Question

After watching several films (or plays) over your lifetime, and now reading Syd Field's theory on the Three-Act-Paradigm, what do you notice about the commonalities of good presentations?

Do you think the 3-act paradigm is necessary? Helpful? Distracting?

Discuss some examples of your findings from the learning activity.

*As usual, students should pose their own questions to each other as well.*

Answer 1

• Three act structure is used very much in storytelling,films,dramas,and screenwriting.
• It consists 3 parts:

1. The Setup
2. The Confrontation
3. The resolutions

Part 1 the Setup:

• It provides writers to Exposed and establish their main characters, their surrounding and relationships.Then dynamic incident occurs in which main characters try to deal and then comes first turning point.

Confrontation( 2nd part)

• In it midpoint occurs
• Then comes plot point

Resolution(part 3)

• It this part climax of the story occurred.

Hence, 3-act paradigm is very helpful and also necessary because it helps writers to tell story in a well structured and systematic manner.
