How can stories be told...?

Robert McKee is famous for his story seminars guiding individuals on how to write successful stories. Robert McKee's "Story Structure" is the world's ultimate story and screenwriting class because it effectively demonstrates the relationship between Story Design and Character. Using examples from over 100 films, Robert McKee demonstrates that structure and design are about form and principles, that structure is not plot, rigid rules, formulas or "Hollywood" movies.
McKee's advice tells us to follow actions and reactions of the characters and to highlight the impact of incidents on the characters. As oppose to focusing entirely on a strong plot.

"Story is what elevates a movie - turning a good one into a great one"
