Narrative theory

Todorov: Equilibrian
Todorov suggests that all narratives are from three part structures

Equilibrium>Disequilibrium>New equilibrium

Todorov stated that all narratives start off with an Equilibrium and then a disruption "Disequilibrium"where everything is back to normal and and calm and peaceful as before. 
In my case study Hunger Games, I can apply this theory because, at the start there is an Equilibrium when Katniss lives in a society where the young people from lots of different districts are sent off to fight in the annual Hunger Games. The Disequilibrium occurs when her sister is chosen and she volunteers to go in her place. This means she has to learn fighting skills and become skilled enough to survive. The New Equilibrium will come  and everything then gets back to normal when she is successful in her mission.

Propp's character types can be seen in this trailer:
Hero- This is Katniss because as she is the main star who trys to save the 12 districts from a very bad quality of living , goning out to fight till deawth every year.

 Antagonist: This is the same as a villan and in the hungergames the villan is president snow who is this very cold cruel character.

Heroine:Usually some sort of prize for the Hero's in the hunger games the hero's the get a house as a prize but they cant ever live in that house as they have to mentor the new tributes forever.

Father:In the Hunger Games the father is also like the villain is like the father who gives the reward of finding the badder villain and giving Katniss Everdeen a house.

Helper :In this film the helper is Peter Melark who help katniss through her journey and Katniss starts to fall in love with him after getting to know him.

Donor:In this film Haymitch (Peter and katniss mentor) is the donor who gives them things they may need to survive in the games.

Mentor:In this film the mentor is Haymitch who helps to train them.

Barthes: enigma and action codes

Barthes argues that every narrative has enigma codes and action codes enigma codes are some questions the audience would ask after watching the trailer and in the Hunger Game the audience may  ask will katniss and peter survive.

Barthes action code is when films begin very calm and peaceful but then end up very action pact for example people may start running for their lives that may make the audience think the characters are in great trouble.
