Story Grid's 6 Core Questions (Cutting Room Floor #124)

We ask these questions to do our weekly film breakdowns, so it seemed like a good idea to list them out and explain what each question means and is getting at. So, here you go (courtesy of storygrid.com):

1. What is the beginning hook, middle build, and ending payoff?

2. What is the Global Genre?

3. What are the Conventions and Obligatory Scenes of the Global Genre?

4. What is the POV? (and Is there a Narrative Device?)

5. What is/are the Object(s) of Desire?

6. What is the Controlling Theme/Idea?

Also, Josh recommends AEW Wrestling, and Ira recommends the Evangelion feature film remakes, which are currently on Netflix.
