Levi Strauss, Tzventan Todorov & Vlamdimir Propp

Levi Strauss?
He suggests that it is not the content of myths, but their structure. He says myth is a language because it has to be told in order to exist. A myth is set in the past and is timeless, it's more complex level than language.
Myths shares with language the following characteristics:
1. It's made up of unitd that are put together according to cetain rules.
2. These units dorm relationships with eachother, based on opposites which provide the basis of the structure.

Tzventan Todorov?
Hed simplified the idea of narrative theory whilst also allowing a more complex interpretation of film yexys with his theory of Equilibrium and Disequilibrium.
The theory is simply this:
-The fictional enivronment begins with a state of equilibrium(everything as it should be)
-It then suffers some distruption(disequilibrium)
-New equilibrium is produced at the end of the narrative.

Vlamdimir Propp?
He investigated traditional stories and suggested that there are set characters, a limited number of plots, and spheres of action. The characters are:
-The villain — struggles against the hero.
-The donor — prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.
-The (magical) helper — helps the hero in the quest.
-The princess and her father — gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father can not be clearly distinguished.
-The dispatcher — character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.
-The hero or victim/seeker hero — reacts to the donor, weds the princess.
-[False hero] — takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.
Todorov talks about narrative based, my video would be pretty similar as most videos start of happy then somehting happens which makes it sad and then at the end everything is resoloved and it's happy again, with my video it would start of sad and then there will be happy flash backs as well as flashbacks of arguments and then at the end it will all resolved by the main character deciding to leave the male character.
Propps character types will be used in my video , the princess will be the main female character (Bianca) and the male character(Chris) could be the villain as he will be cheating on Bianca.
The Propp plot for my video could be girl meets boy but boy doesn't appreciate her so she leaves.
