The 3 act structure


The three act structure is how a lot of narrative fiction is structured. It consists of a beginning, conflict and resolution of the conflict. The beginning is the character development where you meet the characters and learn a little about them before the main part of the story. The next part in the story is the conflict where the story element of the film starts. It initiates the start of the resolution which might entail the protagonist learning new skills to defeat the obstacle or overcome a problem. The last part of the 3 act structure is the resolution where the obstacle or problem is overcome by the main protagonist. usually ending by the main character winning or getting what they want.

I also used an ideas generating pack to come up with a story using some weird categories that don't necessarily fit together. this helped to stretch my imagination.
