Chapter2_Dien

 

This week’s chapter reading is really interesting to me, mostly regarding the two character lines: “Protagonist and antagonist”. I always think that a movie would always have the protagonist as the “goodies” and the antagonists as the “baddies,” but this chapter changed my mind. Furthermore, the way the filmmaker builds the protagonist decides how successful that film is when it is released, since the protagonist is the character the audience most relates to, no matter which role (good or bad) they play. One more thing that I find intriguing is the three-act structure of a typical movie. I would say the three-act structure of a movie is somewhat like a structure of an essay, so it would have the opening (first act), the body (second act), and the closing (third act). Each act is important as it serves its irreplaceable role in the movie, so the filmmakers shouldn’t ignore any act.

This article defines the three-act structure as the classic storytelling model—dividing a narrative into three parts: Act One (Setup), Act Two (Confrontation), and Act Three (Resolution).
