Aparently almost all stories follow some simple dramaturgy.
When I first started writing in October 2009, I had no idea the word excisted.
When it came to my knowledge, I quickly wikipedied the word and found out my story already was following the simple 7 steps, descriped below.
1) Plot => Is in the first few minutes in a movie, that is suppose to capture the audience, and is full of excitement. (In Kill Bill, you see the leading role gets shot in the head, and thereafter you don't know if she is dead or what happend.)
2) Presentation => You get a short introduction to the important people involved. Who are they, what are their hobbies, are they single, married, how is their family their character?
3) First turningpoint => Within first 10-20 minutes.
This is where the character meets his/her first real obstacle, and therefore creates a conflict.
4) Development => You here more details about the conflict, and how it has its impact on the main character, and how the character develops after that.
5) Point-of-no-return => After 30-60 minutes.
The main character gets deeply in over his/her head, and it seems there is no turning back.
6) Second turningpoint => After 60-90 minutes.
Has to be something that turns the story around. Something that can help the conflict beeing solved. (American History-X, the brother experience rape in prison that gives him another view on Nazies.)
7) Conflictsolving => Takes only a few minutes, kind of like the plot. It wraps up the story. They get married, they kill eachother, they take the last jump etc. (i.e. The happy ending)
Important in the end, is to see if the story has a moral. This bit is called the premis.
