Jacob Krueger on 7 Act structure

[treeboy03]

I recently had a listen to a rather interesting podcast on structure, taken by Jacob Krueger. For those who don't know, Jacob is a well known film tutor, who probably doesn't get the credit he deserves considering the way he teaches and how useful it is to many screenwriters around the world.

I for one was completely blown away by this guy's ideas on structure. His way of defining things worked wonders for me and the way I look at writing and I'm sure it will do the same for others.

Just to be clear, Jacob never actually states that 3 Act structure should be a thing that is ignored by us. He says that there are less-intimidating ways to look at it. To prove this, he ran this seminar on his creation: 7 Act structure, which personally changed how I look at constructing my stories.

Dan,

I will certainly check it out. I've been a proponent of the Four Act Structure for years and have discussed it on my blog several times (www.schererjoyofwriting.com/2008/06/the-four-act-structure/).

Look forward to listening to the podcast.

Keep Writing!

Cheers, Michael. A lot of writers don't agree with Krueger, but so far his way of looking at structure is the way that makes the most sense to me. I'll have a look at your four act structure method, as I've heard a friend of mine talk about that before, as well.
