Challenges while writing a story
This phase I think almost everyone one of us has gone
through. Before the production of the film starts obviously we will need a
proper story, and most importantly the proper structure of the story to execute
it. But have you ever thought about the difficulties faced while creating a
story? The first and the trickiest part are the beginning, and the end of the
story. For getting our audience indulged for watching the film, our beginning
of the film should be very interesting, and also give a reason to the audience
to continue watching the film. Whereas the end of the film is also in my point
of view is tough to think about as it will give the film more impact as well,
and also complete the film in an appropriate way. Sometimes some endings leave the audience with
confusion which usually loses the the impact of the film. I am not
talking about cliff hangers, but just a confusion ending. The brain also has to
get pressurized thinking how to continue the story without making the audience
feel bored. Sometimes during the movie before the climax the audience usually
gets either bored or restless, and to avoid that it is not an easy task, as you
have a ‘blind audience’. In my previous post I have spoken about ‘’Who is our
audience?’ And trust me without knowing it becomes even more a challenging part,
as you cannot generalize.people as well. While writing a story there also
challenges like our own self-consciousness. Sometimes while creating a story in
between we are not very confident about it thinking about the reaction of the
viewers which somewhere also is a red light to the creative part as well. Another task can also be the ‘structuring
part of the story’. While forming a story we always will have the visualization
into our heads. But the challenge which will be born during creating the story
comes when we have to structure it. In some films the story will be very
unique, and also nicely written but the structure fails, and sometimes also
pulls down the concept of the film. So it’s very vital for looking upon that as
well. Making the protagonist is also a very challenging part as well. Mostly
the main motive of the story is to make the audience attached with the
hero/heroine of the film, and the rival being hated as well. Before creating a
story which is in our mind, it will be fixed that how you want to make your
audience leave the hall, for example while crying after being emotional. So
creating those emotions also is not a very easy task, as we have to make the
story very strong enough to reach the audience.
These challenges are not impossible to overcome, and every
film cannot be a success right? So experience and knowledge is the cure to
this, and also your creativity cannot be stolen by anyone as well. At the end
of the day, it’s your own world created, and portrayed.
