@JustinStarrPhotography4 жыл бұрын
Structure is extremely important not just for the people that use it, but also for the people that claim they *don’t.* The reason a lack of structure can work at times, or can be subversive, is because of the comparison to structure. It can’t be subversive if there’s nothing to subvert. Cliches exist for a reason. Common practices exist for a reason. When I first took music theory in high school and a bunch of us know-it-all damn-the-man kids scoffed at them, my teacher said “First know the rules. When you know the rules you can break them.” In Beethoven’s symphonies he adhered to Sonata Form… but also expanded on it. Innovated it. Subverted it. Breaking the rules can lead to excitement from the audience in that their expectations were subverted. Great video!

Christopher Nolan uses the most rigid structure that is exact almost to the minute. His story beats are very clear and his movies other than Disney and Pixar are the easiest to study if you want to learn storytelling. People who probably have a more vague structure are maybe Tarantino and Chloe Zhao. But the best writers always do. You can always tell Woody Allen's structure in every script he writes whether good or bad and he's possibly the best screenwriter of all time.

I don’t think about structure when I’m writing either. I do plan on the scenes ofc before I write them but I stopped the “this must happen on this specific page” stuff and just started writing. Things happened when they happened. That’s when I started getting good reviews on my scripts. But I do like to plan out scenes and the overall events of the story in advance. The only tip I did keep in mind was make the opening scene interesting.

Congrats on very educational episode !!!! Y’kno--www ... Japanese literature industry has its own way of presenting a story into the certain sense of structure that comes in four parts. It basically has a second act, dividing into two that makes one, two, three, four. I personally find it coming in handy with writing for filcks, often runs 90 to somewhere 100 some minutes. The second act of usual three act structure is just too darn long, depending upon the material. Kek.

Just divide the total number of pages you are planning for your script by six and you will have the number of pages for each of the six sub-acts. For a 96 page script they would be as follows: 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, 49-64, 65-80, 81-96. Of course you don’t need to hit them exactly, but it’s helpful to writing towards a plot beat.
