Exposition/Beginning - Introduces the audience to the story and where it is set (location).
Complication - The balance in the story gets disturbed.
Climax - The disruption of the balance is at a peak at this point in the story.
Resolution - The balance in the story gets restored to either a new normal or the previously existing one.
The following structure shown below is of Indie Game: The Movie.
Exposition/Beginning - Phil Fish and his game, Fez, are introduced to the audience as well as his work environment, personality and vision.
Complication - It is explained how his previous business partner left on bad terms and has still not signed over the rights to Phil Fish so, the potential for a lawsuit is high if the game is to be displayed at the Penny Arcade Expo, where showing it will greatly help the game gain traction and popularity before it gets released.
Climax - Phil Fish is forced to go to the Expo without getting permission from his previous partner due to the necessity of the game gaining popularity. He risks everything by continuing to show the game even after great contemplation at home.
Resolution: Phil Fish's business partner eventually shows up and signs over the rights. This eliminates the risk of having to show the game at the Penny Arcade Expo. As an added bonus, Jerry Holkins, the man who runs the Expo, personally compliments Phil on his game and says that he looks forward to the release of it.
