Dan Harmon Story Circle: 8 Proven Steps to Better Stories
Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a creative loop? You start a script, get halfway done, but because you can’t figure out the ending, you abandon it, then start a new one. And then it happens again. And again. ►► http://bit.ly/2H4HiFY
So writer/producer Dan Harmon tackled this problem.
He took centuries of storytelling principles and turned them into an easy-to-use guide for building a compelling story.
One circle. Eight steps.
Understanding good narrative structure won’t just make you a better writer.
It’ll make you a better storyteller.
Today, we’re going to look at Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’, a film with a seemingly complex plot, that we can break down into the 8 steps of the story circle.

The Ultimate Primer On Story Structure | 40+ Movies Analysed
"Stories are equipment for living." I've loved story structure for 10 years, and now so can you. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't ruin the experience to understand structure. It actually elevates it. This video is an essay on how that works.
Ever wondered how to tell act 2 from act 3? How to look a bit deeper into movies? This is the channel for you! Starting with this video, I'll be uploading videos about movie structure, usually focussing on a single movie at a time. If that interests you, join the community by subscribing, and look around at the other videos on this channel.
Shout out to the excellent Denis-Carl Robidoux (check out his channel) for allowing the use of some overscanned film sprockets in this video.

THREE-ACT STRUCTURE EXPLAINED
If you’re a writer, hoping to be a writer or even a casual movie-goer, you’ve probably heard of three-act structure. More than simply “beginning, middle, and end,” three-act structure is dominant in Western storytelling. And in this video, we sat down with writer and story expert K.M. Weiland as she breaks down the eight parts of three-act structure, how they work, and what they aim to accomplish. To do this, Weiland dissects one of the best-structured movies of all time — Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, written by David Koepp based on a novel by Michael Crichton.
WHAT IS THREE-ACT STRUCTURE
While the concept of a three-act structure is fairly recent, stories have followed this pattern for centuries. Act One introduces us to the characters, their world, and the major conflict. Act Two sees the characters set out to resolve that conflict and attain whatever goals were established in the previous act. Act Three contains the final test or confrontation that will decide the outcome of this pursuit with either success, failure, or something in between. In a nutshell, this is the structure that most stories, novels, films, TV shows, or any other narrative medium follow.
DOES THREE-ACT STRUCTURE WORK?
Yes, it does, but not for every story. Shakespeare often constructed his plays in five acts. The three-act structure is ubiquitous in Western storytelling and, therefore, has, in some circles, garnered a negative reputation as being creatively restrictive. But as Weiland explains, story structure of any kind doesn’t preclude creativity — it is merely the container, and what is inside (the characters, the plot, the themes, etc.) is the real gift.
Learning three-act structure is a way to grasp the fundamentals of storytelling. That way, when bending or breaking those rules becomes necessary, it can be done without sabotaging a story’s chances of reaching and connecting with the audience.

Dan Harmon Story Circle: 8 Proven Steps to Better Stories
Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a creative loop? You start a script, get halfway done, but because you can’t figure out the ending, you abandon it, then...
Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a creative loop? You start a script, get halfway done, but because you can’t figure out the ending, you abandon it, then start a new one. And then it happens again. And again. ►► http://bit.ly/2H4HiFY
So writer/producer Dan Harmon tackled this problem.
He took centuries of storytelling principles and turned them into an easy-to-use guide for building a compelling story.
One circle. Eight steps.
Understanding good narrative structure won’t just make you a better writer.
It’ll make you a better storyteller.
Today, we’re going to look at Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’, a film with a seemingly complex plot, that we can break down into the 8 steps of the story circle.
The theory boils down to three sentences:
(1) A character is comfortable (2) but they see something they want, (3) So they head out into uncharted territory to get it (4) but have to change in order to succeed. (5) When they finally grasp it, (6) they pay a hefty price (7) and return to their original situation (8) having changed inside (and sometimes outside).
Keep watching and see how this applies to Batman!

"Stories are equipment for living." I've loved story structure for 10 years, and now so can you. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't ruin the experience to understand structure. It actually elevates it. This video is an essay on how that works.
Ever wondered how to tell act 2 from act 3? How to look a bit deeper into movies? This is the channel for you! Starting with this video, I'll be uploading videos about movie structure, usually focussing on a single movie at a time. If that interests you, join the community by subscribing, and look around at the other videos on this channel.
Shout out to the excellent Denis-Carl Robidoux (check out his channel) for allowing the use of some overscanned film sprockets in this video.
All the music is by me.
What movie should I break down next?

Parasite (2019) cleaned house at Oscars, winning multiple awards with a parable of social inequality. Beyond the exquisite directing and cinematography, the Parasite script is also worth appreciating. Not only does it follow (and subvert) classic story structure, co-writers Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won managed to weave in complex and nuanced themes. The end result is a surprising, evocative and ground-breaking story. In this Parasite video essay, we’re going to map out the 15 story beats of the Parasite script using Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat beat sheet.
To have the Parasite movie explained, we can turn to the Save the Cat story beats. In the “Opening Image,” we get our first glimpse of the Kim family’s impoverished life in a sub-basement. Most pro-actively trying to pull his family out of this less-than-ideal existence is the son, Ki-woo. He believes that with hard work and ingenuity, upward mobility is possible. This is the “Theme Stated” beat, and we follow the Kims, led by Ki-woo, in their pursuit of this goal.
And then, the “Catalyst” that kicks the plot into motion. Ki-woo’s friend, Min, offers him an opportunity to take over as a tutor for the wealthy Park family. After initial doubts (the “Debate”), Ki-woo fabricates a resume and lands the job — and a new plan is formed. During the “Fun and Games” beat, Ki-woo’s father, mother and sister all procure jobs working for the Parks. Just as the Kims believe they have arrived at their new and comfortable life, the “Midpoint” flips their dreams and the direction of the story.
Moon-gwang, the Parks’ former housekeeper, returns to the house while the Kims celebrate. Unbeknownst to anyone, she has been harboring her husband in the Parks’ basement. A literal slip up puts the Kims at the mercy of Moon-gwang, and puts their chances of success at their lowest (“All is Lost”). In the following story beats in the Parasite script, the Kims’ subterranean house is flooded but even when Ki-woo’s father questions the idea of “having a plan,” Ki-woo doubles down and hatches a new plan.
The climax (“Finale”) of Parasite is a birthday party massacre leaving Ki-woo’s sister and Moon-gwang’s husband dead, while Mr. Park is killed by Ki-woo’s father. With his father hiding in the same basement under the Park’s house, and despite everything that’s happened, Ki-woo still stubbornly holds onto his belief that he can one day afford to legitimately buy the Park house and rescue his father.
The Parasite movie explained in these story beats allows for screenwriters to see how useful a formula like the Save the Cat beat sheet can be. Of course, Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won were also able to subvert traditional story structure with an ending that is both poignant and unexpected.

Parasite (2019) cleaned house at Oscars, winning multiple awards with a parable of social inequality. Beyond the exquisite directing and cinematography, the Parasite script is also worth appreciating. Not only does it follow (and subvert) classic story structure, co-writers Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won managed to weave in complex and nuanced themes. The end result is a surprising, evocative and ground-breaking story. In this Parasite video essay, we’re going to map out the 15 story beats of the Parasite script using Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat beat sheet.
