Freytag, Sith Holocrons, and Other Pyramids
Manage episode 293837350 series 2912944
This week, Fern and Julia go back to the basics as Fern teaches the class about story structure! We discuss Freytagian story structure (Freytag's Pyramid: Barely a Triangle™️), traditional vs. experimental structures, and linear and modular storytelling. When does a story benefit from a non-linear structure? What is the value of experimental storytelling? How does the structure of A New Hope differ from the structure of The Clone Wars? And what's up with the pacing of The Bad Batch?
On the Syllabus Today:
- Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2020)
- The Bad Batch (2021)
- Alice LePlante, Method and Madness: The Making of a Story
