The Tesseract is an enormous, hyper-cubic, grid-like structure and a means of communication for the bulk beings to express action through gravity with NASA.

The bulk beings can perceive five dimensions as opposed to four, able to see every moment in the past, present, and future. The bulk beings can influence gravity within any of those time frames.

Upon a slingshot maneuver to allow CASE and Amelia Brand to arrive on Edmunds, Cooper and TARS detached themselves from the Endurance and fell into the black hole Gargantua. They were both seemingly rescued by the bulk beings and brought into their three dimensional representation of five dimensional space. The Tesseract allowed Cooper to communicate with Murphy Cooper in various time periods, presenting time itself as a physical dimension rather than linear.

Everything is linked by the strings of time, which Cooper can manipulate. The beings made this comprehensible to Cooper by allowing him to physically interact with the Tesseract. Every push of a book from him was communicated to the appropriate time period with gravity, and when he touches the "strings" of the watch he gave his daughter, he can cause its hand to twitch from the moment he does so for the rest of its existence in time itself.

Cooper realizes that he was in fact Murph's "ghost" all along, and that while the bulk beings can perceive five dimensions, they cannot locate a point of reference in time; however, he can due to his connection and love for his daughter, drawing him to her much like gravity draws things to itself.

When the bulk beings close the Tesseract, Cooper speculates to TARS that they are not aliens but humans from millennia in the future, from a time when humans have evolved to a point they are able to harness untold amounts of energy and possess access to the entire universe.

Overview

MapMap is a free, open source software for projection mapping aimed at artists and small teams. Its intuitive interface facilitates learning and promotes artistic expression. This software is available on Windows, OSX, and Linux. MapMap gives users the ability to projection map on any surface of choice. Mapmap takes media sources and gives users the ability to manipulate the media into different positions and shapes. Media sources can come from any various accepted media formats. With an easy to understand interface, new users can get started in minutes.

Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings. By using specialized software, a two or three dimensional object is spatially mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to be projected on. The software can interact with a projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object. This technique is used by artists and advertisers alike who can add extra dimensions, optical illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects. The video is commonly combined with, or triggered by, audio to create an audio-visual narrative.

Older versions:

Launching the application

On macOS, open the application by either double-clicking on its icon in the Finder, or by clicking on its icon in the Dock.

On Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux, find its icon in the application menu and click it. You can also run it via the command-line by typing "mapmap".

On Windows, click on the windows icon and type in mapmap. Click on the MapMap icon to then launch the program.

Layout

MapMap consists of several different windows, icons, and menu options. The main windows are the Library, Layers, Input Editor and Output Editor.

Library

The Library contains the collection of sources that can be used in MapMap. The supported sources are:

media files such as:

video (see preferred video formats below)

still images (PNG, JPEG, etc)

animated GIFs

color paints/masks

webcams (currently on Linux version only)

... and more to come in future versions

Importing new media can be done in multiple ways:

Clicking on File > Import media file...

Hitting CTRL+I

Clicking the icon in the toolbar

Drag and drop media directly into library window

Preferred Video Formats:

Containers: .mov, .avi, .mp4, .ogg, .ogv

Video codec formats: Motion-JPEG / Photo-JPEG, MPEG4, Apple Pro Res 422

A introductory media / tutorial startup file can be found here: (INSERT LINK TO NEW MEDIA ? TUTORIAL ZIP FILE)

Color Sources

Adding color paints to the library can be done by choosing File > Add color paint or by clicking on the icon in the toolbar.

Once clicked on the following menu will appear once a color has been selected click "Ok" to add the color to the library.

Media sources can be deleted by simply selecting it in the Library list, and then choosing the Edit > Delete menu item or by control clicking on a media source and choosing "delete source". Since all the layers that use that source will also be deleted, a dialog will ask you for confirmation.

Layers

To the right of the library tab is the layers tab. Layers are media sources that are displayed in the output editor. Layers are created when a source from the library is selected and turned into a 1. quad, 2. triangle or 3. ellipse. This tab allows users to show/hide, lock, duplicate, and delete layers.

Layers can be deleted by selecting it in the layer list, and then choosing the "Edit > Delete" menu item.

