What impressed me about my favorite films' structure is that they have a well-leveled set of pacing and progression upon a literary set of events, ranging from the beginning to the conclusion (with rising action, climax, and falling action in between). It sets both a good convey of storytelling and dramatic highlights.

The stories for each unfolded in different ways, but most usually followed a rough template of chronology, whether by telling the past, being set in the past as part of the ongoing course of the story, telling the past only in the beginning, references of the past during present ongoing events in the film, and/or flashbacks.

Can I use any of this to inform my work? Surely so, but only by title mention and examplified means. Devling about into them is probably not to be done.
