FILM 100 once removed +carrie (streaming) - LUTHER

1. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• INSIDE NO. 9 (2018)
• INSIDE NO. 9 is a dark
comedy anthology TV series
from the U.K. that often has
horrific elements
• The stories are linked only
by the number 9 in some
way and a brass hare statue
that is in the background of
all episodes

2. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• ANDREW LLOYD
WEBBER:
• English composer and
impresario of musical
theatre including Phantom
of the Opera, Jesus Christ
Superstar, Evita, and Cats
• Musical Partner: Tim Rice
• Once married to singer
Sarah Brightman
• Brother to Julian Lloyd-
Webber, also a figure in the
British music world

3. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• The episode we’re going to
watch, ONCE REMOVED,
is notable because of its
unique plotting
• It’s a great example of how
STORY differs from PLOT
and the idea that it’s often
HOW a filmmaker chooses
to plot/tell a perhaps
familiar story that makes it
special and memorable

4. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• THE STORY – man plans to
kill his wife but thing go
wrong along the way causing
further problems
• THE PLOT – details about a
man’s plan to kill his wife are
revealed in reverse along the
way – it shows us the
CAUSE after we’ve already
seen the EFFECT

5. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• THE STORY – what
happens chronologically
(original order of events)
whether the audience sees
it or not – THE FACTS
• THE PLOT – only what the
filmmaker chooses to show
us and how they choose to
show it to us – THE
DELIVERY OF THE
FACTS

6. PLOT VS. STORY EXAMPLE
• This simple yet complicated
switch from a STORY to a
PLOT changes “Once
Removed” into a more
engaging and rewarding
experience for the audience
• We are pulled in not only by the
characters and what’s
happening to them, but also by
the act of figuring out what’s
going to happen based on what
already did happen…
