vladimir propp

Born on 17 April 1895, Vladimir Propp was a Russian literacy critic who suggested in his books that a certain character was to be used in every narrative structure. There was 8 types of characters that he said were to be in every narrative:
-The villain- the main enemy of the protagonist.
-The dispatcher- makes the villains evil known to the hero.
-The helper- helps the hero throughout the story.
-The princess or prize- the outcome of the story usually ending in winning or marrying the princess.
-The donor -prepares the hero or gives them a magical object.
-The hero or victim -usually the main character and a large part of the story. They are supported by the audience and usually end up on top at the end of the narrative.
-False hero -takes credit for the hero's actions.

But the title made a spark in my imagination I created the idea that I could make a short film in which there is a troll living under a bridge. everyone sees the troll as a bad person and everyone tries to stay as far away from him as possible. one day a young guy sees the troll and asks him to go into town with him. He is first really anxious to leave the bridge but when he agrees to leave he has a great time with his newly made friend. he is looked at with disgust and people are pointing and laughing at him which is a shot that I could do from the trolls perspective to add to the mise en scene. In the end, the troll manages to save his friend by either saving him from being hit by a car or falling off of something. one other idea I also had was that I could introduce a troll hunter that is out to get the troll ...
