Organizing a story

Organizing a story

As we all know that it is very essential for a story to be organized in a proper manner so that the audience will understand the film, and the message will be reached as well. But organizing a story is not really as easy as it seems. In most of the films we have seen that the opening scene starts with the present, and then the flashback starts where it takes us to the past. But when to get that particular flashback, and at which moment it will take place is also important to understand. Organizing a story in the proper manner will make the audience comfortable in watching the film. For example if you are trying to create curiosity and confusion in a particular scene then it's essential for it to be organized in a proper manner. For the organizing part to become a success the planning of the sequence should be done very carefully as well. A film is made by the sequencing of the scenes at the end of the day, so if there is any fault in the sequencing part then the film might not work as you have expected it to. Sometimes film makers tries to make the audience curious about what's happening in front of them when it the story is already cleared. So organizing the story will help you create that curiosity. When you write a story it is written in an organized way itself. But how you want to execute it on the big screen by deciding which scene to put where and when in the right way is the backbone of the film to become a success. The 3 act structure also can be played but in a witty way as well. You can put the resolution at start and the conflicts later on, but it should be portrayed and organized in the manner which your audience will understand what is happening in front of them.

Simple stories can be also created in a way to make the audience feel eager to know what will happen next, because of organizing the story in such a way to look on screen. For the organizing of the story to become a success as a film maker you should understand the major scenes, and then highlight the scenes which you will give the most priority to. This will also help in the organizing part as well.
In the stages of the pre -production like the screenplay the film will be organized and planned then written down. But as a film maker you should be very smart enough to know how you want the sequencing to take place by not creating a lot of complications in the story, and not making it look very simple as well. Every film has a beginning, middle, and an end right? But it is up to you which part to put where and when for the execution part to become a success.
