and wants to marry her. This is ironic as the genders have been swapped around - the hero is a female and the princess is a male. Tamsyns dad played the role of the villain who prevents the marriage taking place by giving mohammed lots of money and telling ronnie that mohammed is dead. the radio plays the part of a dispatcher as mohammed does an interview on the radio of his ugly successful company which is named after ronnie and she recognises the name and listens to him speak.
