= = || * A well-developed story structure is critical to conveying meaning in an animation or comic. Key moments are essential for the telling of any given narrative. * Shot selection includes all the functions of framing, composition, perspective and camera angles. Students will select key moments from their story and create a **//Splash Page//** based on the content of their story. Splash page needs to contain a key moment from the story, a title, indicia and text.
 * Story structure can be separated into three basic acts.
 * 1) The **Setup** establishes pre existing conditions through chosen characters and setting. In addition, new characters, actions or events are added in the setup.
 * 2) **Conflict** is the result of character interaction based on their personalities, actions, and relationships**.** Reversals, complications and secondary conflicts develop the story and leads to the resolution.
 * 3) The **Resolution** of conflicts either temporarily or permanently solves the conflict with things returning to normal or a changed situation.
