My Movie Log #1: Exploring Story and Plot
This My Movie Log journal is based on our class screening of Singin’ in the Rain(1952), the Chapter 4 Lecture: “Narrative Structure”, and this unit’s course reading. You should complete these before tackling this Journal.
Your journal should include the following three parts:
Part 1: Using your own words, describe the difference between Story and Plot.
Part 2: Using two clear examples from Singin’ in the Rain, specify two narrative events which would be part of the Story but not part of the Plot. Briefly justify your answer for the two examples.
Part 3: Give a clear example from Singin’ in the Rain of a plot element that wouldn’t be part of the Story.
