On February 15th, our team started looking at the Save the Cat Beat Sheet Narrative Structure and diving into the exposition of our film. We focused on creating a strong narrative arc by analyzing the key beats in the Save the Cat methodology. This framework helped us structure our story, making sure each plot point had emotional depth and narrative coherence. Details of exposition were looked at, considering elements like mise en scene, dialogue, narration, and flashback to help convey important information to the audience while keeping them engaged.
