Basic Proppian flow of the film

The basis of the storyline has been decided after research on the analysis of Propp. The chapters that will be implemented in the story are (in order) :

1. Absentation : A member of a family leaves the security of the home environment. This may be the hero or some other member of the family that the hero will later need to rescue. This division of the cohesive family injects initial tension into the storyline. The hero may also be introduced here, often being shown as an ordinary person.
2. Mediation: Misfortune or lack is made known, (hero is dispatched, hears call for help etc./ alternative is that victimised hero is sent away, freed from imprisonment). The hero now discovers the act of villainy or lack, perhaps finding their family or community devastated or caught up in a state of anguish and woe.
3. Interdiction: An interdiction is addressed to the hero ('don't go there', 'don't do this'). The hero is warned against some action (given an 'interdiction').
4. Branding: Hero is branded (wounded/marked, receives ring or scarf)
5. Receipt of a magical agent: Hero acquires use of a magical agent (directly transferred, located, purchased, prepared, spontaneously appears, eaten/drunk, help offered by other characters);
6. Hero's reaction/Punishment: Hero reacts to actions of future donor/ Villain is punished
7. Transfiguration: Hero is given a new appearance.

The above are only descriptions of Propp for the specific functions. The storyline will be explained in a following post.
