Dramatic Structure of Film

A film's dramatic structure creates the groundwork for an engaging story and is crucial to keeping the audience engaged the entire time. Without such a structure, a film would be a chaotic collection of events, leading to nothing but disappointment and boredom for the viewer. Thankfully, the three-act structure has become a dependable model for producing a successful movie. 


The exposition or setup, the conflict, and the climax and resolution are the three acts that make up the three portions of the three-act structure. This narrative framework offers a smooth progression that introduces the characters, intensifies the conflict, and brings the story to a satisfying conclusion.


The narrative starts with act one, the exposition. The introduction of the characters, place, plot, and tone occurs during the setup phase. The protagonist and adversary are presented to the audience during this stage, and their individual objectives and drives are made evident. The plot is established during this stage, which also lays the groundwork for the rest of the movie. 


The protagonist encounters a number of setbacks and challenges that go in the way of completing their objectives in Act 2, "the confrontation." The viewer is brought to the climax as the struggle between the protagonist and antagonist is intensified. The story achieves its pinnacle during this part, which also gives the plot a sense of urgency and tension.


Act three, the climax and resolution, deals with how the conflict is resolved. The protagonist must deal with the last conflict in this stage for the story to be resolved. The action reaches its height while the audience watches, ending the tension and bringing the drama to a satisfying conclusion. 


The three-act structure offers a solid foundation for making a good movie. A very fascinating and engaging movie is made possible by the exposition, conflict, climax, and resolution, which give a logical progression in the story. In essence, the three-act structure is the backbone of the film that drives the plot, creates a sense of urgency and tension, and ultimately leads to a satisfying conclusion.

Sociocultural Tradition - Symbolic Interactionism

Sociocultural Tradition - Symbolic Interactionism Starbucks coffee shops here in the Philippines show as a status symbol—“elite” not only in its price and ambiance but the branding itself while in outside countries it is just an ordinary brewing coffeehouse. In the season of Enhanced Community Quarantine, some branches of Starbucks were opened and long lines of cars awaited and caused traffic.  If you are to think about it—a person will only value Starbucks, if he/she will be with people who value it. Could be friends, parents, siblings—could be ads? Organizations or groups he/she had been in. It is shocking how many people go there. Could be how society viewed it as it trickles down to the members, how the elites saw it as a status symbol that some people want to achieve. Shaping the social world rather than simply acted upon.

  Coca-Cola - Swimming Elephant (1994) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4V6TUOVImg Theory: The Magic of Meaning In 1994, a swimming elephant became the unusual star of a Coca-Cola ad, which became a much more intriguing part of their legacy. The audience is invited to suspend disbelief as the elephant gently paddles above coral and schools of little fish until it comes across a sunbather on a raft holding an ice bucket of diet cola. The elephant throws a few peanuts onto the raft, wraps its trunk around one of the two bottles, and swims away without interrupting the sunbather's reading. Last year, Diet Coke dropped the "Just for the taste of it" jingle and has been gaining a lot of attention with its "hunk" campaign, in which female office workers drool over a shirtless construction worker. Coca-Cola Co., however, has been looking for novel advertising tactics for all of its brands under a new management team. Fallon McElligott, a Minneapolis ad agency known for...
