I need help with my theoretical framework

I am working on my final degree project regarding the representation of African American stereotypes in GTA: San Andreas and GTA V. My objectives include analyzing the representation of African American stereotypes through audiovisual narrative, as well as examining these representations through the interaction between narrative and gameplay (ludonarratives) to determine if they contribute to reproducing and reiterating stereotypes.

I am using an analytical model by Pérez Latorre with a ludonarrative and socio-semiotic approach (2017), which focuses on elements such as player actions, the representation of the fictional world, interactions with NPCs, and the game's rules and victory conditions.

However, I am not sure how to structure my theoretical framework. I’m not asking anyone to do it for me, but how would you structure it?
