The Hunger Games comes under the genres of Adventure & Fantasy with the sub-genre of Si-Fi.
Looking at Vladimir Propp's Theory of Narrative he set that every film will include a certain base characters that are used in every film:
To start off we already get an idea of who the Hero within the film is going to be, Katniss Everdeen, although they break the general idea that the Hero is going to be a male role. This tells us that men are no longer considered the dominant role for survival anymore, that due to the world that the people are forced to live in women have had to become equally as strong and fit for survival as their male counterparts.
The villain character seems to be, although only seen very briefly, Seneca Crane. This is just from the atmosphere that is given to the trailer when he is on screen. He is show turning around with a shocked expression upon his face, but also a hint of anger. This gives the idea that he doesn't like what has happened and wants to do something about it.
The donor this character would be Haymitch Abernathy. Haymitch was a previous winner of the Hunger Games, he then gives some tips to Katniss about what is going to happen within the games. The gives her a pin that use to belong to someone in her family, this would be used to give Katniss hope when she thought all was lost.
The helper, this character will assist Katniss in winning the Hunger Games and getting her back home to her little sister. Who else would this be other than fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark. Peetra is the male tribute for the games from District 12 meaning that him and Katniss would be on the same team and able to help each other, although the games rules are only one may come leave. This already gives us the idea that he will be killed in the midst of all the action.
The princess would be Katniss's little sister Primrose Everdeen (Prim). Although very brief we see that Prim is chosen at random to be District 12 female tribute to the Hunger Games, but is replaced by her older sister Katniss when she steps in as a volunteer.
The trailer does not show any sign of The dispatcher and The false hero.
If we look at Tzvetan Todorov's Theory of Narrative he says that the convectional structure of a narrative is structured in five stages: (Stage 5. will never be shown within a trailer as it is the ending of the film.)
1. We see that the world that the people live in has turned into a apressive and controling state. This sets up the basis of the story letting us know that people are going to be craving and searching for freedom.......
