Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the

main part of a story. These events relate to each other in a pattern or a


sequence.

and setting are established

setting and protagonist. This is where the author sets up the story including
characters, setting, and main conflicts.

events, settings, characters etc. to the audience or readers. The word comes
from the Latin language and its literal meaning is a showing forth. Exposition
is crucial to any story, for without it nothing makes sense

information about the past events to the viewers. The crawling text on the
screen at the beginning of each part gives the audience every piece of
information they need to understand the upcoming events in the film. The
opening lines usually begin like this: A long time ago in a galaxy far away, far
away

Rising action describes the introduction of the conflict and


the resulting complications. The Rising Action occurs as you begin to move
throughout the story. This is where conflicts start to build just like when you climb a
mountain you are moving further along.
