BLOG QUESTION ADV: LAWS OF GREAT STORYTELLING

Summarize two of the most interesting laws in this article. How do they help create engaging visual stories?

The first most interesting law in this article is #2: Spend most of your time on the first ten pages of your script. The first ten pages must reel in your audience and leave them wanting to know more about your story. It's good to have a captivating introduction to keep them interested, and by doing so, you can also pair it with interesting visuals that complement it. The second most interesting law in this article is write economically. Most people when they begin writing a script, want descriptive screen direction in order to "help" the actors and audience understand the feelings of a character, but it's good to keep it clean and concise. It's important to remember that your script is supposed to entertain the audience as well as inform them on what the character is supposed to act like. You also don't want your dialogue to be "On the Nose" which means you don't want it to explain the story/plot too much, but more so imply information in order to keep your audience involved in the story. These laws help engage the audience as it leaves them seeking more information about your story, and it captivates them.
