Thank you! :)

@@moviemellon btw I must say that I loved your insertion of Bergman's Persona into this -- I have already watched The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, so Persona is next

@bellamorts I can also highly recommend Cries and Whispers. Also great.

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely check that for the future :)

Second!

The main issue with all of these definitions [mine included] is that they are all true in a sense. The PLOT is just another part of any STORY. There can’t be a PLOT without a STORY. And I agree, in hindsight I failed to mention that: Yes, a PLOT is also a sequence of events within a broader sequence of events. However, a plot serves to give context to a story. The STORY is the who and the what (Who is the character and What happens). The PLOT is the Why and the How (Why do these things happen and How will the STORY unfold). In the words of E.M. Forster: “The king died and then the queen died is a story. The king died, and then the queen died of grief, is a plot.” Another big issue with semantic theory like this is that definitions are prone to change due to conventional use. Since people started using the terms STORY and PLOT interchangeably, the meanings ultimately ended up bleeding into each other. (Other cases like this include the definition of ‘literally‘ being changed to also mean ‘figuratively/virtually‘ which used to be the exact opposite.)

Thank you so much for your kind words! There really is something very special about cherishing silence from time to time. Not only do you get an opportunity to think, but also gives you a chance to truly observe the world around you.

"In a literary work, film, or other narrative, the plot is the sequence of events in which each event affects the next one through the principle of cause-and-effect. The causal events of a plot can be thought of as a series of events linked by the connector "and so"." Story is the series of events. Plot is the cause and effect sequence of a story. My intel comes from a Bachelor’s Degree in Linguistics and Literary Studies.

@@moviemellon I disagree and stand by my statement. Other than my questioning of your credentials and congratulations on that. Stories are survival information, either for the survival of the audience or in some causes the narrator. But that’s what a story is, information that benefits someone. So depending on what a story is about determines it’s utility or function the story has in it’s audience or narrators life. Plot is just the parts that make the chair. You only need enough plot to make your chair stand. To much plot that doesn’t service the story is a chair with a potato peeler attached to it. Not enough plot , you’re likely going to miss whatever point you’re trying to make. The point, plot, thesis , base, foundation, takeaway or “theme” of a story IS the story.

@@moviemellon and if you check and compare your claim to a actual story, your claim doesn’t hold up.

@@moviemellon and your quote just describes time.

It’s nice for you to stand by your statement, yet the differentiation I provided is the one that is used as a rule by millions of storytellers around the globe. This is not about opinions, this is about what is used as a guideline. You know… the… "official" definition. This is also disregarding the fact that you entirely disregard what I said in the video about Story and Plot being so tightly interwoven that one cannot really exist without the other.

...

It’s impossible to do justice to the power and value of silence. Especially in a mere 4 1/2 minute long video. Though it’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? The age where communication is easier than it has ever been before is also the age where communication is lost on us all. Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

@@moviemellon I have found myself laughing often from the irony in the world around us, if I don't I will start crying.

@@jenniferbauman It really would be funny if it wasn't so sad. :D

It's something we are too scared to embrace, yet impossible to escape.

And its sometimes preferable compared to certain people.

Oh that’s a wonderful analogy! I love it.

Great analogy. I've copied your analogy and saved it for future reference. Thanks!

Great analogy that’s why train movies do so well

I‘m really glad to hear it was useful to you!! :)

Thank you very much!! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! :) I‘m glad that I was able to inspire someone with something I made. That’s amazing!

Maybe not exactly the intellectual level, but rather creative capacity of the individual.

That's honestly a lovely thought to have. The idea of having a sort of temporal divide within the shot. Questions that can only be answered without certainty. Let's see where life will take us. If you are into Experimental Documentaries I can recommend films like Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio or Chantal Akerman’s "D’est".

@@moviemellon oh yeah! Why didn't I think of Ackerman? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I've seen some of her films. Thank you for the suggestions.

You may also want to look into Stan Brakhage‘s stuff too. But there are so many other directiors that are worth checking out tbh.

@@moviemellon You should see my watchlist 😅 I need to watch more movies.

