Character Profiles & Conventions

Due to the fact that I am challenging the conventions of the thriller genre by using a one-man cast, this means that other things will not appear in my trailer as much as others - for example, Propps character functions. The only character type in my trailer is the presumed hero role which is my main characters, although he doesn't do anything in the trailer actually shows he is the hero role and therefore people will more than likely just assume that he is even though I do not necessarily give it away. In the trailer, there are supernatural happening all around the main character and therefore people know that these happening are the work of the villain of the story, however, the villain is not actually shown in my work as I want to carry on following basic thriller and horror conventions by leaving mystery in the narrative. Arguably, I have the hero and the villain which are the main classic binary opposites, said by Levi Strauss. By missing out many of Propps characters my work will not be affected as modern day films cannot always be applied to theories that were produced many years ago.
