Kate Domaille (2001)-  'Every story can be fitted into one of eight narratives, each narrative type has a source, an original story upon which the others are based:'
Achilles-Fatal/flow
Candide- Indomitable hero who cannot be put down e.g. James Bond
Cinderella- Dream comes true
Circe- The Chase
Faust- Selling your sould to the devil may bring riches but eventually your soul belongs to him e.g. bedazzled
Orpheus- Loss of something personal e.g. Lord of the Rings
Romeo & Juliet- True Love Story e.g. Titanic
Tristan and Isuelt- The love Triangle- Man loves woman unfortunately one or both are spoken  for, or thrid party intervenes e.g. Casablanca

There are 7 broad character types:

Joseph Campbell (1949)- 'Underlying structure of Iconography themes, concepts and narrative structure that is common to the religions, myths and legend of almost every culture in the world.'

Andrew Goodwin (1992)- 'Narrative relations are highly complex and meaning can be created ferom the individual audio-viewers, Musical personal taste to sophisticated intertexuality that uses multidiscursive phenomena of western culture.'

Structure types are very important as it can affect shots used and the location due to the structure.
Structure types also create a meaning or an idea to the audience as it gives them an idea of whether to watch the film or not, this is critical as you want to attract as many people as possible to see you film this is why hybrid genres are good to use for film trailers.
