Internal Conflict
Man vs. self - character is personally conflicted over a decision/feelings
Give an example of internal conflict from the film.
External Conflict
Man vs. man – character has problem with another character
Man vs. nature – character v. heat, tornado, avalanche, etc
Man vs. society – character has a problem with an element of society (the law, accepted way of doing things, etc.)
Man vs. Fate (God) – character battles what seems to be an uncontrollable problem
Examples of External Conflict:
Give two example of external conflict from the film, and determine which category of external conflict each falls under.
Theme
Definition: The main idea or the grand meaning of a literary work. In most cases the theme is implied,
not spelled out.Answers the question, “What is the
story about?” without giving plot summary or details from the story.
What is the theme of the film?
Exposition:
Definition: Background information regarding the setting, characters, plot.
Note: we are introduced to the current situation before entering the real drama of the story
Inciting Incident/Catalyst
Definition: Someone or something that sparks action or brings about a change in the plot
Note: There is always an incident or catalyst that sparks the main action/plot of the story between the exposition and rising action. This is how we get the story rolling.
Rising Action
Definition: Those events that lead to a climax, or turning point, in the action
Note: This is where the conflict, suspense and characterization are developed, so we readers become more invested in the story.
Climax
Definition: called the TURNING POINT, it’s the point of greatest emotional intensity, interest, or suspense
Note: Everything changes from going in one direction to another; perhaps the protagonist has been looking for something the entire story and finally finds it, or has been chased by someone the whole story & now has to face them!
Falling Action:
Definition: All of the action that follows the turning point, or the climax
Note: This is the part of the story that begins to tie up all the loose ends and the conflict is finally overcome.
