Story+Techniques

Story techniques: (Andrew Peekema)
 * Start the movie with an action/chase scene to draw viewers in.
 * Have a horror movie from the perspective of the victim to bring the action directly to the viewers.
 * To bring in a different perspective, someone can narrate the movie.
 * Give the audience the answer to the movie in the first scene, and then the viewers watch the actor piece together what happened (more for a detective story).

There are many ways to have a successful story. For starters, the story should be creative, preferably original, and it has to make sense. A story line must be plausable, but can contain such effects as foreshadowing and flashbacks to obtain this. A good script is one that contains character development, a good plot, and a conflict and resoution. This usually involves presenting the audience with questions and answering them somewhere in the timeline. A good director will not just tell the story from one person's perspective, instead, he/she will tell parts of the story from other characters' views to create a fuller effect. An effective director will draw in/capture the audience immeadietly and hold their attention to the end but implementing aspects such as suspence, wonder, fear, amazement, and laughter.

Storytelling Techniques (Julie) In order for audiences to want to watch a movie, there must be a plot. A plotless movie is boring and no one will want to watch it. The characters in the story must have some sort of problem or dilemma that needs to be solved. Throughout the movie, the audience may guess what is going to happen next or they firgure it all out in the end. If the guess it though, that may be what the writer intended, let the plot unfold to the audience, like solving a crime!

//**Story telling:**// (Wonyoung) One of the more unsual and very uniqe methods of story telling are ones that follow more then one which in the end connect together to form a complete plot. For example, pulp fiction, smokin aces, and the recently acalimed movie Crash, all follow in short scenes many individuals all with their own disposition, and cercumstances. Given hints and small connections between each charater slowy develop into something very complex but entertaining plot. By bringing many differnt styles and personalities togther to fit into somethig large has always been a good way of story telling.
