This video is a REALLY good rundown of the Three Act structure. I'm just like to add that most films also have a sixth "moment" after the climax where they show how the characters or the world have changed because of the events described.
I'm glad you pointed out that the five-act structure is technically still just the three-act structure but more elaborate on the plot points. In essence, the common structure of stories is that they unfold what led up to the pursuit of the objective, the pursuit itself, and its essential outcome, successful or not. There are still three defining segments and they're even common in our everyday lives.
Finally! Somebody said it! I haven't read any books on screenwriting structure but whatever samples I've heard through Audible just made my brain hurt with its vague directions and overly specific beats. (Exactly like you said really) These "teachings" are worse than useless. It damages certain story ideas by forcing, bending or cutting natural elements that make it so unique in the first place. The way I see it is, as long as whatever is going on is interesting or at least implies something interesting is about to happen, then it's all good. Thank you Macabre. Keep it up. your work is more than helpful. Peace out.

I once read a writing craft book that went even further than dictating how far into your novel each plot point should occur; they gave an actual MATHEMATICAL FORMULA for calculating *the page range in your novel* for it to occur on. This involved counting the total pages in your completed novel and then using that total to calculate the specific percentages of that total where the plot point should go. Inciting Incident needs to occur at 10 -12.5% of your novel as a whole? In a 302-page novel, you would need to calculate 302 x 10% and 302 x 12.5%, which gives 30 and 38 respectively. so, there you go - in your 302-page novel, your Inciting Incident needs to happen somewhere between pages 30-38! It didn't fill me with insight and determination - in fact, as a maths-hating roadmap-pantser writer, it just made me want to cry.
Just commenting to mention a similar narrative concept: the heroes journey. Bonus fun fact: 28 days later does the heroes journey twice. One of my proudest achievements is pointing that out to my film studies teacher
Will definitely help those writers struggling like crazy with this structure! And yeah, most of those screenwriting advice columns are absolutely garbage. Advice is either too vague or too goddamn condescending. You’re a writer, not the man who invented space travel, stop stroking your ego. Great vid, Mac! Keep it up!
Dude, you are just pumping out content, my man. Like either, it's covid boredom or crazy motivation... can't say the same for me as much, but good on you dude!
I am new to the channel at a time where I am attempting to write for the first time in years. Thanks for the inspiration-your breakdowns are brilliantly written and explained. I look forward to watching the rest of your content.
Thank you so so much for this explanation.... really appreciate it :) I run some rpg games and I also love movies so I'd like to use this advice in my adventures as well. I absolutely love the way you explain things.... makes waaay more sense than some of the rigid structures out there.

Of these "templates", the one I like the most is the 22 steps system from the book "Anatomy of Story" by John Truby. Since it's based on discoveries and character development and drive, it's pretty flexible.
when people talk about how Quentin Tarantino started they always go straight to Reservoir Dogs and skip the important stuff that led to that film. He had already sold two scripts, Natural Born Killers and True Romance, and had made a small name for him self in Hollywood. So getting Reservoir Dogs financed wasn't really a one in a million shot. Also he made a film called my best friends birthday which was destroyed in a fire. He said that was his film school. So he wasn't this guy with no experience who came out of nowhere with this amazing script.
When you said that film was destroyed in a fire, I immediately pictured that scene in Django Unchained, where the mansion blows up, and Django looks back to the camera.
This is a great video! And it’s a great help for a screenplay I’ve been writing because I was struggling with structure but I’ve decided to just cave and have two inciting incidents.
Always a pleasure watching your analysis. Suggestion : any chance you can let us know the "3 movies" you'll be using as reference before each video ? Just so we can catch up. Thanks 😁
Good videos. Your Seinfeld one had like 20 solid jokes and was insanely well written and edited, plus you have a very good narrator voice. Keep it up, I predict 500k-1mil subs within 2 years. Whoever thumbs downed this video was a jealous baby.

