Friday class- Jan 27th


For class Friday we went over how to find original characters. Being original is important when writing a story, because the more original you are the more captivated your reader will be.
            The recipe for a perfect story is two characters, one conflict, and one resolution. The point of view of the story comes from the protagonist or the antagonist.
            We try to avoid 1st level creativity and clichés. We don’t want our audiences to tune out and not listen to our message. What drives the story and with the antagonist trying to stop the protagonist is power.
            There are multiple ways to find inspiration for new characters. Professor Jenkins advised using public sources and such, not just your friends and colleges around you because using your friends and colleges as inspiration can lead to clichés, which we are trying to avoid.
