Conceptualization versus Conception
Posted: Dec 07, 2013 8:37 am
Hi everyone,
This has come up a few times as I compare movies with the story form on Dramatica. I have some grasp, but am not as sure as I'd like to be. Conceptualization (Developing a Plan) sometimes seems indistinguishable from Conception (Conceiving an Idea). One of the founders of the theory likened Conceptualization to figuring out how a lightbulb would work. Conception would be the thought of having a lightbulb.
So, in the SS, Conceptualization comes up quite often. Examples are "Notting Hill" and "Galaxy Quest". That appreciation seems to be about saying "these people can't relate well together".
Are there good techniques for distinguishing Conception from Conceptualization when you're watching a movie without a story form?
Thanks. I appreciate the help everyone's giving on this forum.
