5 W and 1H – as principles of film

This poster is a promotional poster for the movie 'Braveheart'

Film and television art is a small part of art, belonging to popular art, which can bring people a more intuitive feeling and a good visual experience. But the creation of the movie is very interesting, it follows 5W and 1H, and I will divide it into 6 parts for users to experience

The steps are as follows

1.Watch a  short video to introduce the topic(50s)
2.Provide a situational story as a case study and ask several questions (what does the story tell? Who is the protagonist of the story? When and where did the story happen? Why did the story happen? How did the process go?)(5min)

Let me give you an example:https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdFUGGH1/(This is a example.The story of William Wallace dating the girl he likes in Braveheart)

I will use this clip as an example to answer these questions:1.This story shows that William Wallace dating the girl he likes  2William Wallace and the girl are protagonist of the story   3. When:evening,Where:mountain village and mountain  4.Why:The background of the story is the oppression of the Scottish people by nobles, who enjoy all privileges, including the right to first night.William Wallace went on a rainy night to go on a date with the girl he liked, hoping to secretly marry her to avoid the first night power of the royal family and nobles. 5.On a rainy night, William Wallace went to find the girl he liked and rode her up the mountain. The two of them had a reminiscence on the mountain, and Wallace shared his inner thoughts, and told the love to her.

3.Choose a theme you like and watch related short stories or videos(4min)
4.After watching, think about the topic you have chosen based on the questions in the example(3min)
5.Create a short story based on your favorite topic and outline the story(5min)(I can give you an example)

Example: I want to talk a story named “Freshly ground coffee machine”  This story shows a boy named Peter(Who) is a

senior high school student.   One a Friday afternoon(When) , he came the school cafe  to buy coffee. ( Where)  When he took his coffee,he found the coffee machine can fulfill his wish   (What )  He    changed , his wish getting biger and biger.(How)  He gets sick,  but he still wants to fulfill wishes . (Why he fainted)Finally  he fainted

6.Summarize this creation and see if you have any understanding of the 5W and 1H of the movie(2min)
