Hello Pinterest readers! This page has gotten many Pinterest hits over the years, but it begins in mid-conversation, so I thought I would go back now and interject a hello! The chart you’ve come here to see is part of my series How to Structure a Story Around a Large Problem. I later combined that series with others about every aspect of fiction writing to create The Ultimate Story Checklist, which takes your story though each of these steps and many more. Now back to your original post... This rather massive chart (broken up into two halves for easy reading) examines 56 movies and shows how each does or doesn’t take each of the fourteen steps in the story structure I’m proposing. If it helps you to review all the data at once, go ahead, but otherwise, you don’t have to dive in, because for the rest of this series we’ll go through the steps one by one. (And for what it’s worth, I’m in no way implying that these are the 56 best movies out there–in fact, there are some on the list that I’m not that crazy for. I was just looking for a representative sample of movies that were about the solving a large problem, and were, for the most part, well-liked, well-written, and financially successful.) The Steps: Step 1: The Longstanding Personal Problem Step 2: The Public Humiliation Step 3: The Intimidating Opportunity Step 4: Hesitation Step 5: The Hero Commits Step 6: Committing Creates Unexpected Conflict Step 7: The Hero Tries to Solve the Problem the Easy Way Step 8: The Promise of the Premise is Fulfilled Step 9: The Midpoint Disaster Step 10: The Hero Tries the Hard Way Step 11: The Spiritual Crisis Step 12: Proactive Pursuit of The True Goal Step 13: The Timeline is Unexpectedly Moved Up Step 14: Climax and Epilogue And Here Are the Charts: Tomorrow: Step 1!
