In todays lecture we explored the notion of storytelling and which parts of the story can be altered or changed around versus the parts that are crucial for that point in the story.
We were asked to think of a story and put it onto sticky notes- the story can be as wacky crazy or entertaining as we please but we had to be able to move the cards around so that no matter where they sat the story would still make sense. What we realised is that if the card had a time or setting on it was most likely to going to flexible across the storyline. A story will have a beginning middle end and turning point but the interesting thing was after having changed the cards around we were able to tell a new story with the same storyline.
Typical linear storyline
A→B→C→D
Mixing the cards completely but still having a story that makes sense
B→A→D→C
Keeping the first and last cards the same and changing the middle cards
A→C→B→D
