- Our video will tell a story
- It is scripted
- It has characters - Our video will have some of Propp's Character types. "Protaganist" (the main character on a night out). "Antagonist" (the man who eventually "steals" the main character's girlfriend) and then "The Princess" (the main character's ex girlfriend). You could also possibly count the main character's drunken friends as the "Sidekick"
- It has a setting
- Elipsis - Not in real time
- Enigma - Questions will be raised within our video to keep the audience interested. Why did the couple break up? Will they get back together, etc. Roland Barthes theory
- Resolution - The end of the film brings a "new equilibrium"
- Binary Oppositions - the competition between our main character and the "new man" could fit in with Claude Levi Strausse's theory that most structures work better and prove more entertaining when there isconflict between opposing sides
Features Within our Video That Challenge The Narrative Rules
- It is not a Linear Narrative, there will be flashbacks
- It doesnt really fit in with Todorov's structure theory, the entire video appears to be the "new equilibrium"
