Why not make a note of what you do and don’t like, what works and doesn’t work in your opinion.
Do you like the story and what changes would you make if any? Good storytelling captures the interest and imagination of the viewer. Universal themes can connect with a wider audience and help to establish a strong connection with the content and the viewer.
In our daily lives we often hear of other peoples’ stories, but what makes a story GOOD. Why do we want to hear some stories again and again? Think about some stories that have left an impression upon you and write them down along with the reason for their significance.
Identify the essence of the story and the voice of the storyteller. Imagine what he/she looks like, hear the sound of his/her voice and feel the warmth of they’re breath. The story is alive and awaits the telling of the tale.
A lot of writers and artists keep a journal of all their ideas. If you don’t keep one now, I suggest you buy a cheap notebook and pen. Carry it with you at all times and record thoughts, drawings, ideas and conversations, etc that hold special meaning to yourself. Use the journal as a resource that you can dip into whenever you need inspiration and ideas.
Enjoy,
Dean
