"The Hollywood Formula"
With every piece of work you produce, a beginning, middle and end is required, which can be used to set up the story, character and setting, and then to build up the action and confrontation of the central theme of work; then a climax, which produces a resolution or conclusion to the story. The audience will be satisfied with this outcome as it is something they're accustomed to, so even changing the ending of the work would be satisfactory as long as all the answers for the audience are provided.
The plot of the film is to lead you to one thing to another, or possibly mis-leading you in some way only to direct you at the end. A lot of films, mostly Disney stories, follow this outline as it's a common way of surprising the audience and still leaving a lot to respond with.
Although this seminar seemed unrelatable to our work at first, I realised that when producing my work or creating an essay, it would be essential to follow the Hollywood Formula in my own work, as this is a good way of knowing that the audience would be able to follow your piece - particularly, it's a good method of being able to compare your work to it, so you know that you're on the right track about things.
