Endings

There are many different types of endings. They can embrace, divide, upbeat, or be bitter sweet. Here are the most used types:

1.  Circular -> end as you begin.

2.  Triumphant ending -> Fantasy/ Sci-Fi / Action

3.  Embrace/Blessing -> romantic comedy.  Character and relationship.  Union, acceptance, or understanding.

4.  Going down the road alone ->  In life you are alone so character is alone.  Typically westerns, detective and gangster films.

5.  Freeze Frame ->  Everything stops but the story continues.  Thelma & Louise, Butch Cassidy, Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels. 

6.  Extreme Long Shot -> After an intense moment used to give perspective.  American Beauty.
