Warm Up (9/10)—3 minutes Think about two (2) movies that you have seen this summer. Do these movies have anything in common with each other? For example, I saw “Mummy 3” and “The Dark Knight.” I noticed that the hero fighting the “bad guy.” I also noticed that in the end, the “good guy” looked like he was about to lose, but in the end evil lost.

Fiction vs. Non-Fiction Fiction – A made-up story – Can be about anything (trips to Mars, your imaginary best friend) – Most novels are fiction (romance, science fiction, etc.)

Did you know…? That 99.9% of fiction books and movies have the same plot? Last year, I set a challenge to anyone to find a fiction book that did not follow a set narrative pattern. The reward = $5.

Freytag’s Triangle (plot)

Exposition – Opening scene Usually peaceful – Main character is introduced. – Leaves you with a QUESTION that can only be answered by continuing to watch.

Freytag’s Triangle (plot) Conflict – A BIG problem develops in the story world. – Internal conflict = a problem inside the character – External conflict = a problem with the world outside of the character.

Freytag’s Triangle (plot) Climax – Highest point of action – Usually, the biggest battle scene or when the “good guy” and “bad guy” meet—they may or may not fight.

Freytag’s Triangle (plot) Resolution – The ending – The conflict (problem) is usually fixed (if not…maybe a sequel?)

Labyrinth Movie Clips For each clip, fill out the appropriate area of Freytag’s Triangle on your worksheet. We will briefly discuss your answers once the clips has finished and you’ve had a minute to write.
