In our portfolio project with my group we would like to integrate is Character Theory by Vladimir Propp which says that "characters can be classified into specific roles" and that there are 7 different types of characters.
There is a hero who is the protagonist, a villain who is the antagonist, the dispatcher who sends the protagonist on their journey, helper who aids protagonist, donor who provides the protagonist to help them succeed, the princess which is the reward or the motivation for the protagonist, and finally the false hero.
We want to use this theory because our story is very stereotypical when it comes to good guy and bad guy. So the protagonist is the main character who is the guy getting tormented by the antagonist which in our case is the demon.
In horror movies the character theory is used to make certain characters seem more vulnerable so they are the victim to the actions caused by the villain.
I looked at this paper to get my idea for our media theory, I did some research on the rest to really choose which one was best for our horror movie film opening.
