Module -Storytelling
Besides changes in the perspective, there are further opportunities regarding the structure of a story to generate interest for the listeners:
- Uncertainty: What happens next; will the character resolve any problems?
- Unexpected events: Sudden threats may appear, or a twist occurs which changes the ‘arc’ of the character’s journey
- Clear goals/aims for the protagonist: The main character clearly follows his mission
- Turning point: Is the goal achievable or unattainable?
- Discontinuity: This can be reached through tangent story arcs
- Creativity: Include surprising elements.