Layers can be rearranged by dragging them on top of or below each other. Doing this also controls the layer arrangement in the output editor. Layers add vertices to the source which allows the source to be edited in a variety of ways. Next to each layer name, there are five icons:

1. Hide Icon: This hides or shows the layer.

2. Isolate Icon: This isolates the layer selected.

3. Lock Icon: This locks or unlocks the layer so it can't be modified.

4. Duplicate Layer Icon: This duplicates a layer with all it's settings .

5. Delete Icon: This deletes the selected layer.

Inspector

Below the Library and Layers tab is the Inspector menu. This menu changes according to what is selected in the Library or Layers tab. Through the Inspector menu, users can modify the selected source in a variety of ways. Options for the Layer Inspector menu:

1. Layer opacity can be changed on a 0 to 100% scale.

2. Video sources can be changed to any source in the library via the source drop down menu.

3. For Mesh Layers, there is an additional option titled "Subdivisions". This option is very powerful as it allows the user to add additional subdivisions to the original square shape. These shapes can then be modified to create complex mappings onto a variety of screen shapes / geometries.

4. X and y vertices for each point of the input shape can be modified.

5. X and y vertices for each point of the output shape can be modified.

Options for the Library Inspector menu:

1. Source opacity can be changed on a 0 to 100% scale.

2. Source location can be modified by clicking on the ... button so that a source can be swapped for another or relocated on the users hard drive.

3. Source speed can be changed on a 0 to 100% scale.

4. Source audio volume can be changed on a 0 to 100% scale.

Shapes

Currently supported shapes are: Quads/Mesh, Triangle and Ellipse. When Meshes have a dimension of two by two (2x2) vertices, they are called Quads. When they have more than 2x2 vertices, they are called A Mesh. A Mesh is a grid of vertices that allow more flexible mapping for complex output shapes.

To create a new shape, choose a source in the library and click on Quad/Mesh, Triangle or Elipse icon. A new shape will immediately be displayed in the Output Editor, where the size and shape of it can be manipulated by clicking and dragging it's vertices. You can also click on a vertices and use the arrow keys to make micro adjustments to its position. You can also use the number boxes in the inspector window to move the vertices manually. To turn a Quad into a Mesh, change its dimension changing its width, height, number boxes.

Shapes can also be transformed via a set of transform controls. Click on a vertices and then use the following keyboard shortcuts to activate the controls.

M = Move

R = Rotate

S = Scale

Full Screen Mode

Before projection mapping onto a surface check the system preferences on your machine to make sure your computer is not set on mirroring, but instead is set so that your projector is an external / additional monitor. Then use the Toggle Full Screen icon at the top of the MapMap Menu to send the output editor content to your projector or external monitor.

Special note for Apple Users: In your System Preferences > Mission Control. Make sure that "Displays have separate Spaces" is clicked or you will have control issues when you go to full screen.

Display Controls

Display Controls give the user the ability to select and move vertices both in the input and output editor menus. To hide these controls click on the top menu "View" and then click on "Display controls". Click on it again to re-enable Display Controls.

Save the project to a file

To save the current project, choose "File > Save as..." and then choose a file name. The extension file is ".mmp", but the file format is simply XML, a very common one.

Load a project from a file

To load a project from a file, choose "File > Open...".

External Control using OpenSoundControl (OSC)

IMPORTANT: This feature is currently not supported on macOS.

MapMap supports the OpenSoundControl communication protocol. Currently supported actions allow full control of existing sources and layers, such as changing a source file, adjusting opacity and visibility, changing volume, etc.

The default OSC port can be changed from the Preferences menu.

