- The narrative starts with an equilibrium
- An action or character disrupts that equilibrium
- A quest to restore the equilibrium begins
- the narrative continues to a climax
- Resolution occurs and equilibrium is restored
When applying this to a music video points 1,2 and 5 are the most relevant.
Propp's seven character theory
The hero
The Villain
The doner/enabler
The Helper
The princess
The false hero
The dispatcher.
Usually there is always one of these characters in a media text however they don't have to be literal as the villain in a post apocalyptic film could be the elements, similar to The Book of Eli the dispatcher is God as he told him to carry the book to safety.
