Exploring Narrative Theories:

Original narrative outline:

Dad has just been released from prison after several years inside, all because of football related violence he hasn't been able to see his son for a long period of time. He is finally released however little did he know that his son is following in his footsteps of becoming a football hooligan. The father wants his son to stop(he then has a flashback to when he was apart of the firm), as he knows the trouble and violence that is involved in the modern game. The father makes him promise to never get involved with the 'wolf pack' (a violent group of hooligans) again. He promises his dad. But when its match day its a different story! The son creeps out and visits his so called 'family' the wolf pack, the same group as what his father used to be 'top boy' at. Particular members of the group never used to like the fathers as he was in charge of everything, so they seek revenge on him and know that the only way to achieve this is to get at his young son. The trailer will end when the young boy is chased into an area where there is no exit. It will then jump to the credits and the film name.

Re-write using narrative theories:

In order to relate with Cameron's episodic or dual narrative i would need to focus on the dad and/or son's viewpoint this will make my audience see the connection between them.

I would like to perhaps include Propp's 7 characters, theoretically i would need 7 actors, however i would plan to use objects rather than actors for some roles. For example:

1. The Hero: The dad would be the hero due to him trying his hardest to get his son on the right track.
2. The Villain: The dad could be this due to the fact that he is trying to prevent his son from being an active member in the firm, although he may be doing the right thing.
3. The Doner: A photo album could do this as it will bring back memories to the father about how his son has changed and how he has been a bad role model.
4. The Helper: This could be someone who the father is text messaging asking for advice etc.
5. The Princess: This could also be a male character, i think it would be the son. As he feels most threatened by his father due to him wanting to stop being a partaker in football violence.
6. The Dispatcher: Could almost be the flash backs that the father will be having about what he used to do when he was his sons age.
7. The False Hero: I feel would not fit in trailer at this stage

Todorov:
Todorov's theory is that there is a template followed by all films etc. This is what he feels is included in each film:

1. The narrative starts in a state of equilibrium: stable, balanced unchanging system, this applies to my trailer due to the fact that I plan to have my two characters apart at the beginning, due to the father coming out of prison and the son leaving the house for football. 
2. An action or character disrupts the equilibrium, for instance as the father has just come out of prison, he will now find out that his son is following in his footsteps, resulting in the father wanting to change his sons routine.
3. Following recognition of the disruption, a quest is set in order to restore equilibrium. This is much the case in my trailer, as the father will receive a text message or will be notified that his son, is following in his shoes.
4. The narrative moves to confrontation/climax: there is an attempt to repair the disruption, likewise in my trailer whereby the father makes his son promise he will stop going to cause trouble at football. 
5. Resolution/equilibrium is restored and reinstated. This mildly applies to my trailer however the resolution will be the son being chased by members of the firm however the ending is not revealed meaning it will end of a cliffhanger.
