What You Will Learn?
- There are a baffling array of plotting books out there, treating some form of the 3 or 5 act structure. In this course I outline the features all 3-or-5-act variants have in common, and you will outline a plot with these key story features..
- Throughout, I emphasise the problems in storytelling that these structural features are intended to resolve. This will help you to recognise for yourself when structure is helping you, and when it is holding you back - and use it, break it or discard it intelligently..
