Building a Plot and Story


a. What makes a story interesting
A story becomes interesting when there is a core characters (the President) was involved in an exciting event. A story should have the beginning, middle and end, though not necessarily in that order.

When I write or make a story, I took a step like Joe Edkin (Quicksilver comic writer) is to give to my own impression that the story that I make is a big picture which is divided from the smaller parts. So when building a story I consider it like completing a puzzle game.

So when a story or a movie becomes unattractive, usually caused by fragments of the lost.

b. Mantelpiece Rule
A writer from Russia named Anton Chekov saying "If you put a gun on the mantelpiece, would eventually be fired." Does it mean when you say at the beginning of the story featured a character who can fly it at the end of the story you have to show these figures to fly again in late stories. Or do not show something confusing if in the end the audience will not see it anymore.

So if you want to show that the character can fly at the beginning of the story, then you need to build a story that explains that these leaders must be able to fly or not fly. This is a matter of playing fair with the audience. This means that all the viewers need to understand each story or episode must have a squint at the episode or story.

Viewers will mystery but love is not like it when they were confused. Mysteries are a series of puzzles that have the answers, if we do not provide all the pieces of the puzzle to the audience, then they will feel confused, then angry and finally indifferent to our story.

Camera Terms


There are some terms commonly used in cameras and standards used in writing the scenario.

Fade IN.
First scene will start.

Fade Out.
A round ends or be interrupted by advertising or an episode ends.

Establishing shot.
A Shot Long Shot mostly in the beginning of a scene / scenes showing all locations.

Cut to.
To move from one scene / scene to scene / scene to the next continuously.

Dissolve to
Guns much different from the Cut to. But used for Flashback scenes (the past) that have a sufficiently long time span.

V.O (Voice Over).
The voice sounded, but no person. Usually used for narration.

O.S (Off Scene).
The voice sounded a new character first appeared lately.

Flashback.
Scenes from the People of the Past.

Push In (Zoom In).
The camera moves in towards an object.

Push Out.
Push the opposite of IN.

MAKING OF SCRIPT STEPS (SCRIPT)


a. Plan
When creating a story we have a lot to look for references that match the theme and story that we want to make, can be from books, movies, magazines, newspapers, internet etc..

But when we want to create a script that would be making an animated guide, our writers have to train the Visual Thinking as described at the first meeting.

We must also take stock of conflict, meant to maintain momentum, how to read the synopsis until memorized, and we feel there is conflict, friendship, romance, adventure, etc. then we are making plans and prioritize where the conflicts that we place.

b. Outline
Now, after everything is ready then the next step to create a script is to make the outline.
Outline what creatures tuh?

Outline or Treatment or Breakdown (comics Language) contains a story or plot in every scene of the characters are roughly there is no dialogue, so it could be interpreted synopsis of each scene in every round of the characters.

Example Outline:

Synopsis Pawn # 1

At noon in his office Haryo are facing confusion in his heart when he found that there was something that was hidden by Organization about his past, so he decided to sneak into the main computer room at night Organization.

Outline Pawn # 1

Scene 1
Int. Haryo workspace - noon.

Haryo are doing something on his computer, suddenly in front of a computer screen visible to show that the data sought by Haryo been erased. Haryo stunned and tried it again but in vain, he wondered why the data pertaining to its past has been erased. In the midst of confusion suddenly Haryo expression shows that he's planning something.

c. Script (Scenario finished)
When we write the scenario there is a proverb (I think) that the manuscript must be liquid but also rigid, meaning we do not create complicated script alias must be meticulous but also detailed in explaining every scene in a movie, guns involved meant we also made too detailed in the written language let the camera that determines the director or the storyboard artists because usually they will create their own and will be divided per shot (cut) by those who
