The clip from ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ uses many narrative techniques typical of Hollywood comedy/crime. Applying Propp's character theory, there’s no clear hero in the film but a clear protagonist in the character Jordan Belfort.  In many ways, he is shown to be the a money hungry egotistical character and is destined to be caught and captured by the FBI that drives the narrative, as he is the main protagonist of whom the audience will sympathise with. Jonah Hill offers the classic sidekick character while Rob Reiner plays the typical brother role. These well-known character types quickly help establish Propp’s theory of narrative. Likewise, Todrov’s theory the equilibrium of the film is shown at the beginning of the trailer; Jordan Belfort is a successful trader on Wall Street where he is excelling in the corporate hierarchy. The disequilibrium is utilised in the trailer when the FBI agents begin to investigate Belfort for several of different crimes. These key seniors in the trailer help institute Todorov’s theory. There are many enigma codes in the trailer using Barthes theory. For example: Is this legal? What will happen to the money? Will Jordon Belfort get arrested? These enigma codes are effective as they intrigue and interest the audience to go watch the film. There are also quite a few action codes relating to tension in the film.