Even after putting in a lot of research and trying to explain the topic as thoroughly as I was able to at the time I still struggle to fully grasp the difference of both hahaha

This is a very nice and thoughtful addition to the video, thank you very much. It is very difficult to thoroughly explain these two concepts, especially since there are so many definitions - some contradictory. To quote McNulty, there is no rock-solid official definition. I think the definition of 'story' doesn't exclusively have to be either the "what" or the "why". As I said in my video the relation between story and plot is so tightly connected to each other, that it may very well be both "what" and "why" (to an extent). However, I still think that the definition makes the most sense if we phrase it as such: "What is the story and why does it progress from A to B?" But in the end, it's all a matter of phrasing, really.

And McNulty is absolutely right ! The story is the why The plot is the who what when where how James shoot mike and then mike jump behind the a car = PLOT / A SIMPLE SEQUENCE OF " EVENTS " James shoot mike because after giving him so much opportunities to surrender james finally understand than nothing will stop mike = STORY / WHY THE EVENTS HAPPEN If story was a simple sequence of events we would have substories and not subplots ! Don't trust neither me or neither this guy video just make your own research on PLOT driven STORY and CHARACTER driven STORY. You will understand the function of the plot more easily and therefore understand the difference between plot and story ! You can also see it in STORYBOARDING E.G what is a scene and what is a sequence the scene is the plot and the sequence is the story. Peace & good luck on your journey

Hey I‘m glad I could help! Thank you :)

Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words, they do mean so much to me. I am really glad the effort is appreciated. It did take me one hell of a time to edit though. So there’s a lot of effort and care put into it :)

You may think so but you are actually wrong as is the guy in the video ! The story is the why The plot is the who what when where how James shoot mike and then mike jump behind the a car = PLOT / A SIMPLE SEQUENCE OF " EVENTS " James shoot mike because after giving him so much opportunities to surrender james finally understand than nothing will stop mike = STORY / WHY THE EVENTS HAPPEN If story was a simple sequence of events we would have substories and not subplots ! Don't trust neither me or neither this guy video just make your own research on PLOT driven STORY and CHARACTER driven STORY. You will understand the function of the plot more easily and therefore understand the difference between plot and story ! Peace & good luck on your journey

Thank you so much! 😊 it took me long enough, that’s for sure lmao 😂

The storyboards are a passion I found not too long ago! And the animation was just the cherry on top. I wrote, drew and directed everything by myself :) With this one, I tried to capture the feeling when I last visited my childhood hometown. So… it’s absolutely very close to home

Whenever I make one of the 60-Day-Update videos, I write the scripts live. Just a couple of minutes edited out, to not end up with a 40min video lmao By all means! Go ahead and write! By now, writing has become somewhat of a type of therapy for me.

@@moviemellon I ken that. I've been sleeping for days on just writing and creating and I'm gonna do it for days hehe (Till the next time I forget and binge watch TV Series)

I think I never did to be honest. The footage was improvised on the spot without too much planning going into it. Similar to the Body video.

@@moviemellon Good stuff good stuff. Even if you just watch short clips from the show I promise you'll find some interesting scenes. Dark and gloomy beauty

Hey I‘m glad it was somewhat helpful! I will be talking about all different kinds of points all the way from different story structures to how to outline your story and many more. So definitely stick around for all different kinds of screenwriting and filmmaking things! Maybe you know a person or two who’d benefit from these things too! Feel free to share it with them :)

Hey I‘m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! I‘m really glad it’s appreciated! Will do a whole lot more of these in the future.

What a weird grasshopper. Playing mind games on me and stuff.

Oh yeah it took me a long time haha. I think it was something around a month. Working on it on and off for a couple of hours whenever I had the time. But thank you! :)

Hey thanks so much! It means a lot!

Thanks for the hint! Yeah the walking is the toughest for me for sure. Probably add a few more frames to each cycle could help. Thanks for the kind words!!

It is! Finding a decent spot, fairly close to the city for a reasonable price is well-nigh impossible!

Next one will hopefully be with a little more substance. Thank you though!! :)
