The Witch S1 S3
This episode of Buffy and the Art of Story covers The Witch, Season 1, Episode 3.
Buffy and the Art of Story is for anyone who wants to learn more about plot, characterization, and other story elements by watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Every discussion is spoiler-free, except at the end (with plenty of warning).
Story Elements in The Witch
In this podcast episode we’ll look at how Buffy handles:
Opening Conflict
Story Spark (a/k/a Inciting Incident)
The first major plot turn at the one-quarter mark
The Midpoint
The twist at the three-quarter point
The Climax
Falling Action
Continuing character arcs
We’ll also talk about some highlights from the Buffy Season 1 DVD commentaries by Joss Whedon.
The 7 Season Plan
Buffy and the Art of Story plans to cover every episode of Buffy in order and spoiler-free — except at the end so I can talk about foreshadowing, but I’ll give you plenty of warning.
Down the road there’ll be a Patreon account where you’ll be able to get a free story structure template. As a patron, you’ll also get access to bonus episodes.
Those episodes will include Buffy-adjacent stories (such as key Angel episodes). Also films or TV episodes that are intriguing from a story, theme, or character perspective.
Requests will be welcome.
Next Up: Teacher’s Pet, S1 E4
