Dramatic Question
• Conflict?• Question?• Desire?• Point of climax• Closure with a twist• How are you going to engage your
audience and keep attention?
Emotional Content
• Tie in emotions/vulnerability/descriptions• Reveal a truth no one else knows• Convey a truth about you no one believes• Engage the audience to make them want
to listen
Power of the Soundtrack
• Music stirs up an emotional response• All music is original• If use copyrighted music 30 seconds or
10% (whichever is first)
Economy
• Sequential composition (visual and auditory)• Succinct and to the point• You want images to display a tone, feeling, and
communicate beyond what you are saying• You only have 1 written page and 3 total
minutes for the movie…what do you want to say and show:– Are you going to bombard with visuals– Are you going to use images to help or convey
meaning you can’t say in words
Pacing
• Rhythm of the story• Punctuation• White space to allow listener to listen or
reflect and internalize
