Storyboard story type

Film Studies
Storyboard story type:

The narrative theory that I will be using in my storyboard is Syd Fields three act theory. Act 1 will establish the film and signal the direction of the film and what will go wrong. Act 2 is the confrontation where the protagonist will face a series of challenges that they will have to over come. Finally Act 3 is where all the plots and sub-plots are resolved and there is a happy ending.

Act 1 will introduce my characters and hint at what will happen in the film. For example it will firstly show the band at their prime doing really well. However as the story progresses it will start to show problems arising and show the direction of which the film will head towards.

Act 2 will be the confrontation. This is where the band starts to fall apart and they start fighting resulting in the band almost ending. The protagonist will then face challenges in order to bring the band back together and continue their dreams.

Act 3 will be where the band are back together and play better than they ever had done before with the help of Joe after he has faced challenges along the way. This will then mean that all plots and sub-plots will be resolved and leave the story with a happy ending.

The story type that I am using for my storyboard is 'The gift taken away'. The gift that is being taken away being the bands skill and ability to work together that is taken away when members of the band give in to drugs and alcohol.
