Film Lecture Series #3 - Structural Theories & Storytelling + Film Review.
For todays lecture we looked at structural theories within films. This came looking at the 3 act structure - linear narrative structure - proposed by Syd Field who modernized and wrote about Aristotle's initial theory of narrative structure who stated that “A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end” Poetics 335BC. Field also stated that the 3 act structure doesn't necessarily need to follow Aristotle's proposed time schedule and that the middle act (act 2) is usually twice as long as act 1 and 3. In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation. Inciting Incident - Complication/ incident that sets events into motion. End of Act 1 : Plot Point 1 -The event in which the character takes on the central problem.

Hi Jasmine,
ReplyDeletea solid OGR submission, well done.
I think that you already heading in the right direction, and it will be great to see a more current interpretation of Baucis, rather than the more rutsic approaches we have seen in the past.
Materiality is going to be really important as you want your building to be light and airy in order to exist in this place.
Look at the architecture of Santiago Calatrava and Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry's fish sculpture and the wooden structures of Kengo Kuma, this will help you to avoid designing little box houses.
I'd recomend doing some more thumbnails in order to explore the city further as well as play with interesting compositions and viewer placment.
I will look into creating and implementing more free-flowing structures into the designs I have as well as new view points within further explorational thumbnails; using the suggested architects above and those I come across with more in depth research, to form a more characterized and definitive interpretation of Baucis.
