I am going to research the following theorist: Vladimir, Tzvetan Tordorov ,Claude Levi-strauss and the Roland Barthers .
Vladmir was a Russian was a Russian film critic and he came up with a Theory called the 7 Character Roles believes that there are 7 different types of characters involved in order to have a successful drama. The Villain is an important character as it is always in confrontation with the hero. Another character is magical helper this helps create the hero. Another character that Vladimir thought is important is the Princess and the hero has to try to save the her. In the end the hero and princess end up happy ever after. His theory created about fairy tales and examples where this theory is adapted is Romeo and Juliet.
Tzvetan Tordorov is a Belgium theorist; he believes that characters should be set in a fictional scene. In order for it to be successful there must be disruption within the scene in order to create a story. He also believes that characters must solve a problem, in order for there to be a hero to be created.
Claude Levi-straus is French theorist and he left a legacy with his knowledge; came up with the Binary Opposition, he believed that it is important to understand a meaning of a world. He believes that words have two meanings against them. An example of this , would be left and right and front and back .
Roland Barthes has created the 5 codes to make an successful narrative. He believes that the story should not be fully explained. The Proaretic Code is there must be tension in order for there to be tension to be created. The semantic Code is the story must have some meaning behind it . Another code he created is The Symbolic Code it is similar to another code however there is more drama and enthusiasm added. The last code is the Culture Code the narrative piece can include an element or science to make it seem realistic .

Digetic and Non -Digetic Sound
Why is sound in important in a TV drama ?
Digetic sound is an sound that would relate to what is on the screen .The sound that we hear is what we are expected to hear ;if an character was talking then sound would come out of the characters mouth . Another example is if a plate was to fall on to the ground then there would be a smashing sound.
Non - Digetic Sound is the sound that the viewer does not expect to hear, it is a non-visible sound .An example of a non-digectic sound is music that is added in the background , that would not be there originally . In addition an narrator talking about what is happening within the scene , is not an original sound therefore is a non-digetic.
Sound is an important element within in a TV drama , as the sound is associated with the type of genre . The Science Fiction drama that I watched had a space music therefore I was able to associate it with the genre . The sound within Doctor Who made the TV drama seem more realistic , as there was use of explosions .The screaming children helped to indicate to me that there was something scarey going on . Another scene within Doctor Who involved a man with chains on his legs , it was clear that he was a criminal , it helped me draw my attention the man . There was a sound of lighting this could indicate to me that there is danger and something dramatic is going to happen.
To conclude this essay sound has an important role within a TV drama because it helps make the audience feel as if there are present within the scene. Sound is important because it can make an TV drama feel more realistic .
