I think I did best on Q3 as I gave my own opinion and pushed the boundaries of my terminology as well as my own knowledge.

Q1 because I felt that I did not need to spend too much time on it so I missed out things like other key spheres in Propps' theory,

The disequilibrium in this poster seems to be the opening stage in the film a suggested by the dismal looking clouds over the character who seems to be some sort of protagonist. He may either be a false hero or the hero. We can apply Barthes' theory of enigma codes as the character is holding a gun and clearly indicates to is that he intends to do harm. Maybe to protect? He could use the gun to kill someone/solve a problem. Judging by the towering block of flats, the character feels minuscule and unsafe as suggested by the sharp corners of the buildings. The film might start with the protagonist being in s state of distress. The new equilibrium could be when the villain in defeated or the princess (using Propp's theory) is rescued.

WWW- Very good use of theories as well as good interpretations 
EBI- use more detailed analysis of the theories and extend your analysis on Propp.
