- Hero The person who sets out to restore the equilibrium. Victim Hero the hero who is the centre of the villain's attention. Seeker Hero who aids others who are the villain's victims.
- Villan the character who creates the narrative disruption.
- Helper aids the hero in the task of restoring the equilibrium.
- Donor gives the hero something it may be an object, information or advise to help the hero.
- Princess/ Victim usually the character most threatened by the villain and has been saved, at the climax, by the hero. The father's (who in fairy tales was often the king) role has usually to give the princess away to the hero at the narrative's conclusion.
- Dispatcher sends the hero on her or his task. (typically can be the princess father)
- False Hero appears to be good but is revealed, at the narrative's end to have been bad.

Now that I have looked at the Narrative Theory I will use it in my Trailer to have the different characters people expect so that it sticks to conventions. In most Horror trailers however they do not use all of the conventional characters, they mainly stick to the Hero/ False Hero, Princess's, Donors and Helpers.
