- Vladimir Propp created a theory on archetypal characters of 'the hero' , 'the villain' , 'the false hero' etc. These archetypal roles take very clear distinct roles where the hero adopts the role of the protagonist and is the leading character who works against the 'villain' who is the antagonist.
- With regards to our own trailer, we used this theory because we wanted to consider standard rules of character archetypes within film so that we would be able to subvert the conventions of a stereotypical Hollywood film because we were developing a hybrid / urban drama film.
- Our 'hero' possesses criminal qualities therefore also contains characteristics of a 'villain' showing how we have subverted the conventions of characters to fit our teaser trailer.
