Micro Drama

• In my micro drama we used part of a narrative theory from a person called Vladimir Propp using the 7 different character types:



1) The villain
2) The donor
3) The (magical) helper
4) The princess and her father
5) The dispatcher
6) The hero or victim/seeker hero
7) False hero

What Happened: In my micro drama we didn't use all 7 different character types but we did use 4 of them. Firstly we used the VILLAIN character type who beats up the VICTIM and takes his phone, then you see the VILLAIN get into a fight with the HERO who eventually gets the phone back to give back to the VICTIM. Finally the VILLAIN gets back up and runs towards the HERO with a weapon, but suddenly a boy comes out of know where and kicks the weapon out of the VILLA N's hand so overall he is the FALSE HERO.

What i learnt: From my micro drama i have learnt how the use of the different character types makes a big impression on your film because it gives a wide range of characters and they all link in some way or another and they make a great storyline which makes it easy to follow. Producing this micro drama i have also learnt the basic skills on how to edit on the software we used which was "imovie 06". However since producing it i realise that the editing was not very good because it was the first time i had done any kind of editing and i didn't have a clue how to use the software.



Above there is a picture of Darth Vader and Luke Sky walker; you can immediately tell which on is the VILLAIN and which one is the VICTIM/HERO. Propps narrative theory also shows how you can identify the characters by there appearance.
