7 Basic Plots

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Basic_Plots

Pick two of these plot types that most interest you and write about them.  Why does each of these plot types interest you?  What makes them seem more interesting than the other ones?  Which two of the plot lines out of the seven would you like to use for a future video project?  Why?

    Two of the plot types that interest me are The Quest and Tragedy. I find an interest in The Quest plot as I enjoy a lot of media which follow that type and I feel that the typically character growth in quest plots is very interesting and entertaining. As for tragedy, I enjoy it a lot because two of the aspects of stories which I am most drawn to is characters and emotions. I feel as though tragedies have a large focus on these ideas and leave a lasting impact emotionally on the audience. The reason I find these more interesting than the other ones is because I am familiar with stories following these plots and I enjoy the way that characters change and are affected within the ones I've seen within these types of plots. As for future video projects, I also feel like The Quest and Tragedy are plot types that I may be likely to use. The Quest plot type can provide a good goal and want for the protagonist and create a guide for the events and plot, whereas the tragedy aspect can create a greater emotional experience.
