Thank you for commenting. Thats correct. If the climax (sequence 7) of your film is a catastrophic loss then sequence 6 would typically be a big win. There may be various other wins and losses throughout the film. But these 2 points are the biggest win and the biggest loss. Taking a classic Western as an example. Sequence 6 is typically where the main character is wounded to the point of near death. The character then returns in sequence 7 for a big win. That big loss creates even more tension in sequence 7 and helps make that big win even bigger. For an opposite example you could look at films like Wolf of Wall Street. The main character is rich and successful right up until the end of the film where everything is completely unraveled and everyone goes to jail etc. A big win just before a big loss creates a lot of contrast between these 2 points and ultimately creates a fall from grace for the protagonist, which then creates a significantly more dramatic and impactful climax. All of that being said, it’s also important to remember that these structures are more focused on making marketable stories and it is perfectly fine for you to break any of these ‘rules’, especially if you are mainly just looking to learn and experiment with your own unique style of storytelling.

Thank you for pointing that out. I might go and have another watch of MI: Fallout to see if I can spot the different sequences. :)

I don't know what your comment is trying to say. But either way, thank you for taking the time to be here. 🙌

Thank you for commenting. It's great to hear that you recently read 'Save the Cat'. It is a great book and offers a lot of helpful tips. I believe I read it around 8 or so years ago. And while it is certainly quite helpful, for my personal writing style, I found the 8 Sequence Story Structure more suitable. 'Save the Cat' provides instructions on how to write the story step by step. Although for me, the best part of the 8 Sequence Story Structure is that it aims to specifically break a feature down into 8 short films. The main benefit of this structure is in finding a way to make an intimidating feature film appear much more manageable. Although it makes perfect sense if you prefer the 'Save the Cat' method as every writer is different and may find certain tools more suited to their writing style over others. Thank you again for watching. 😀

8 sequence story structure is not mentioned in Save the Cat.

Isn’t “fun and games”?

@@ayrengreber5738 Yes, in this entire video, the only concept from save the cat is "fun and games", which he even puts in air quotes as a nod to the ubiquitous phrase.