MapMap provides a flexible way to control groups of sources and layers using regular expressions. For example the following OSC message will change the opacity of all sources whose name starts with "movie-" to 50%:
/mapmap/paint/opacity ,sf "movie-*" 0.5 Read the MapMap OSC reference

Structures of a Play

Plays have been a popular form of entertainment since ancient Greece. One significant element in playwriting is the utilization of a formal plot structure, offering a clear and organized framework for shaping the structure of a play. Structuring is essential for writers to create a cohesive plot with well-defined plot points and character arcs and as such, acts are essential to explain plot structure in drama. There are two main types of dramatic structures used to characterize plays. Aristotle was one of the first to write about drama and describe its three segments: beginning, middle, and end. Over time, dramas evolved, the Roman poet, Horace advocated for five acts, and many centuries later, a German playwright, Gustav Freytag, developed the 5-act play structure commonly used today to analyze classical and Shakespearean dramas. The 5-act and three-act structures, which represent distinct parts of a play, serve as fundamental frameworks that can be observed in plays across all literary genres, from mysteries to contemporary novels, science fiction, classical dramas or even tragedy. Structure provides a fundamental blueprint for organizing the progression of narrative events. The pattern of this 5-act story structure can be seen in the familiar plot diagram called Freytag's pyramid, also known as the dramatic arc. It is a visual representation of a 5-act play that shows the structure of the plot in terms of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution:

The Three Act Structure

Aristotle believed that every piece of poetry or drama must have a beginning, middle and end. These divisions were developed by the Roman, Aelius Donatus, and called Protasis, Epitasis, and Catastrophe. The three-act story structure has seen a revival in recent years, as cinema blockbusters and hit TV shows have adopted it.

The Five Act Structure

The five act structure expands the classical divisions and can be overlaid on a traditional plot diagram, as it follows the same five parts. Shakespearean plays especially are known for following this structure.

In the illustration above, the narrative arc of the Plot Diagram is between the Five Act Structure (top) and Aristotle's divisions (bottom).

Format of a Five Act Plot Structure

How to Write Five-Act Structures

Understanding that the two dramatic structures, namely the three-act and 5-act structures, have different components and plot points is crucial for writers and analysts of plays. Acts shape the drama. Depending on how many acts in a play feature significant turning points and climactic moments, the audience's engagement and emotional investment can vary, adding depth and complexity to the theatrical experience. The following steps outline how to write a play using the five act structure.

1. Identify the Key Plot Points: Begin by identifying the main events that will shape the story, such as the inciting incident, the climax, and the resolution.

2. Divide the Story Into Five Acts: Divide the story into five parts: the introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

3. Set the Stage: The introduction should establish the setting and introduce the main characters, while also setting up the main part of the story where complications arise. In the first half of the play, the audience is introduced to the main characters and the initial conflict, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. In the second half, the story intensifies, presenting greater challenges and pushing the narrative to its climax.

4. Build the Tension: In the rising action, the protagonist should face increasingly difficult obstacles that raise the stakes and create tension for the audience.

5. Reach the Climax: The main climatic moment is the turning point of the story, where the protagonist must confront the main conflict and make a crucial decision.

6. Begin the Resolution: The falling action should provide a sense of closure and begin to tie up loose ends from the story.

7. Bring the Story to a Close: In the resolution, the protagonist should achieve some form of resolution, either positive or negative, that provides a sense of closure for the audience.

8. Edit and Revise: Once the story is complete, revise and edit the structure as needed to ensure that the story flows smoothly and the dramatic structure is effectively employed.

By following these steps, you can create a five-act dramatic structure that effectively engages your audience and provides a compelling narrative.

Examples of the Five Act Structure with Shakespeare's Plays

Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's most well-known plays, serves as a good example of the five-act structure. By using Freytag's pyramid to analyze the plot, we can see how the play's events unfold and identify the key plot points that drive the story forward.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's most well-known plays, serves as a good example of the 5-act structure. By using the Freytag pyramid to analyze the plot, we can see how the play's events unfold and identify the key plot points that drive the story forward.

Act 1: The Exposition

Setting: Verona Italy, 16th or 17th century

Characters: Capulets and Montagues, specifically, Romeo and Juliet

Conflict: The Montagues and Capulets are feuding

Romeo and Juliet fall in love but cannot be together because their families do not like each other. They decide to get married in secret. ​

Act 3: The Climax

After crashing the Capulet party, Tybalt goes after the Montague crew and kills Mercutio.

To avenge his friend, Romeo duels with and kills Tybalt - Juliet's cousin.

