stop motion, storytelling, magic, elements of a story, Vladmir Propp.

There is something about magic that wins everyone's heart. A mystical world of harry potter or characters like the hobbits. According to the one of the most renowned story tell of all time Vladimir Propp, these stories have almost the same structure, the story line may differ but the morphology of the story can still have some certain defined sections like:

1. Prohibition

2. Breaking the prohibition

3. consequences and damages faced

4. Donor: provides knowledge of the unknown dilemma and path to victory

5. Villain: the evils with immense power which when when tackled might lead to victory

6. Victory: the a

7. the going back to normal

8. but the second climax: everything didn't go back to normal

9. The false hero: He takes/gets the credit

10. The actual hero: the reveal of the the truth

11. A merry image towards stability

Most of the stories comprise of these elements. they might not have all of them but some of these combined to create the narrative. What is very interesting is that when we break down existing stories to analyse the plot, we can easily find these elements. My team created and a story inspired by the same.
