Sid Felds 'Paradigm'

(Source: dramatica.com)

Screenwriter & theorist Syd Field created the 'Paradigm' to see how a film is structured when it comes to inciting incidents & plot points. In every film and tv show, their are actions in the narrative, that help develop the story. They are placed in certain parts of the story to give the film/show depth and structure. In a typical film or television program, you can tell where the plot points embedded in the film but some can be very subtle.

Without this structure, a media text cold fall could fall apart as it might be confusing for the audience.
