Learn About
Unreliable Narrators and Nonlinear Structures
|
|
|
|
Readers trash scripts with stale characters
and predictable plotting. Neophyte writers are admonished to renounce
voice-over narration (because it’s usually so ineptly executed) - yet it
attracts gold at the Oscars and Emmys, dollars at the box office, binge
viewing and social media heat.
Some of the most iconic plot twists and legendary surprise endings in cinema,
television and literature were revealed by unreliable narrators or unfurled
through nonlinear storytelling. Heather absolutely adores these two advanced
storytelling elements. Her story-driven career, degree in Creative Writing,
and lifetime of voracious reading, film and television viewing, have honed
her appreciation.
Join Heather for a virtual guided tour of indie darling benchmarks to genre-defining
milestones to recent blockbusters to the renaissance on TV today. Some of the
most trendsetting filmmakers and content creators of all time - and masters
of these techniques. Catch her contagious passion through crystal clear
explanations that will empower and inspire you to immediately implement new
creative techniques to ratchet up your own writing.
