The document summarizes a story about a group of girls (Jessica, Alice, Ellie, Hazel & Phoebe) who are being followed by a man in black clothing. According to Todorov's theory, Ellie would be the protagonist and agent of change. The man in black would be the villain opposing the girls. Following Propp's model, Ellie would be the hero seeking to get home safely with her friends. They help each other escape, acting as helpers to overcome the villain. Apart from one girl, they manage to get away safely, achieving the resolution.

3. Vladimir Propp- character functions
Theory The Following
The hero (seeks something) The girls (Jessica, Alice, Ellie, Hazel &
Phoebe) will act as heroes but the main
protagonist will be Ellie
The villain (opposes the hero) Man in black following them
The donor (helps the hero by
providing a magic object)
There isn’t one
The dispatcher (sends the hero
on his way)
There isn’t one
The false hero (falsely assuming
the role of hero)
There isn’t one
The helper (gives support to the
hero)
They’re all hero’s together because
they’ll support each other
The princess (the reward for the
hero, but also needs protection
from the villain)
There isn’t one. Their reward will be
their safety

4. Location includes the historical moment in
time and geographic location in which a
story takes place, it help sets the main
backdrop and mood for the story. For
example if the setting was a dark woods
then the audience will know the film is going
to be a horror or something bad is about to
happen because you connote dark woods
with bad scary things.

5. By having a genre for a film it sets up the
narrative because with different genre’s you
associate different events and things which
are most likely to happen. For example, if
the film was a comedy the audience will
know that there are going to jokes and
scene which will make them laugh. Another
example could be if you went to see a
romance film, the plot will be about following
two peoples love story etc.
