Much of the idea of a traditional plot centers around the
way a plot is developed around a given story. A traditional plot has an exposition, a
rising action, a climax, and a denouement and in that order. It appears to be somewhat
predictable but it has served effectively in so many stories and movies and just about
any other form of narrative art that I can think of.
So an
unconventional plot may change any one of these elements, leave one out, or switch their
order around. For example, instead of leaving the climax until the middle or towards
the end, a story may bring it out right at the beginning and then use flashbacks or
other techniques to handle the exposition throughout the story.
