This week, Fern and Julia go back to the basics as Fern teaches the class about story structure! We discuss Freytagian story structure (Freytag's Pyramid: Barely a Triangle™️), traditional vs. experimental structures, and linear and modular storytelling. When does a story benefit from a non-linear structure? What is the value of experimental storytelling? How does the structure of A New Hope differ from the structure of The Clone Wars? And what's up with the pacing of The Bad Batch?
