Literature and field studies were performed to delve deeper in story structure theories and their implementations, starts from 3 acts structure, 8 sequences structures, and hero’s journey. Based on observation, these theories have been used in many box office films. Those theories are flexible, not strict formulas more likely the guidance maps to compose story. Structure story theories are the frameworks. But the content in the framework depends on each individual’s creativity. Therefore, using those theories won’t make our story generic.
