Robert McKee's Story Triangle

Title

Robert McKee's Story Triangle

Description

Classical Design means a story built around an active protagonist who struggles against primarily external forces of antagonism to pursue his or her desire, through continuous time, within a consistent and causally connected fictional reality, to a closed ending of absolute, irreversible change.

Minimalism/ MiniPlot = Reduced version of the Archplot. Strives for simplicity and economy while retaining enought of the classical to satisfy the audience.

Antiplot = reverses and contradicts the classical forms. (Ridicules them.) Extravaganet and self-conscious overstatement.

Miniplot and Antiplot wouldn’t exist without the Archplot.
