I am a novice. Story Goal’s theme must be equal to the Overall Story Concern? Or other rules? And then based on this, Set Consequences, Requirements, Forewarnings,etc.?
@fly2spring welcome. I would like to suggest that you watch a few of the Dramatica storyform analysis videos. They go through an optimized sequence for nailing down the story points. Two of them in particular were so enlightening to me. The Babadook breakdown and then the Zootopia one. Another worthy mention is the Bourne Identity.
In most western movies, the Overall story concern is usually the Goal. That’s why they set that in the software. But in the theory itself, the Goal could be any one of the other Throughline concerns. But for now stick to the software until you’ve gotten much more familiar with the whole thing. Hope this helps. Also visit narrativefirst.com. @jhull goes through Throughlines on Thursdays. Hope this helps. Have fun.
