When you think of Story and Plot you think of them as the same thing. Many people make this mistake. They are very different things. After reading the article "Martin Scorsese Breaks Down the Differences between Story and Plot" and watching the videos attached, I have learned the difference. Scorsese starts to explain the difference in the first attached video. He describes how he enjoys story over plot because when he watched major pictures over and over the characters are what draws him in. Scorsese says that a good way to tell a good story is with your camera movement and that it becomes more interesting to him. We can predict that any famous director like Scorsese would say Story over Plot because of the way they look at movies. They think this because they think that photography and soundtrack is what draws in the audience. Throughout this article they basically give different definitions and examples of Plot and Story. My favorite description is very short and simple to understand.
Plot is what happens
Story is why it happened and how
In my own opinion I agree with Scorsese. Story is more important than Plot. The reason i think that is because I am a film maker. In the eyes of someone who is not a film maker, they are the same thing.
