Structure is a very important aspect of cinema. The classic structure of the film is set in 3 acts and divides a narrative into 3 parts. Each part reveals and describes the plot of a film. The first act will establish the main characters, the world or setting in which these characters live, and their character relationships. The second will start to increase the action. This will represent the protagonist's attempts to deal with the situation he faced. This act will demonstrate the strength the antagonist has over the protagonist and how the audience sees this unraveling. The third act is the resolution of the story. That is, how did the antagonist overcome the antagonist's strength? And how the responses to the plot develop for the viewer. Now, in modern, independent film production, this three-act structure can be manipulated in a non-linear way so that the structure is split into different settings, with separate characters and different objectives. . The plot does not necessarily have to follow a chronological order. The climax can be shown earlier, rather than at the end of the film. The film can be told backwards to see where the story began. Storylines can now be customized by the director to how they wish to portray a story. Most big-budget Hollywood films stick to the classic three-act structure, where, as independent filmmakers might shy away from the conventional way of making films, this non-linear narrative structure challenges the conventional rules of plot construction and breaks the The standard idea is that the scenes of a film must progress in chronological order from the opening to the climax.
