Theories that'll apply to my Trailer

I spent an hour or two thinking more about the conventions in crime thrillers and which theorists theories would associate well with my trailer. I've come up with these in particular:

Levi Strauss' Theory - Binary Opposition:This theory applies to a majority of trailers, especially so in Crime Thrillers. The main binary opposition in my trailer would be that of 'good vs evil' - which occurs between the main protagonist - Katherine - and the 'unnamed' antagonist.

Propp's Theory - Conventional 'fairytale' characters: Although I don't necessarily have a great deal of characters in my trailer, I do somewhat follow this theory. In my trailer, I have; a hero(ine), a villain, a damsel-in-distress and the hero(ine)'s helpers. Despite my trailer clearly not being a fairytale, these conventional characters do fit within my film. 

Barthes Theory - Hermeneutic and Proairetic: 
In my trailer specifically, The Hermeneutic code somewhat fits because there's intriguing elements to my trailer that aren't really explained, which interests the audience and creates an element of mystery. This keeps the audience hooked and wanting to know more. Some elements are explained by the end of the trailer, others aren't, which further peaks the interest of the audience. 
The Proairetic code fits because tension and suspense are key elements in a Crime Thriller. This theory in particular refers to the narratives action that keeps the audience pondering on the main mystery. Both of the codes theorized by Barthes are included to keep the tension flowing throughout and keep a firm hold of the audiences interest. 

Todorov's theory - Equilibrium, Disequilibrium and Back to Equilibrium:
This theory, although it would be somewhat present in the film, isn't shown entirely in my trailer. The reason for this is because the main convention in Crime Thrillers is keeping the mystery unsolved until the end. Since the plot centers around a missing girl- giving away whether there would be a happy Back to Equilibrium or a bad one would ruin the mystery of the film, therefore I aim to keep it as vague but intriguing as possible. My trailer also begins at the disequilibrium rather than the equilibrium, which I felt important as it gets straight into the films narrative, with the back-story given to the audience as the film progresses, which is key to revealing the mystery.
