FAQ
What are Mythosis plot structures?
Each mythological tale is a sequence of events. Interweaving two of them results in the emergence of a sequence of events which is very different from both the original tales. Any Mythosis plot structure is a unique sequence of events that emerges on interweaving multiple mythological tales.
The interweaving of 32 mythological tales creates infinite possibilities of plot structures. Since, every story is an arrangement of events, it is a subset of one of the infinite Mythosis plot structure.
How Is Mythosis Plot Structure Different From A Story?
Mythosis plot structure is NOT a story, it is a skeletal framework. It is a meticulous arrangement of events that has a well-defined beginning, middle, and end. It provides a nuanced portrayal of each character’s quest within the broader context of others. The plot structure requires a storyteller to transform it from a skeleton into a fully-fledged story.
Storytellers play a crucial role in shaping plot structures by bringing their unique vision, creativity, and voice. They craft compelling characters, develop unique worlds, weave together themes, create spectacular scenes, and write impactful dialogues.
How Does Mythosis Plot Structure help Storytellers?
Mythosis plot structures strengthen the foundation of a story. Evaluation of the stoy’s existing plot structure reveals whether the quests are inconsistent, shallow or disconnected.
For each mythological tale Mythosis has curated a unique sequence of events. These events capture the nuances and distinctive elements of each tale, spanning five major arcs with their own twists and turns. We incorporate the missing events from each tale to amend inconsistent quests, develop shallow ones, and improve the interweaving of quests.
Can an existing Plot Structure be used to create a fresh Story?
Yes, Avatar was made using the plot structure of Dances with Wolves. We learnt two things from this adaptation.
First, one can create a new story by changing the setting and world of a blockbuster plot.
Second, adding more unique quests can make the plot stronger.
Though, a common mistake is copying scenes instead of plot structure. Like how Free Willy couldn’t capture the magic of E.T. because it focused on adapting scenes, not the plot structure.
How long does it take to make the plot structure?
It takes 7 days to extract a story’s plot structure and estimate the box-office revenue.
To create a story’s ideal plot structure, it takes 21 days. These timeframes are for a screenplay that’s 120-180 page long.
About Us
After establishing the Story Lab at Disney Star, I came to two key realizations. First, even today, stories draw deeply from 5,000-year-old mythological tales. Second, existing plot structures fail to fully harness the immense potential embedded within these tales. This led me on a seven-year journey to uncover the fundamental human quests within mythological tales, explore how blockbuster stories capitalize on them and ultimately develop Mythosis.
Mythosis is both an endless canvas for creative expression and a dependable guide for crafting compelling stories. By interweaving 32 mythological tales, it reveals infinite plot structures, enabling storytellers to transform any unique idea into a story. At the same time, the Mythosis Code, rooted in the foundational principles of storytelling, ensures that raw concepts are honed and refined into blockbuster stories. The harmonious approach of imagination and structured discipline creates a platform where originality flourishes, and narratives come to life with depth and resonance.
