Film Structure

Film structure refers to the arrangement of a film's narrative, typically divided into three main acts: setup, confrontation, and resolution. In the setup, characters, setting, and the initial conflict are introduced. The confrontation develops the story's tension through challenges and obstacles the characters face. Finally, the resolution ties up loose ends, resolving conflicts and revealing the outcomes for the characters. This framework helps create engaging stories that resonate with audiences, guiding them through the emotional journey of the film. Understanding this structure enhances appreciation for storytelling techniques used in cinema.
