EX2 – STORY2 (DUE WEEK4)
Choose a location that you know, example from childhood.
Write your story – characters at this place.
Notes: Locations can help evoke and add on to human emotion.
for example, think of a park.
sunny, crowded park with children playing = happy park
birds singing in the park at dawn = soothing, tranquil park
misty, shadowy park at night = scary, dangerous, eerie park
think of a location that has lots of cliches and you won't need to explain or describe the location. if you need to describe a location, THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR LOCATION, IF NEEDED, MUST BE CRUCIAL TO YOUR STORY. eg. blood-splattered leaves at the park. all descriptions must be useful for your story.
Apply 3 ACT STRUCTURE to your story.
- Add hooks & drama. then up the stakes.
- Make sure your key character's motive is clear.
- Create setup, turning points, confrontation & resolution.
What is drama? know how to use drama.
think of a tv drama serial, eg chinese/korean drama.
what makes them so "drama" and why is drama addictive?
