Story writing


Embed facts and realities with an excellent film script (I mean mostly English films) story (I say story* for a reason or perhaps many reasons i.e. someone in his elements using the optimum utilization of the 'elements') because the narrative has to be seamlessly connected to knowledge, experience, intelligence, exaggerations, imaginations, emotions and most importantly all of these to be executed with passion. The ultimate purpose is to create a lasting impact.

New and nascent ventures are very jealous mistresses and demand unstinted attention and time in the early stages. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Hence, 24 X 7 attention is necessary.

 

Story writing has these hidden elements

One can weave or build short or long stories on any subject or topic. 

Just follow five elements principle

Grasp just some part of the subject solidly like - EARTH

Let one’s thoughts and expressions to flow like fluid - WATER

When one want one’s version to glow and put down others' versions let that be aggressive and vocal - FIRE

When one want everyone’s curiosity and expectations floating inject gas - AIR

Hook others minds and fill them with interest in what one intend to convey and thus occupy - SPACE

Then one can take their TIME as well by making them read 

Story can be defined narrowly through 10 Ps and they are influenced or impacted by three Ps.

 

 

                   The ten Ps are:-

 

1.    Plot,

 

2.    Personalities [characters],

 

 

3.    Place [ context, situation, settings etc],

 

4.    Philosophy [ the main theme or idea or concept that story tries to relate to /reveal to us] ,

 

 

5.    Phrases [ the words, expressions and language used to communicate these],

 

6.    Pertinent theme/topic [ projection of ideas/thoughts etc through a theme],

 

 

7.    Projection of symbol [symbolically project something to ensure that the very symbol rings a bell in the mind about everything discussed above – for example Krishna on Chariot],

 

 

8.    Predominant genre [classification according to domain of  activity either based on human feelings/emotions or social/environmental/religious/ cultural concerns traditionally sometimes classified as comedy, romance, fiction, science, motivational principle.

 

9. Providing imagination [ blank reality or blunt facts are boring after sometime so spice it up with imagination which manifests either artistically or as master pieces of confirmation bias or tools to perpetuate certain prejudices],

 

10. Positioning of power as perceived [ as victor/winner/achiever etc in terms of personality or victory of a way of life/philosophy/idea etc]

 

 The three Ps that influence or impact or by which everything is  influenced or impacted are:-

 

Perception,

 

Proper evaluation and

 

Projection of  pertinent Data and if necessary we can introduce the fourth P i.e

Pinpointing the target 

 

We shall see how these must preferably operate in any domain more so in analyzing economic growth story.

 

Perception

 

Our perception by itself is feeble because of certain inherent but inevitable aspects of our mental abilities and approaches.
