Protagonsits: These people are the heros of the story, the lead narrative whos the one who carrys out whatever quest has been set for them
Antagonst: These are the villans of our story. They try to prevent the Protagonist from completeing his or her quest
Heroine: This is the prize of the protaginists quest. Usually a woman, this is the damsal in distress of the story
Father: This character is the person who supplys the support and guidance to the Protagonist and often offers the reward (The Heroine).
Helper: The aid to the Protagonist. Easiest example of this is Donkey in the film Shrek. They help the protagonist complete their quest.
Donor: These characters give the protagonists something, be it physical or moral/intellectual guidance, to help them complete the final bit of their quest.
Following on from this, we were then asked to write up our own synopsis of a film, mentioning all these types of characters based upon the features of a single picture. I chose this picture (above) to write up my synopsis of a film. Looking at this, it looks like a typical hard-core action film, where the baddy interrogates the goody. The scene here I associate with this idea of thinking and so built up a possible film synopsis for how this scene could eventually be incorporated into it:
The mans name is John Brice. He's 67, divorced with two grown up daughters and just retired from working at the C.I.A. He knows every secret America holds and would be a serious security threat if he talked. Hence why now he's retired from the C.I.A, the C.I.A are trying to retire him. He will have to break every rule he has every abided by to save not only his own life, but also his closet family.
Protagonist: John Brice
Antagonist: Bruce Fawkes (C.I.A Operative)
Heroine: John's Daughters
Father: John Brice
Helper: N/A
Donor: Lewis Day (Old comrade)
