Analysis of Narrative our Media Production

Roland Barthes enigma code links at the end of the film when our character see's someone getting beaten up.therefore the mystery of the film starts in regards to why is someone getting beaten up and what is his connection towards our hero.

 Propps theory further comes into play when our, our main character falls into the 31 functions films put out.

Our character Damien becomes the 27th function where he is recognised as the hero, because as you can see in the opening he decides to go back into the alleyway and help out our victim.
Who conforms to number 8 of Propp theory where the villain, I.E. being the two thugs trying to steal from our victim , is trying to cause harm.

It could be argued that our film could very well fall into the levi Strauss theory of binary opposition where in our character opening, Damien is just trying live a reasonable normal life, where he escapes gang culture however as the conflict becomes aware to him in the opening ,we see, that he takes a brief moment to consider what action he should take, as we see he clearly chooses to accept the opposite of living a reasonable life and decides to enter the world of gang culture by helping the victim from the villain. And therefore conforms to propp theory of hero and villain joining in direct combat.

Todorov's theory links in with our opening scene as the equilibrium was when out main character was walking and then the disequilibrium occurred towards the end when the main character went back to help the victim in the alley way. The resolution would of occurred when the victim is saved.