Can you give an example? Usually for stories that are told out of order, or the end at the beginning, it is used as an attention grabber before switching to the beginning.
@@MacabreStorytelling Fallen (1998) or Mullholland Dr (2001), if they have what is the climax first; then go back to 'the beginning/how we got here' then it doesn't seem to fit the 3-act structure. Unless you said, it was until it was jumbled up - which seems like a cheat. It would be like saying Cubism is realism, but a lot blockier.
@@InsidiousDr9 Well Mulholland Drive is quite the outlier when it comes to films in general lol for Fallen do you mean the Denzel movie or the Michael Douglas one?
Depends on the show and format. A show like The Sopranos is serialized but is more episodic. Each episode has self-contained elements but also elements that add to the season or series arc. A show like Breaking Bad, while still SLIGHTLY episodic, is far more just straight up serialized, playing out like a gigantic movie. The Wire is perhaps one of the most serialized shows (per season at least) on television.
Quick tip guys. The actual beginning of the video subject is around 8 minutes in.... so now I'm doubting the rest of vid if he thinks that was acceptable
No worries man. Written a couple of pilot scripts. I found during college I tended to be more drawn to TV for its potential to be able to tell a story over a much longer span of time.
@@MacabreStorytelling that's great man, regardless of the issues involved, it's good that you went for it (and as I see, you're still going strong). I've been doing lots of background stuff in NYC; Law and Order, CSI, morning shows, pilots, Indi, disney etc, then I got into casting which is surprisingly lots of fun..but today?... showbusiness is scattering all around the nation, most importantly they're leaving NYC and LA (the more popular show business locations as we know) but these days we're all re examining who/what/where we are. We're in the 2nd act all this time so we need to start working towards a cathartic ending. Keep doing your thing bro😎
This is very good, but sometimes too fast paced for me. It's ok, since I can stop and replay, but sometimes I get a bit to much information here in a short time span. Might be very subjective though, keep up the amazing work.
This is silly. Where is the GOT rewrite compilation? Why start another series, when you've failed to finish the first? The very reason most of us subscribed to this channel in the first place! It's hard to get invested in ANOTHER series, when you fail to deliver on what you started!

Pinning this comment so those who haven't watched the vid see it first without context and get confused 👍
@@MacabreStorytelling lmfao.
so based
another good example is Rocky, which stretches out the amount of time we spend establishing his character and his world before stuff starts happening
You are also watching Just Write channel, aren't you? xD
Phenomenal introduction, brobeans. This series will become an excellent reference for all writers.
This video is a REALLY good rundown of the Three Act structure. I'm just like to add that most films also have a sixth "moment" after the climax where they show how the characters or the world have changed because of the events described.
The denouement, as it's called.
I'm glad you pointed out that the five-act structure is technically still just the three-act structure but more elaborate on the plot points. In essence, the common structure of stories is that they unfold what led up to the pursuit of the objective, the pursuit itself, and its essential outcome, successful or not. There are still three defining segments and they're even common in our everyday lives.
I first read this as "The Craft Of 3" and I was looking for parts 1&2
I like how one person was like naaaah...
I started with your analysis of departed and was hooked by amadeus. Great work!
Finally! Somebody said it!
I haven't read any books on screenwriting structure but whatever samples I've heard through Audible just made my brain hurt with its vague directions and overly specific beats. (Exactly like you said really) These "teachings" are worse than useless. It damages certain story ideas by forcing, bending or cutting natural elements that make it so unique in the first place.
The way I see it is, as long as whatever is going on is interesting or at least implies something interesting is about to happen, then it's all good.
Thank you Macabre. Keep it up. your work is more than helpful. Peace out.
Thanks! Hope this one made sense lol

I once read a writing craft book that went even further than dictating how far into your novel each plot point should occur; they gave an actual MATHEMATICAL FORMULA for calculating *the page range in your novel* for it to occur on. This involved counting the total pages in your completed novel and then using that total to calculate the specific percentages of that total where the plot point should go. Inciting Incident needs to occur at 10 -12.5% of your novel as a whole? In a 302-page novel, you would need to calculate 302 x 10% and 302 x 12.5%, which gives 30 and 38 respectively. so, there you go - in your 302-page novel, your Inciting Incident needs to happen somewhere between pages 30-38!
It didn't fill me with insight and determination - in fact, as a maths-hating roadmap-pantser writer, it just made me want to cry.
That sounds like hell lol
Good god.
Just commenting to mention a similar narrative concept: the heroes journey.
Bonus fun fact: 28 days later does the heroes journey twice. One of my proudest achievements is pointing that out to my film studies teacher
Will definitely help those writers struggling like crazy with this structure! And yeah, most of those screenwriting advice columns are absolutely garbage. Advice is either too vague or too goddamn condescending. You’re a writer, not the man who invented space travel, stop stroking your ego.
Great vid, Mac! Keep it up!
Dude, you are just pumping out content, my man. Like either, it's covid boredom or crazy motivation... can't say the same for me as much, but good on you dude!

