In this Short and to the point post. I’ve Condensed all the notes, which I’ve learnt about storytelling by once of the influential storytellers in India, Parithosh Anand.
What is a good story?
A good story is something that makes you feel the presence and absence of elements like an emotion, experience or a person.
A story that paints a picture in your mind.
A Story that can be easily narrated once listened to.
Elements (Elements transform your ordinary story to story that you'll remember.)
Characters -(Characters of your story)
Conflict - (Challenge / revenge a Character faces)
Emotion - (arise of emotions like Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Angriness Etc.)
Resolution - (The resolution resolves the conflict and concludes the story, providing closure.)
Relatability -(people relate to your story)
Attention to details - (supports your picture by adding little things to your story as you paint a picture).
Structure of a story
Hook
Introduction
Body
Call to action
Things to keep in Mind
Body language
Tonality/ voice modulation
Know your audience.
Importance of communication(Important virtue to have)
you can literally conquer everything and anything that comes your way.
If I want to tell everything in one sentence, paint a picture.
