@@ClassActFilmSchool Please stick at it! This was so well done, enjoyable, and as someone who's trying to learn story structure, it's was a big help. I look forward to watching more.
Glad you’re finding them helpful, Malayali! I don’t know if I have any one particular movie that stands out as having the “best structure,” but Source Code actually sticks out for me as an example of using this structure creatively.
I love your videos! Binged them all at once! Maybe you can do Mean Girls, The Silence of the Lambs (personal fav) or maybe you can show some bad examples or movies that do not quite follow the three aft structure? Thanks!
Hey, thanks for that Isariya! Glad you found them helpful - MEAN GIRLS is an especially great suggestion, I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it. I’ll put it in the queue.
Hi, Can you plz tell me what the Graph represents here? If it's the Hero's journey, then the entire Act 2 should be downwards no ? Because all she does is Try and fail until midpoint (Downwards); and then fail more Rolling down the hill (again Downwards). What are the things that made the Graph rise from Act 2 beginning to the midpoint? Don't know if I missed something here.
Hey Shivadeep -- you didn't miss anything! That's a great observation. For me, the curves in the graph are more just my brain's way of visualizing the delineation between sections. No two stories are the same, so depending on the story being told, that section you're referring to (first part of Act 2, "building up" to the midpoint) might actually be a total downer where the hero just fails the whole time. It all depends on the type of thing you're trying to make -- the rules only exist so we can break them!
Hey, Please Keep Going! Soon You Will get your success (if The count of the subscribers is the Crietria). If a Guy Like me at a Different part of the world from yours could find you, soon many more are just a click away. So Please upload more and more content , Your Xray Machine for movies are both Fun and informative. Would love to see story structures of the highly paid blockbuster writers in the past and now, the likes of shane black, tony gilroys n all. Also the ones who have publicly made fun of the three act and still found success like the coens. These things could spice up your channel for good. Waiting!!
Great question, Shaan -- I think @JRM598 has it pinned down below, I typically just define "catalyst" with the phrase "inciting incident." And similarly, the "rising action" in this case would be the first two sections of Act 1 (on the way toward the Midpoint).

This is the best way to teach movie structure. Loved it! Which are the best structured movies? Please do videos on them!

Just found your stuff and I love it keep up the good work I hope you get the recognition you deserve
Hey, thanks for the kind words! As long as it’s helpful to other writers, I’ll keep making them :)
I also suggest Dreamwork's Sinbad, if you want to do an animated series - it offers enough to go by
🙏🥰 thank u
No problem! Hope it was helpful.
Amazing analysis!!
Thanks Ashwin! Glad it was helpful for you.
Just found out this channel. Totally awesome. Hope u guys do some movies from Akira Kurosawa
Glad you found it helpful, Son! I hope I’m brave enough to tackle a Kurosawa film sometime soon
I love your videos! Binged them all at once! Maybe you can do Mean Girls, The Silence of the Lambs (personal fav) or maybe you can show some bad examples or movies that do not quite follow the three aft structure? Thanks!

Can u make a video based on Mike flanagan any movies
Ooooh, I don't have one on the list (yet), but what Flanagan films are you thinking?
@@ClassActFilmSchool I loved his Oculus and hush..and series haunting of hill House..he is a master in horror genre
Sir where is the "Catalyst" and "Rising action"???
Please mention it next time. 🙏
Inciting incident.

Quite deus ex machina in the end, isn't it?
Could be! Which part?
Do the writers actually think this way when writing a screenplay?
