LECTURES 2 (WEEK 2) Understanding Storytelling

The three-act story structure is popular narrative framework used in storytelling. Particularly in some of the film and also literature, it is also very diverse in storytelling within three parts which is: setup, confrontation and resolution. 

We have to also read and watch videos for us to get a better understanding of the subject and how it works also. 


1. Act one: The Setup

- The first established the protagonist, there world, and the situation they find themselves on. This act typically ends with an inciting incident, which sets the stories in a moment of creative and also problem that the protagonist must be solved. Also, incidents can be also positive or negative events it depends on the situations moral of the story.


2. Act Two: The Confrontation

-The second act is the longest and most complex of the three acts. It's where the protagonist faces a series of obstacles and challenges as they work towards their goals. This act is also divided between two parts, first one is where making progress towards the goals, and where they setbacks and complications. The second is at the end of the turning points, were the protagonist faces a significant setback reevaluate their approach.

3. Act Three: The Resolution

- The third act is where the story reaches it final climax and conclusion resolution. The protagonist must confront their last challenges or conflict and overcome it in order the achieve their goals.
- The resolution, on the other hands is where loose ends are tied up, some tension is at its max.

- Overall, of all three acts of the story structures provides with clear understanding of the framework of storytelling, allowing writers to create a well-structured communication with the audience.
