Drama, stories, film are not always real, it’s just that it seemed real to us because we are able to connect to the story due to personal experience etc.
When creating stories, we must have some logical flow to it. We cant create a story without a logical point.
Stories like fantasy may work and not work. Law of probability.
Cause and effect only reveals or suggests what events are to come. It may or may not happen.
Unity of action. When arrange events, must be be in sequence.
Not to confuse audiences.
Example:
Linear storytelling- ABCDEF
Non-Linear/ Non Sequential- BADECF
Story must be long enough to hold interest, but not too long.
Episodic. Character is important. If we don’t like the character, we will continue to watch the movie.
