| Question | Answer |
| Narrative | inclined to look for narrative in life and art. one thing after the other? continually attempt to make sense and translate things into stories. Establish connections between events, cause and effect. Causal relationship. |
| Screenwriter | Responsible for creating movie's story, either from scratch or adapt from another format. Story is called property during preproduction. Just an idea, outline, script that was pitched to producer. Many rewrites. |
| Treatment | Earlier form of a screenplay/synopsis = describes essential ideas and structure of film Story conferences, transformed from an outline into rough draft screenplay or scenario. |
| Storyboard | Direct transforms literal script images into visualization of shots/setups = strategy for shooting each scene and shots. Shot by shot breakdown that combines sketches or photographs of how each shot, dialogues, sound, music |
| Shooting script | Guide and reference point, indication where everything should be. Location(interior,exterior), setting(kitchen, stadium), type (close-up) and editing technique (cut, wipe, dissolve) |
| Narrative theory | Aristotle : three parts, beginning, middle, end. Jean Luc Godard : not necessarily in the same order 5-part : Exposition - everything before plus inciting moment, event that puts in motion the rest Rising action - development Climax - turning point Falling action - climax to conclusion Denouement - resolution. |
| 5-part narration | Exposition - everything before plus inciting moment, event that puts in motion the rest (background info on character, setting, basic conflict) Rising action - development (principal conflict develops, complicated by related secondary conflicts) Climax - turning point (where protagonist overpowers antagonist or opposite) Falling action - climax to conclusion (principal conflict comes to conclusion) Denouement - resolution (all made clear, no questions, surprises remain) |
| Plot/story | Story = narrative events explicitly presented, plot = all events implicit, we infer to have happened but not presented. |
| Diegesis | Total world of story, events, characters, objects, settings, sounds in which story happens. diegetic / non diegetic elements. |
| Plot | Plot = structure for presenting everything we see and hear. Diegetic events in a certain order, non diegetic material. |
| Plot order | Order can be manipulated so events are not chronological. Cameron made Titanic, well know story but created a backstory, fictional history. Citizen Kane, Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Shyamalan's Sixth Sense. Usual Suspects |
| Hubs | Major events or branching points in plot structure that force characters to choose between paths. Ridley Scott's Gladiator : three stages for Maximus - general to slave, slave to gladiator, gladiator to savior. |
| Satellite | Minor plot events that add texture and complexity to character. Love that Lucilla feels for Maximus. |
| Story/plot/screen duration | Citizen Kane, plot = week, story = seventy years, screen = 2h. |
