Melanie presents one series of levels in her article here:
Code: Select all
http://dramaticapedia.com/2012/10/03/dramaticapedia-ability-2/ article about the levels of justification
which matches what she and Chris described in a 1991 tape immediately recording their breakthrough before it might've been forgotten. So I'm thinking it's still valid, but perhaps hidden in the PSR or signpost order or somewhere.
There's a different list of levels presented by them in this audio lecture:
Code: Select all
http://storymind.com/content/dramatica/Dramatica%20Audio%20Tapes/Volume%20Three/Plot%20Part%204.mp3
Question: I'm guessing both lists could be incorporated in, or they already are reflecting the same thing, just phrased somewhere in the reports, maybe the PSR or signpost order, just in different contexts.
That lecture mentions the character looks to the universe in level one then himself in level two. Is this the same order regardless of Doer or Beer?
Also, in my story, I'd suspect the IC would also undergo justification levels in order to come across as thinking, too. It's just that my change MC would go backward in the levels and my steadfast IC would go forward. I'd be sure to keep the IC's thinking process only witnessed and not personally followed by the viewer. Question: Would this feel okay to a viewer or be consistent with Dramatica, etc.?
Sorry, these are quite a few questions for one post, but they inter-relate.