Nice one, Macarbe Storytelling!
Thank you so so much for this explanation.... really appreciate it :)
I run some rpg games and I also love movies so I'd like to use this advice in my adventures as well.
I absolutely love the way you explain things.... makes waaay more sense than some of the rigid structures out there.

Thank you. 😎
Of these "templates", the one I like the most is the 22 steps system from the book "Anatomy of Story" by John Truby. Since it's based on discoveries and character development and drive, it's pretty flexible.
when people talk about how Quentin Tarantino started they always go straight to Reservoir Dogs and skip the important stuff that led to that film. He had already sold two scripts, Natural Born Killers and True Romance, and had made a small name for him self in Hollywood. So getting Reservoir Dogs financed wasn't really a one in a million shot. Also he made a film called my best friends birthday which was destroyed in a fire. He said that was his film school. So he wasn't this guy with no experience who came out of nowhere with this amazing script.
When you said that film was destroyed in a fire, I immediately pictured that scene in Django Unchained, where the mansion blows up, and Django looks back to the camera.
Great introduction. I now love this video.
A video analysis on 11/22/63 would be cool.
This is a great video! And it’s a great help for a screenplay I’ve been writing because I was struggling with structure but I’ve decided to just cave and have two inciting incidents.
And that's okay! Sometimes an inciting incident may be a multi-step process which is totally fine.
3:10 that made my day LMAO 💯💯🌼
And I JUST got done doing story related presentation work for my animation college corses
Dammit I forgot the u in courses
Masterpiece Videography
dude i fucking love this channel
Just discovered your channel! Very impressed with everything and can't wait to binge it all. Definitely a "notifications on" type of channel.
Man, this is so good. Please keep making those videos. Btw where did you learn all of this? I want too :DD
Simply great.
Always a pleasure watching your analysis.
Suggestion : any chance you can let us know the "3 movies" you'll be using as reference before each video ? Just so we can catch up. Thanks 😁
No worries, they are listed below as spoilers. Also there are pics at the very end. So with the inciting incident it's Dodgeball, Oldboy, and Argo.
Good videos. Your Seinfeld one had like 20 solid jokes and was insanely well written and edited, plus you have a very good narrator voice. Keep it up, I predict 500k-1mil subs within 2 years. Whoever thumbs downed this video was a jealous baby.

I definitely took those things literally in the beginning but after watching Lindsay Ellis video you are videos my mind is opening up
Great video! Looking forward to more.
Very interesting
This video gets an A+ for poking fun at avant-gard hipsters. Those people are the worst.
Thank you!!!
Hey, I like your videos, all of them.
I like this one.
Good morning.
Definitely helpful. Thank you, a shit ton.
Love the video: Serious question - for (somewhat tired trope) of starting at the end - are those still 3-act?
Can you give an example? Usually for stories that are told out of order, or the end at the beginning, it is used as an attention grabber before switching to the beginning.
@@MacabreStorytelling
Fallen (1998) or Mullholland Dr (2001), if they have what is the climax first; then go back to 'the beginning/how we got here' then it doesn't seem to fit the 3-act structure. Unless you said, it was until it was jumbled up - which seems like a cheat. It would be like saying Cubism is realism, but a lot blockier.
@@InsidiousDr9 Well Mulholland Drive is quite the outlier when it comes to films in general lol for Fallen do you mean the Denzel movie or the Michael Douglas one?
@@MacabreStorytelling The Denzel one.
What's the difference of the structure when making a serialized TV series?
Depends on the show and format. A show like The Sopranos is serialized but is more episodic. Each episode has self-contained elements but also elements that add to the season or series arc. A show like Breaking Bad, while still SLIGHTLY episodic, is far more just straight up serialized, playing out like a gigantic movie. The Wire is perhaps one of the most serialized shows (per season at least) on television.
Hey maybe you got that red pill from me if it was cerca 2005 lol
(⊙_⊙;)
@
Macabre Storytelling,✨ How to do it for a short film (5min-15min) ?? 🌼🌼
Same thing! You probably don’t need a midpoint, maybe not a second act turn, but def need the inciting incident, first act turn, and the climax!
@@MacabreStorytelling 🍕 thank you.
Quick tip guys. The actual beginning of the video subject is around 8 minutes in.... so now I'm doubting the rest of vid if he thinks that was acceptable
I see Chinatown, I click.
May I ask, do you write your own screenplays? Have you made films? (Obv you don't have to reply)
No worries man. Written a couple of pilot scripts. I found during college I tended to be more drawn to TV for its potential to be able to tell a story over a much longer span of time.
@@MacabreStorytelling that's great man, regardless of the issues involved, it's good that you went for it (and as I see, you're still going strong).
I've been doing lots of background stuff in NYC; Law and Order, CSI, morning shows, pilots, Indi, disney etc, then I got into casting which is surprisingly lots of fun..but today?... showbusiness is scattering all around the nation, most importantly they're leaving NYC and LA (the more popular show business locations as we know) but these days we're all re examining who/what/where we are.
We're in the 2nd act all this time so we need to start working towards a cathartic ending.
Keep doing your thing bro😎
Ditto Homie 😉
This is very good, but sometimes too fast paced for me. It's ok, since I can stop and replay, but sometimes I get a bit to much information here in a short time span. Might be very subjective though, keep up the amazing work.
There is a playback speed feature and you can slow it down 👍 Sometimes I feel I go either too slow or too fast depending on the vid lol

