Propp
His idea is that characters drive the narrative, he also analysed russian folk tales by their structure, that had the typical 'happily ever after' that is used in hollywood films and Disney films.
He had 8 main types of characters:
-heros the protagonist
-villain the antagonist
-princess
-father
-dispatcher
-donor
-sidekick
-false hero
Barthes
His idea of the Narrative is that it is a series of codes that are read an understood by the audience of the piece of media.
his series of codes were as follows:
-action code
This is an action that means that the audience already knows what is happening by, whats on the screen, e.g. someone on a wheelchair tells us they are disabled.
-enigma code
something that creates the audience to be intrigued, because a key fact is hidden.
-semic code
something the audience recoginses through connotations.
-symbolic code
something that symbolizes a more abstract concept.
-cultural code
something that is read due to cultural awareness.
Todorov
Todorov's theory is about the idea that a story start with some sort of an equilibrium (everyday life, something that sets scene.), and leads into disruption (a complication that stars after the equilibrium.). Then conflict (which is the climax, where the problem is being solved.) which then leads into a resolution (where the problem is sorted). Finally leading to an equilibrium that was different from the first (this is a pleasing ending, where things go back to normal, but its a new normal.)
Levi-Strausse
His idea of the narrative was that it was created by binary opposites.
For example- love&hate, black&white, good&evil.
