Theoretical Film Analysis

Project Overview

To build your own worlds, you need to understand how others work. This portfolio contains my professional analyses of films (Parasite, Moon, Antebellum, and others). I look at them not as a viewer, but as a writer: I search for the characters’ “false beliefs,” points of no return, and the hidden springs that make the plot move.

Inside

  • Structure Deconstruction: Finding turning points and climaxes that hold the audience’s attention.
  • Archetypes and Shadows: Analysis of how a character’s internal breakdown dictates the logic of the external conflict and events.
  • Psychology of Motivation: Investigating why the viewer (or player) cares about what is happening.

“A story is not what happened to the hero, but who they became in the end.”
