in medias res
in me·di·as res
in ˈmēdēəs ˈres,ˈmādēˌäs/
adverb
- into the middle of a narrative; without preamble.
"having begun his story in medias res, he then interrupts it"- into the midst of things.
The practice of beginning an epic or other narrative by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events; the situation is an extension of previous events and will be developed in later action. The narrative then goes directly forward, and exposition of earlier events is supplied by flashbacks.
We will be turning the saga into this form of narrative by starting in Episode 4, continuing to Episode 5, flashing back to Episodes 1-3, and then ending with Episodes 6 and 7.
There will be a question on the final exam where you will discuss the film saga in this order... so make sure you keep all of your Campbell charts handy!!
