In class we learned that the narrative structure is the structural framework that underlies the order and manner in which the story is presented to the audience. The Three-act structure was defined by the French filmmaker Yves Lavandier and includes three main actions: setup, confrontation with an obstacle and resolution culminating in a climax. I used The dramatic narrative structure to define the structure of our film in order to make it more controlled and continuous.
Inciting incident: When T sees Kenny's diary and finds out that his roommate is fanatically obsessed with his girlfriend Ash.
Protagonist: Kenny in the protagonist in the beginning. However later in the story, Ash becomes our protagonist as story is told from her point of view.
Objective: Kenny gets the girl he is in love with.
First act/ Second act transition: The couple going off to the woods
Internal Obstacle: Kenny is not as popular as T. He is shy, timid and his personality is stopping him from getting the girl of his dreams
External Obstacle: Troy. He is confident, aggressive and popular. He is everything a girl lie Ash wants.
Climax: Kenny is chasing the couple. Troy decides he doesn't need Ash and is not willing to die because of loving her.
Dramatic Answer: No (Kenny does not get the girl)
Twist: Ash find out about Troy's betrayal. She decides to take control over the situation and becomes stronger and independent of Troy. There is a protagonist shift from Kenny to Ash.
Ash's objective: She doesn't want to be with either of them. She want a revenge.
Third act: They are in the forest, chasing around, trying to kill each other.
Third act climax: Ashley pretends she loves Kenny in order to survive. She helps him kill Troy. At the end she kills Kenny.
Dramatic answer: Yes. Ashley achieves her objective to survive and get out of the forest.
