The
resolution phase of a film happens in the last act of a three-act
film. During the resolution everything is at stake and the
conflict is solved.
In
a love story the protagonist has to, for example, decide between
the two candidates.
In
an action film the protagonist is on his own at the mercy
of the antagonist.
In
a war film there is the very battle that has been talked about
and feared throughout the film.
In
a horror film one goes into the monster's cave to kill it
etc.
According
to the Swedish film dramaturgist Ola Olsson, the
drama structure of a fiction film has six parts:
- start-up sequence
- presentation
- amplifying
- culmination of conflicts (acceleration)
- resolution
- fade out
