Be welcome in our Story&Drama collection which aims at developing your knowledge in storytelling and at providing you with narrative concepts and creative storytelling tools.
Writing a story is not simple, but with a bit of methodology based on the most successful artworks in various artforms, everybody is able to write anything:
Designed and written for experienced creative folks, this course is usable as a guide ressource for your projects in any media, any artform, any size, any style. Scriptwriting, screenwriting, playwriting, songwriting… it’s all the same from a storytelling point of view.
So we wish you good reading and we also wish to hear all the great stories that you will tell the world!
In Storytelling 1 – Beginner, we showed how to write simple plots, how to assign charactersets to them, how to organize them together to get simple setups, and finally how to add effects to enhance their enjoyment. We learned how to construct and tell relatively simple stories.
In Narrative Art 2, right here, we take the same concepts, the same basic creative problems, but with a higher level of precision and ambition.
We’ll learn how to build richer plots, more complex characters, more sophisticated plot structures and setups, and finally how to make dramatic effects and manage more complicated and subtle, but also stronger and more effective narrative settings. We will then know not only how to write stories, but also how to build narrative worlds, refined, rich, yet coherent.
Storytelling 1 could be used for amateur storytelling. Storytelling 2 can be used for semi-professional or professional storytelling.
Are you ready? Passionate, eager to learn, dying to have already fully assimilated the lessons of this tutorial to come back enthusiastic and inspired to create your works? Alright, let’s not waste any time, let’s go!
Plots, characters, story structures, dramatic effects, narrative settings
This course explains and illustrates for you the concepts of story, plot, plot structure, character and character play, and details important dramatic parameters such as story stylistics, chronology, or communication structure.
Designed for writers who already have a grounding or practice in storytelling, this course clearly and precisely presents the tools needed to analyze or write complex stories:
build effective stories with well-crafted plots,
animate inspiring characters with varied actantial roles and thematic properties,
generate strong, contrasting dramatic tension,
create information distribution effects,
sculpt the space-time of your narrative world,
control the settings of the narrative.
Examples show the concepts studied in situation, such as the plot structure of Pulp Fiction or the themes that characterize the characters of Nip/Tuck.
