Point of view | What is the main point of the story and what is the perspective of the author? |
A dramatic question | A key question that keeps the viewer’s attention and will be answered by the end of the story. |
Emotional content | Serious issues that come alive in a personal and powerful way and connects the story to the audience. |
The gift of your voice | A way to personalize the story to help the audience understand the context. |
The power of the soundtrack | Music or other sounds that support and embellish the storyline. |
Economy | Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading the viewer. |
Pacing | The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it progresses. |
