This week focused on how stories are built through narrative structure, character development, and editing. We explored the Five-Act Structure and how balance, conflict, and resolution keep audiences engaged, as well as the importance of planning scenes so stories flow naturally.
We also looked at how characters drive the plot through their choices and emotions, and how editing controls rhythm, time, and emotional impact. This session helped me understand how storytelling techniques work together and has changed how I watch and analyse films.
