7. PROPPS THEORY
Spheres of Action: Vladimir Propp states there are seven 'spheres of action' which characters can be well .... characterized to. These spheres are catergorised as the hero, villain, donor, helper, princess (though this can be exchanged for a prince), dispatcher and false hero. Not all spheres of action are needed to be addressed for a film as its also well to note characters can portray more than one sphere and vice versa, spheres can be composed of several characters.