Romeo is banished, but before he goes he gives Juliet a proper wedding night!

Act 4: Falling Action

Juliet's parents arrange a marriage for her to Paris.

She and the Friar have an elaborate plan to get her out of a second marriage by faking her death. Part of this plan is that Romeo will receive a letter saying she's not dead.

Romeo - never having received the letter - thinks Juliet has died (see our article on dramatic irony).

Romeo buys poison and goes to her tomb to commit suicide.

Act 5: Denouement or Resolution

Romeo confronts Paris at Juliet's tomb, and slays him before taking his own life.

Juliet awakens from her sleeping potion to see Romeo has committed suicide.

She takes his dagger and kills herself.

The Friar and Nurse explain to the Capulet and Montague families that the two lovers were married in secret.

Both families are saddened by the situation, and vow to end their long-standing feud.

As You Like It

As You Like It, a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, is an exemplary story type that follows the five-act structure.

Act 1: The Exposition

Setting: France, the story starts in Duke Fredrick's court, however, the rest of the play is set in the Forest of Ardenne.

Characters: Duke Frederick, Duke Senior, Rosiland, Celia, Orlando, Oliver, Touchstone, and Jaques

Frequently Asked Questions about The Five Act Play (Dramatic Structure)

What is the five act structure in a play?

The 5-act structure is a format of dramatic structure commonly used in classical and Shakespearean dramas. It expands the three-act structure by dividing the narrative into five parts: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

What is the origin of the five act structure?

The 5-act structure was developed by the Roman poet Horace and later used by Gustav Freytag to analyze classical and Shakespearean dramas.

What is the purpose of the exposition in the five act structure?

The exposition is the first act in the 5 act structure. Its purpose is to introduce the setting, develop the characters, and present the main conflict of the play to the audience.

What is the difference between the rising and falling action in the five act structure?

The rising action is the second act and eventually leads the audience to the climax. It often involves complications and obstacles for the protagonist. So what does rising action mean in the context of a play? It is all about the tension and emotions created. Without rising movement, the climax would lack the necessary buildup and impact, and the falling action and resolution would not have the same emotional impact.

It occurs in the fourth act, where the story is coming to an end, and any unknown details or plot twists are revealed and wrapped up. So what does this mean in the context of a play? It is the opposite of Rising Action, whereby the story is coming to an end, and any unknown details or plot twists are revealed and wrapped up in a moment of final suspense.

What is an act in a play?

An "act" in a play is a major segment that helps organize the story, with each act containing a series of scenes to develop the plot and characters. It marks significant shifts in the narrative and can vary in number, commonly being 3 or 5 acts. The concept of 'act definition,' theater-specific terminology, is instrumental in the organization and structuring of a play, with each act representing a significant division that contributes to character development, plot progression, and the overall theatrical experience.

What is dramatic structure?

Dramatic structure is the overarching term that encompasses the design and organization of a narrative in dramatic works. It provides the essential framework for how the story unfolds, guiding the pacing and emotional arc of the plot. It outlines how the story is presented and unfolds, including key elements of the five-act structure. Dramatic structure examples, such as the three-act and five-act models, provide writers with tried-and-true frameworks to craft compelling narratives, while also allowing room for creative innovation.

Why is a 5 act structure used?

The 5-act structure is a dramatic structure commonly used in storytelling, particularly in plays and films. While the more traditional structure for many centuries was the three-act structure (beginning, middle, and end), the 5-act structure provides a more detailed and nuanced approach to storytelling. Here are some reasons why the 5-act structure is used:

Increased Complexity: The additional acts allow for more complexity and depth in the development of the plot and characters. This can be especially useful for stories with multiple subplots or intricate narratives.

Rising Action and Climax: The 5-act structure often includes a distinct rising action leading up to the climax, providing a more gradual build-up of tension and suspense. This can enhance the emotional impact of the story.

Character Arcs: With more acts, there's more room for the development of character arcs. Characters can undergo significant changes, face challenges, and experience growth over the course of the five acts.

Pacing Control:The 5-act structure allows for more precise control over the pacing of the story. Each act can serve a specific purpose and contribute to the overall flow of the narrative.
