The 'Hollywood' Narrative Structure

One of the structures that I have looked at is the 'Hollywood' narrative. This is formed through different sections which I applied to my Foundation Portfolio of 'Early Days', which allowed me to understand the components of the structure more clearly.
1. Exposition and Development
Protagonists: Bethany/Scott
Antagonists: Scott's Parents
2. Conflict
Bethany's disorder causes strain upon their relationship
3. Elaboration
The couple break up due to Scott's parents
4.Climax and Resolution
Bethany relapses and returns to hospital. Seeing Scott's unhappiness, his parents allow their relationship to rebuild
5. Coda
The couple reunite, Bethany returns from hospital


Although it would be possible to use this form of structure in my music video, it may be tricky as the song would need to be primarily narrative based rather than performance, which runs the risk of it appearing more as a trailer rather than a promotional video.
