Document Summary
Turning point: something that happens that directly has an impact on the protagonist / dramatic goal. By comparing the turning points, we can know which one is the most important. Opening scene: startplot scene: something happens creates a problem, then starts to solve problem. Louis calls to adventure, and they are on the car. Inciting event: the phone call that calls to adventure. Plot point one: their temporary dramatic goal changes to their main dramatic goal from simply have a vacation to run away. Resolution: the point where the viewers in a final way knows if and how the protagonist achieves the dramatic goal or not. Crescendo: play louder, increase, goes to the highest point, the climax. Decrescendo: (cid:523)in thelma and louise(cid:524) at the beginning, they could reach mexico at first. The screenwriter takes away the possibilities little by little. Multiple options to less options: died or alive. Learns that they have no options: when louis calls the policeman.
