How to write a film story

Every story has its origin, a problem and a solution. Any kind of story revolves around the world? Especially in every story there is a protagonist or a heroine, They should have a strong motive in the story.

Story is always about two things. One is a real story, two is a fictional story. Whatever the type of story is, the screenplay determines the way the story goes. What we need to remember is that we should never write a story assuming a screenplay, it doesn't work all the time.

These non-fictional stories include great people, real-life events and social issues. Many people consider Purana's and epics as a true story. We cannot change history, but we can write fiction about what happened in history and where it cannot be written.

Your creativity is seen only in fiction. There is no limit to fictional stories. Screenplays play an important role in such stories. Mythology, science fiction, psychological thrillers, horror, all of these are part of fiction.

In any story, in any genre, it is good to ensure that the conflict is new in the story. If the conflict in the story is not strong, it will be difficult to get an audience to sit in the theater.

It becomes easier to write a screenplay if we imagine the story as a straight line. The audience will see the story in new perspective by dividing the straight line into parts and changing their positions. Doing this is also a part of screenplay. We have to tell the story in such a way that the audience can understand how many riddles we put in, we have to unravel those riddles wisely at the end of the story. Such puzzles are mostly seen in suspense and thriller genres.

The story should always be written as simple as possible, depending on the screenplay you use for it, your creativity will come out. The screenplay should be made complicated according to the strength of the story, because of the critical screenplay attributed to the simple story line, the success rate of the film is very low.

 For example, if the Titanic story directed by James Cameron was taken with as complicated a screenplay as possible, the same result cannot be expected. A small thief, a rich girl, meets in a ship under unexpected circumstances and falls in love. This is the story of saving and the lover dying. The audience already knows that the Titanic is going to sink, but the director and the writer are special in making the film watch till the end.

  Not only the beginning of the story, but the ending should also be good. The audience should be involved within the first 5 minutes. The original story was kept hidden until the interval and revealed it. The ending depends on the story of you chose.

In the next article, let's talk about screenplays, fictional and non-fictional stories, short stories, what kind of stories to choose and write depending on the time, conditions and market of a story.

The Second part will be coming soon.
