Catastrophe
The setting is fixed in a particular place and time,
the mood is set, and characters are introduced. A
backstory may be alluded to. Exposition can be
Exposition conveyed through dialogues, flashbacks,
characters' asides, background details, in-universe
media, or the narrator telling a back-story
An exciting force or inciting event begins
immediately after the exposition (introduction),
building the rising action in one or several stages
Rising toward the point of greatest interest. These events
are generally the most important parts of the story
Action since the entire plot depends on them to set up
the climax and ultimately the satisfactory
resolution of the story itself.
The climax is the turning point, which changes the
protagonist's fate. If things were going well for the
protagonist, the plot will turn against them, often
revealing the protagonist's hidden weaknesses. If
Climax the story is a comedy, the opposite state of affairs
will ensue, with things going from bad to good for
the protagonist, often requiring the protagonist to
draw on hidden inner strengths.
During the falling action, the hostility of the
counter-party beats upon the soul of the hero.
Freytag lays out two rules for this stage: the
number of characters be limited as much as
Narratives it. It’s what happens between characters in a scene and in the
play. It could be a sword fight in Macbeth or a tense discussion
during which neither character moves physically at all.
Content
This is what your drama is about. It’s the themes, issues and
ideas it contains. For example, the action of the piece might be
two sisters arguing, but the content is the exploration of sibling
rivalry.
A form is the method you select to tell your story
and explore themes when presenting your work.
For example, you may choose to present a piece
of work in the form of a mime, where the actors
don’t speak, or as Physical theatre, where abstract
Dramatic movements symbolize relationships.
Forms
Remember, form is the thing itself and the style is
the way you present it. In the case of a ‘comical
mime’ the dramatic form used is mime and
comical is the style in which it’s done.
This is the building and release of tension in drama.
Tension is a growing sense of expectation within the drama, a
feeling that the story is building up towards something exciting
happening. Without tension in a scene it is hard to keep the
audience engaged with what is happening so the work may be
flat and dull.
Climax and point. It’s the most exciting moment. An anti-climax is the
release of tension. It happens after the tension has reached its
adding narration
breaking into songs
split role or multi role
A symbol is something which stands for, or
represents something else. Symbols are often
used in drama to deepen its meaning and remind
the audience of the themes or issues it is
discussing. A prop often has a particular
significance that an audience will instantly
recognize when used symbolically in the work.
