From this reading I was really interested by the narrative form the screen play. I thought it was interesting how I'm not really a film person but by looking at the example in the reading I could understand everything going on, like the setting and what the characters are doing in the scene. I thought the author made a nice analogy of how a screenplay is kind of like explaining what is going on in a show to your roommate who isn't paying attention as efficiently as possible. Another thing I thought was interesting from the reading was the narrative structure, and I started to apply it to films that I have seen. Like in Into the Spiderverse, the protagonist is a young Miles Morales and the antagonist is Wilson Fisk. His obstacles include finding a way to stop Fisk from destroying New York while at the same time trying to figure out how to be Spiderman. The structure is extremely simple but I think that's why it works so well.
This scene is one the pivotal moments in the movie, where Miles faces his obstacle of figuring out how to be his own Spiderman. The whole movie up until that point is Miles struggling with his identity and not viewing himself as someone worthy of being Spiderman. But in the scene he literally takes a leap of faith to be that Spiderman and believe in him self, and overcome that obstacle to save the ones he loves.
