I was wondering if anyone was interested in trying to identify where the 36 dramatic situations could fit in the dramatica model.
I’m assuming if we treated them like gist’s each one could potentially fit in more than one place, but I find they really help with brainstorming new scenes / sequences ect.
I imagine if we looked at the individual variants for each dramatic situation, we could more closely pinpoint where each variant sits. I’m assuming, some of the dramatic situations will have variants that are all over the map. Maybe pin point more than one place that would best fit that variant.
I figured I’d start with one and see if anyone bites. I’m finding it challenging pinning them to certain parts of the model.
Figured we could start with Erroneous Judgement.
PRECONCEPTION: Variant D4: False suspicion thrown upon an innocent because he has refused to be an accomplice
Sounds like the OS for the Fugitive. Kimble is basically framed for his wife’s murder because he won’t go along with the new big pharma drug if I remember correctly and the rest of the OS characters think he killed his wife.
