Document Summary
Idea of rapid succession of beats and short segments e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple= (cid:374)arrati(cid:448)e progressio(cid:374) of walt(cid:859)s progressio(cid:374) (humiliated in the classroom, opening his car, in front of hank holding the gun, etc. ) Strongest beats are saved for the act curtains: acts are proportionate, ensure steadily rising action. Some causal chains dangle at end of an episode to create suspense, but seldom at the expense of satisfying resolution and coherence. Seasons are divided into acts (problems are introduced, developed, resolved across the season) Just as individual plotlines present problems and solutions, so do season acts: often an overlap between season acts and characters arcs. Easo(cid:374) stor(cid:455)li(cid:374)es sho(cid:449) ho(cid:449) (cid:272)hara(cid:272)ters(cid:859) li(cid:448)es are i(cid:374)tert(cid:449)i(cid:374)ed, (cid:449)ith ea(cid:272)h (cid:272)hara(cid:272)ter(cid:859)s goals shaped (cid:271)(cid:455) the other (cid:272)hara(cid:272)ters(cid:859) goals: arcs can coalesce together, if not at the beginning, then by the end. This aligns with what neumann says about arcs.
