vladimir-propp-55

Vladimir Propp was a scholar who analyzed the components of the basic plots of Russian folk fairytales to identify the narrative elements. He broke up fairy tales into three sections from which he could define the series of sequences in Russian fairytales.

From his work he descovered that in every story there are 8 different types of characters.
These include – the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess and her father.

However Propp did say that these characters didn’t all have to be different people, 1 person could be 2 characters. Furthermore Propp said that there were only 31 things the 8 characters could ever do. Once the character is defined, you can easily predict what the actions of the character are, for example the hero falls in love with the princess and defeats the villan.

Linking this with the music videos, it may not be possible to include all the characters Propp has stated, because music videos are extremely short films, however we could introuduce the few main characters in detail.
