Ted Talks: Writing A Story

Ted Talks Notes: Writing A Story 

  • Story is about the audience not the writer
  • Writers have to be unfaithful
  • Why we write
    • Egotism
    • Wanting to change the world
    • Getting vengeance
  • 3 act structure
    • B M E
  • Aristotle
    • Pity (Undeserved Misfortune [Creates Audience Connection]) -> Fear (Worse and worse situation)-> Catharsis (Release of Fear [PEA -> Happiness Drug])
  • Rehearse our fears -> to enable the audience to feel for the story
  • Only we are the story tellers, only we can give you immortality