This is silly.
Where is the GOT rewrite compilation?
Why start another series, when you've failed to finish the first? The very reason most of us subscribed to this channel in the first place!
It's hard to get invested in ANOTHER series, when you fail to deliver on what you started!
I came to this channel for this series, and stayed for everything else.

I would have enjoyed everything else so much more if he had completed the work he started.
Closure is a necessary thing.
@@thestoryteller2014 I suppose so. I just hope he finishes this one.
@@thestoryteller2014 , patience is key.
@@osmanyousif7849 true. And he's got some real eye opening fresh material! So I'm a fan!
Flowers INSTEAD of flags…
As I access the Protocols of my mind, it seems the more we delve into the Realm of our Waking Walking Dream where here in Purgatory, the many have no clue what too {LIVE A LIE} actually means???, and since most have been raised since they were born to do as you are told, and do NOT think for your right to be you, we find ourselves in this {As Above / So Below} 2 sided FLAT EARTH where the Northern Hemisphere, and The Southern Hemisphere are both controlled by the CONTROL PANELS in the [D.U.M.B.S.] of our Shared Celestial Sphere INNER EARTH where machines and mechanization make the Holy Sun rise and Set on “Both Sides” of this enclosed COSMOLOGY World, and the Moon does so too Eclipse this Sun too REMEMBER [male and female] are one, and without the ZERO and The ONE of Computer Holographix Arrhythmical Interfaces, our Virtual Reality of ALL THE WORLD IS A GAME has {taken over} what once was ALL THE WORLD IS A STAGE, and now we all live THE “GAME” MUST GO ON, and the Show Must go on is seen as nothing more then {Illusions and Disillusion} of MALFEASANCE reporters on our T.V. INDOCTRINATION Re-Education and Re-Integration 2D FLAT SCREENS…
When every one on TV is and has ALWAYS been nothing more then An Actor or “Actress” the Blinds of Insanity all fall into place!!! Telling WE THE PEOPLE we landed on the Moon whence we have not!!! Telling us WAR IS NOT MURDER when to {kill anything} is to MURDER IT… Has there ever been a day in your life that one of these many “variations” of MEDIA SCREENS has not been operational as The Mark of the BEAST in your Hand to the Marks of INVASION on your minds???? Do you know what the Book of REVELATION is actually all about.?.?.?, and do you’m know WE THE PEOPLE Wrote every book [ever made] in this place of The Damned, The Cursed, and The Forsaken, and do you know we Humans are the nonhumans, and that {we are} all Androids and Gynoids reliving the experience of what happened to this Celestial Sphere called PLANET EARTH where the Awful Horror from the Book of Books is our Dead, and Beaten, and Dry BLACK BLOOD of Black Water Terrestrial “Moon” in OUR shared Night and Day Skies as day after day after day WE THE PEOPLE keep waking up here as the Human Race.?.?.?.?
How many of you’m know a FLAG is just a Piece of [Coloured] CLOTH that your World Leaders use too say: Kill them cause Their FLAG is not our FLAG??? Whom set up “this game” of WAR IS MURDER when we all have Mothers and Fathers, and we all want Babies, and Children too one day replace WE THE PEOPLE as our new foundlings of CLONES cause when a Man and a [Wombman] Procreate are they not making CLONES of their Desire to have “both” of their BLOOD LINES go on???, and whom would talk you into an ABORTION that is {the eradication} of your BLOOD LINE.?.?.? Sure THEY LIVE Yell, and Scream, and threaten they will throw you in the Brig that is just one more {Jail and Prison} in LAWS we the people have “no say in” cause the Vast Majority of People on this Northern Hemisphere are run by Task Masters known as TAX COLLECTORS, and we have come to the Conclusion that only FREE MASON [Lodge Members] get to run Our Courts, Our Towns, Our Military FLAGS, and so on and so forth, and then these “U.N. Troops” whom have taken over all Police, and Military, and Religions, and Schools of Thoughts say: PAY YOUR TAXES TO YOUR GOVERNMENT, but you the people {will have} no say in how your EMPLOYED Public Servants Treat WE THE PEOPLE???????
If this place was not PURGATORY, it would all “seem” so unbelievable, and yet, we the people know we are Living THE MEMORY of a World called {Planet Earth} that is this Celestial Sphere where the many have gone mad, and insane with an insatiable desire too CONSUME all that is in this world where Pollution abounds as SKY SHIPS Spray Toxic CORPORATE WASTE called [Chemicals] in the skies… I did not know the CONSUMERS was the real reason the {Socks and Bonds} go up and down forever and ever in the explanation of Hell and Hades in the NEW TESTAMENT, but there can be no doubt these STUDENT LOANS has turned all our Children into [Debt SLAVES] whom will murder other children to pay off those STUDENT LOAN DEBTS when all can be forgiven, and CENTRAL BANKS be Nationalized… However, when no one is allowed to “think” matters through, nor Question that big Q in the Sky, then Children kill and murder [Children] cause they think Your FLAG is the Enemy, and yet, if it is only THE FLAG that makes WE THE PEOPLE do WAR IS MURDER, then why don’t {we the people} take down all FLAGS and Proclaim our Collective “Proclivity” to live as ONE???

