Structure
'Narrative arc' is perhaps a more useful term than dramatic structure. Dramatic structures and narrative arcs have one thing in common: they show a journey. They are movement through space (place) and time.

Story v. Narrative v. Plot
Story is the 'what' (the subject), narrative is the 'how' (structure), plot is the 'why' (the causality)
Research point
I read a book I am travelling alone by Samuel Bjork.
Plot:
there are murder series of six-year old girls who are carefully draped into doll dress and hang into a wood and other places as flying angels. The detective team slowly reveals what is going on.
Character:
Holger Munch - detective leader of the investigate team
Mia Krüger - talented investigator
About their development. Holger is described as a man who loves puzzles and cigarettes. Mia has psychical problems and she is decided to commit a suicide. She bought a home on a island. She consumes a drugs and alcohol. Holger is expected to bring Mia back to investigation of the murders.
Even character's look is not accurately described I was surprised when author described some of it in the middle of the book. For example when I have got information that Holger has a beard. It completely destroyed my image of Holger :-) In my imagination he has not the beard. I hope it was in this book.
Theme:
It is a criminal novel.

Aristotle - how to write a good play
The six elements that determine the quality of a play:
- Plot
- Character
- Thought (theme)
- Diction
- Spectacle
Aristotle's first four elements are essential to the construction of a story, any story in any form.
Exercise 2
Write a list of everything you've read or written or seen or heard in the last 24 hours.
- we were talking about Red Dwarf at work, I have just seen the first episode
- I played a ZOMBI game at evening yesterday
- I wrote many business mails at office
How many stories are contained within your list?
RedDwarf: story about Lister and his 3 mil year pause
ZOMBI: apocalyptic story with zombie topic
Is it art? There is not the right or wrong answer, right? For me the RedDwarf is art, especially art of specific humor which I love. The story in ZOMBI game is also interesting, and there are many games which have great story (The last of us), FireWatch is a game with great atmosphere, where you talk with a woman vie walkie talkie and you will never see her, you know only her voice. Those games can take you to specific places, make you sad, happy, take you on places in times you can not experience in real life.
How do you, personally, define a creative and artistic piece of writing?
I love to read a detective story. I love Sherlock Holmes. Last days I found out that inspector Wallander and other character from north countries are amazing. These stories keep my attention for hours, they are fresh, beautifully written. I can not define the artistic piece of writing but the Hazel's essay 'Creative Writing and New Media' showed me other style of writing, particularly the connection between text + sound + computer software. I like the interactivity given into a 'story'.

White Black is moving and other playing with GIF format
The intention here was to visualize White by black and black by white.
And here I used my some recorded videos and used Flash (It was very painful, I think Premiere could be better).
