Plot Vrs. Story

Plot and Story are key factors to any good writing piece, whether it is a novel or a screenplay. Commonly mistaken for the same thing, both Plot and Story may relate to one another, but are, in fact, quite different. The Plot is something that demonstrates the pattern of events that unfold to a reader, an overview of sorts. Plot is also commonly linked with summaries, but are exclusively used to recap the key points of a literary work. 

Story is the intricate detail to convey an actual piece of written work, from beginning to end. It's purpose is to thoroughly tell a narrative. A Story leaves nothing out, including even the most minuscule of details. 

Martian Scorsese has a very cinematic definition of story and plot, emphatically drawing attention to the purpose of both. Story is nothing without the correct person to tell it, plot is nothing without the right artist to portray it. They are both used to share a message to an audience. Written work in itself is nothing without plot and story. I agree with Martian Scorsese in his definitions because they require a good team to use them properly.
