STORY STRUCTURE
Story structure is a question of plot -how do we put our events together to form the most cohesive, dramatic story?
With screenwriting, structure is critical--it is stricter than novels, plays because time is compressed.
The screen play is a blue print of the dramatic structure.
TYPES OF ACTION
Two types of Action
RISING ACTION
FROM ACT I - II WE WANT TO TAKE THE AUDIENCE ON A RIDE. WE RATCHET UP THE DRAMA AS WE GO.
FALLING ACTION
AFTER TGHE FINAL CLIMAX, WE WANT TO GIE THE AUDIENCE A MOMENT TO BREATH, REORIENT. DEAL WITH THE RESOLUTION.
Start in the beginning what is the event that set the flow into the conflict that leads to the confrontation.
ACT I = Conflict/ Confrontation
Causality is key: one event must lead to another.
Should be told from one character's POV.
Twist/reversal is when the audience expects one outcome by gets another.
