we can apply Propp's theory to sky fall, the princes would be the girl who is tied up with the shot glass on her head as she is the one who is need of a hero and needs saving, the hero that would be saving her would be bond as he is unwilling to fire the gun in case he hits the girl ad he tries to save her. The blonde man is seen as the villain as he is the one who ties the girl up and wants to cause havoc and death. Another theory that links in to propp is strause's ideas of binary opposes, in this scene we have the representation of good verses evil
We can also apply todorov as there is equilibrium when the scene stars as the two men are walking up to where the tied up girl is, once the girl gets shot and killed this creates disequilibrium and the only way to reinstate it is for bond to get justice. Through out this scene we are overloaded with many enigma codes such as, who is the girl, is she just random or does she mean a lot to bond? Why is she tied up and why does she have to be killed surely bond would be in distress if he knew her and she was tied up with out having to kill her? The genre of this clip is action we can tell this by the usage of long shots to give us an idea of the scenery also the close up clips of the actors faces as they are very serious and there expression can give a lot of insight to the genre of the clip. also there is a lot of fighting which is very iconic to stereotypical action films again to link in with the fighting all the men in the scene are carrying guns, so even before the fighting starts we can tell this clip is going to be hostile and there are going to be many casualties and even deaths
