Asas Pembinaan Cerita

Dalam entry blog Zaini Kosnin ada explain tentang Struktur Linear Lakon Layar (sila baca bahagian komen juga, ada info penting); which is a very standard format in development a story.

This structure has..

• Act 1, Act 2, Act 3

• Act 1 = Permulaan = Setup/Introduction; skrip m/s 1-30 

• Act 2 = Pertengahan = Conflict; skrip m/s 30-90

• Act 3 = Pengakhiran = Resolution; skrip m/s 90-120

• antara Act 1 dengan Act 2 = Plot I; skrip m/s 25-27 = the hook!
• antara Act 2 dengan Act 3 = Plot II; skrip m/s 85-90

Butiran di atas, adalah dari segi teknikal. Untuk pengisian cerita dalam skrip, mesti ada..

• struktur - a good, fresh, well-told story that makes sense
• character - menarik, freshed-out characters (yang hidup); antagonis/protagonis 
• subject - character + action + plot + dialog
• confrontation - subject matter + journey + plots & sub-plots
• dialog - good, realistik dan sejajar dengan character; speech, movement, sending message
• plot - turning point of confrontation/conflict/resolution; supported with sub-plot
• pacing - huraian aksi/arahan, unsur dramatik, tension, climax
• hook - pencetus isu/conflict

<<along the way, harap aku ada jumpa different structure untuk buat perbandingan and see the pros & cons>>
