Narrative: most, according to Propp, film narratives follow this structure:
Equilibrium – disequilbrium – a new state of equilibrium
According to Propp again, there are certain characters in films and stories with certain functions:
the hero – the one on the quest and the one who saves the day
the villain – the evil one who causes the disequilbrium
the helper – a person who helps the hero on their quest/the sidekick
the victim – at the mercy of the villain
the donor – someone who has something special which will help the hero
In our film we can relate this as we use a hero being the male dominant character and the villian being most obviously the killer the victim is the female character.
