쉐도잉 연습: Story Structure: Act 1 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
In the last two videos, we talked about our theme and how to break your story into beats using the story spine.
2
The next step is to divide your story spine into larger sections, which we call acts.
3
Throughout history, storytellers have experimented with everything from one act to eight acts or more.
4
But the most common structure for film is the three -act structure.
5
Act 1 consists of the first three steps of our story spine.
6
once upon a time, This is where we meet our main character, known as the protagonist.
7
And we find out when and where the story takes place.
8
For example, in Finding Nemo, we're introduced to Marlin and Nemo who live in the safety of the reef
9
And we learn why Marlin worries about the dangers lurking in the open ocean.
10
The first act also tells the audience what type of movie they're about to see.
11
Is it a science fiction, a romantic comedy, a historical drama, or something else?
12
Every day.
13
This is where we learn more about how the world works.
14
For example, in Finding Nemo, we learn about the other creatures who inhabit the reef and what life is like there every day.
15
Until one day.
16
This is often called the inciting incident.
17
It's an event which leads to a key obstacle your protagonist faces and sets the rest of the story in motion.
18
In Finding Nemo, Nemo ignores his father's instructions, swims out to touch the boat, and is captured by a scuba diver.
19
In order to save him, Marlin is forced to face his biggest fear, the open ocean.
20
The first act can also introduce something called the antagonist.
21
You probably know this as a character we sometimes call the villain, but it can take many forms.
22
Generally, the antagonist is a force that gets in the way of your character's wants and needs.
23
Marlin's antagonist is something, something that stands in his way.
24
The ocean? and his fear of it.
25
Getting this first act figured out is critical, so let's ask our storytellers for some more information.
26
In Act One, we want to introduce our characters, introduce the story, and get a landscape of where the story is trying to go.
27
What's essential in the first act is that you meet the main character in her or his world.
28
and you understand their place in the world, and you understand their problem in the world.
29
you learn enough about this character that you like this character and you want to go on this journey
30
with the filmmaker and the character.
31
It's very important to two.
32
hook your audience in Act One.
33
For our movies, I think, um, WALL -E has one of the strongest first acts.
34
The world is set up, it's a tra-- I mean, it's a trash planet.
35
And it's an abandoned dystopia.
36
And yet, you have an idealist.
37
You have Wally who believes as a robot that love is possible, in an environment where he's meant to clean up the remnants of the opposite world view.
38
And it's beautiful that he doesn't, he has almost no evidence other than a little green leaf, that what he believes and feels is real.
39
And then Eve comes in and confirms to him his idealistic tendencies, that we can rise above our programming, and that we can be more than we're told,
40
and we can be more than what's around us.
41
Sometimes the inciting incident will introduce a conflict
42
that will launch the main character into a journey that will take place throughout the film.
43
In most cases I can think of, the inciting incident comes toward the end of the first act.
44
You've spent the first act setting up who the characters are, what's important, what the status quo is in the world,
45
and the inciting incident that's going to pull the rug out from under that status quo
46
is gonna launch you into act two.
47
In Wall -E, the inciting incident is when Eve is taken off of Earth into the Axiom, and Wall -E follows her up to the Axiom on the rocket.
48
He now has a goal, which is to get Eve back.
49
even though he's a robot and he could not be further from me,
50
I completely empathize with him and I want for him connection and love and the things that he aspires to.
51
To me it's an elegant beautiful heartbreaking first act.
52
And I think a successful first act gets you to invest in your character, care about your character, care about what they care about.
53
So when the thing they care about is threatened or the rug is pulled out from under them in some way,
54
you're rooting for them to launch into the second act and solve that problem.
55
Ultimately, the first act is the setup for the story.
56
It's where we learn everything we need to know about our main characters and the world, and we find something out which gets us invested in the journey which follows.
57
In the next exercise, you'll have a chance to identify the first act in your favorite films, as well as start developing a first act for the story you want to create.

"Story Structure: Act 1"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
