Todorov suggests that there is a common narrative structure:The Quest - hero challenges evil, saves the daughter/holy grail (LOTR, The Raid)
*Redemption - character has sinned, tries to redeem self (Hummingbird)
Journey to Another World (Ferris Bueller)
Beast Transformed by Love
*Solving of Riddles (Zodiac, Silence of the Lambs)The Biter-bit - the oppressed rise and throw off tyrants (V For Vendetta)
The Stranger Saviour (Fistful of Dollars, Django Unchained)
*The Rise and Fall (American Hustle)
This is an aspect to consider in formulating a narrative for our trailer
*Especially relevant to our genre and its conventions
