Script feedback

Feedback on Impressions Script Version 0.1 (rough)

the feedback i received on my first draft of impressions was that the concept was interesting if you did it well but the whole thing needed more of a narrative to run through to make the whole thing more interesting and it also lacked a lot of sense to make it easy to follow or understand. i also needed to make the script formatted in a better way to make it readable. the formatting on a few of my titles were also wrong so i have changed them in the final version.

Story Structure

The difference between story and narrative is how the plot is told. The story itself is what it is about as a whole thing, the narrative however, is the multiple ways of telling the story. For example a story can be as simple as saying a woman had been stabbed, however the narrative depends on who is telling the story, from the position of the woman ‘i was stabbed’ from the position of the person doing the stabbing the story would be ‘i stabbed someone’

3 Act Narrative Structure  

A 3 act narrative is a simple beginning, middle and end structure. For The act classic Hollywood structure is the structure of the film; it starts with the exposition, which means introducing the key characters of the film and the environment the film is set in the start of the plot. The development then occurs, which gives the audience a more in depth of the characters and locations, this involves mostly character development and when the plot thickens. Then comes the  complication, the thing in the way,  what stops the characters and makes problem for them to try and overcome. After that, it’s the climax, this is when the problem is solved, an outcome of what the characters did to overcome the problem they faced. Finally, its the resolution, the conclusion that ends the film with a new equilibrium. usually a happy ending with typical hollywood conventions, the characters have solved their problems and have achieved all their goals.

Five Act Narrative Structure

Some films like pulp fiction follow the five act structure however, the scenes are mixed in a non linear way.  The Exposition, where it introducers the characters Hunny Bunny and Pumpkin and then Vincent and Jules, at this point of time in the film, at this point you only know a little about the films plot. The Development is then introduced with more characters, such as Mia. During the beginning of the chapter, you get to know a bit more about Vincent, as you find out he takes drugs and is quite a softie when it comes to talking to woman. Next is the complication, where Mia has a drug overdose which turns the tables around, making Vincent panic with fright. He takes Mia to his friends house. When the climax kicks in, Mia is saved from harm by a adrenaline shot, Vincent is no longer worried and the problem is solved. The Resolution however, is not a happy ending, Vincent is shot dead in a bathroom by Butch and is left there, this of course is the end of the line for Vincent even though we see him later in the film but earlier in the timeline.

Linear Narrative

A linear narrative is when the plot is told in a simple measure, following the characters from start to finish with hardly any complications in the way. An example of this kind of narrative would be your classic action films like , it introduces the main characters, plot thickens, making all the main characters to work together to solve the problem and then a happy ending.

Non Linear Narrative

Non-linear is when the plot is explained in a different way. Instead of start to finish it could start For example, the film Pulp Fiction* (Quentin Tarantino 1995)the plot is told through different narratives and in different orders in time. for example the storyline of pulp fiction starts about ⅔ of the way into the actual narrative with jules and vincent entering the apartment, then that leads to the whole incident with them killing marvin in their car and ending up at jimmys house, this explains the clothing that they are wearing when butch is getting his money from marcellus in one of the other early scenes and solidifies what position in the timeline it comes in at.
