Lesson Objective At the end of this lesson you will be able to identify key character roles using a media theory.

Unit Objective At the end of this unit you will have produced a film review.

Starter In the films that you have seen, or books that you’ve read, what are the key characters that you can identify? For example, there is usually a hero.

Today we are going to look at a media theory put forth by Vladamir Propp. He believed that in every text the following character roles can be seen. We will use his ideas to explore different media texts.

Propp’s Character Roles THE HERO SEEKS SOMETHING THE VILLAIN OPPOSES THE HERO THE DONOR GIVES SOMETHING USEFUL TO THE HERO THE DISPATCHER SENDS THE HERO ON A QUEST THE FALSE HERO THE HELPER SUPPORTS THE HERO THE PRINCESS ( A REWARD FOR THE HERO, SHE NEEDS PROTECTING FROM THE VILLAIN) HER FATHER Type notes here

Can you think of any stories that use Propp’s characters?

For the next two lessons we are going to watch the film Stormbreaker to explore Propp’s theory. Using the worksheet provided, fill in details and information about the characters, including which role(s) you think they fulfil.
