When researching the narrative theorists I quickly realised that a lot of the theories fitted to our groups narrative for our film task. For example, Propp's theory of having 8 stereotypical characters matches our characters as we have a villan (the bullies), a princess (the girl crush) and a prince (the main nerdy character who gets the princess in the end) With Todorov our equilibrium is the main male character getting on fine in life, the disruption is him getting invited to the Reunion and embarassing himself and the re-equilibirum is getting the girl and the school bullies becoming nice. Strauss's binary opposition theory takes place also with evil vs good and female vs male.
So through this task I've discovered these theories still relate to the media nowadays even though they were created in the late 20th century they still take place and help create big hollywood blockbusters.
