Narrative Theory

After  my analysis  of narrative theory i found that  Todorov is the easiest to base my plot around however producing a zombie trailer makes the re-achieving equilibrium challenging as the zombies are not cured, instead it is creating a new equilibrium to live in a world with zombies. Although  in a trailer i will not have to show an ending as that would reveal to much of the plot which through audience research i found that most people like limited plot so the are enticed to watch the end.  Levi Struss is a easy narrative theory to place in as there is the contrast of human to zombies, similar to good and bad. In my trailer i want to play a twist on Propp's theory by having my protagonist as a female and a princess character remains female, to create interest in a modern  audience. I will also add characters such as the helper to aid the hero. In a trailer it is hard to show Bathes theory as that is a main feature and twist with in the film however this should not be revealed in the trailer as that twist is intended in the full film and including Barthes in the trailer runs the risk of revealing to much plot and content.