A FLAG has no more [meaning] than WHAT you the Individual Give It…. Sadly FREE MASON want you to do WAR IS MURDER cause they make “Money” off making Weapons that kill all the Flowers in your lands with Sludge from the Mass Production of Predator Drones, and Robotic Tanks, and Automated Naval WAR Ships: poised to kill us all in WORLD WAR with IRAN and China, and any other U.N. FLAG our World Police the {USA PEACEKEEPERS} and their imaginative TV Shows say:
Too kill is not MURDER it is how you become a HERO OF WAR, and yet too kill is to murder anything be it Plants - Wildlife - Sea-life, and all your ABORTION “Children” whom only got Aborted Later in life in a [Distant Land] far from you their Mother and Father, and not too mention how many Brothers and Sisters Got “The Abortion” of their Life TERMINATED in distant Lands cause Their FLAG was not OUR FLAG, and then all you “orphaned” Children as Your Mom and Dad just had to be Abortionist, so they could win the GAME of being called a {WAR HERO} on these God Damned TV Screens…
The Society of nonmason~
Your Religions and your Courts say: Murder is Against The LAW, so do tell me my puny idiotic Humans why do you Break the LAW of your “FLAGS” when WAR IS MURDER and that makes WAR Illegal in all your {Human Courts} and all your so called Humane Religions…
The Sentinel…

Finally…, what if all these MUD FLOOD Building still stand, and they are just on the Other Side of our FLAT EARTH known as The Southern Hemisphere once you get past the INNER EARTH and all our Underground and Underworld Cities and Military Check Points by those whom control and command the MACHINES in This World of the Dead…
The Commander~
We Are The Rag Tag Rebellion “of and for” OUR WORLD REPUBLIC CONSTITUTION Coalition that can STOP all WARS, and forgive all National Debts by becoming the NEW WINE SKINS, and saying {No More} do we The Youth: follow you’m THE OLD WINE SKINS…
We Are Pak-Toe… We don’t do Racka… WE TAKE THEM OUT!!!
We Are Revelation… We do not forgive… WE DO NOT COMPLY… Game Over…
Remember, Remember, The 5th of December where all our nonmason [populations] lay in unmarked graves for every FREE MASON [U.N. FLAGS] Wars “fought” for nothing...
