Story Telling Basics
  • Central Theme
    • A story may have both a major and minor themes
    • Major is a theme that can be repeated throughout the whole narrative, while minor is not
  • Conflict
    • It drives the story, creates tension and builds suspense, makes the story interesting 
    • Engage with the audience
  • Characters
    • Central characters are vital to the development of the story, the plot revolves around them 
    • Protagonist has a clear goal to accomplish or a conflict to overcome. Doesn’t always have to be admirable, but they must command an emotional involvement
    • Antagonist oppose protagonists, standing between them and the goal. Can be presented in a form of a person, place, thing, or situation
  • 3 Act Structure
    • Setup
      • the world in which the protagonist exists prior to the journey. Usually ends with the conflict being
    • Rising tension
      • Series of obstacles the protagonist must overcome. Each obstacle is usually more difficult and with higher stakes than the previous one
    • Conflict
      • The point of highest tension and the major decisive turning point for the protagonist
    • Resolution – the conflicts conclusion. This is where the protagonist either overcomes the conflict, learns to accept it or defeated by it. This is where it ends.
How to create comic/webtoon
  • Ideas that come from your experiences are usually the best
  • Avoid google and creating ideas from a whim
  • Brainstorm
    • 4W1H
  • Mind Mapping
    • Organize the idea
  • Practice observing as a designer
    • Look at the color, the character design
    • Play new games
    • Read new manga/comics
    • Listen to different genre of music
  • Execute ideas into draft
    • Write small phrases that changes the idea into reality
  • Action to action
    • Much more dynamic and isn’t as rigid as moment to moment by utilizing the panel/gutters
  • Subject to subject
    • It focuses on different subject on every panel
  • Scene to scene
    • events that happen in one location, and continuous period of time
    • A change of location or significant jump in time between panels is considered the end of a scene and the start of a new one 
  • Aspect to Aspect
    • Taking in key details or letting the characters focus wonder. It’s also a good way to introduce their environment to a reader, though the players eyes perhaps or inviting them to wonder away from the players a bit
  • Symbolic
    • Symbolic transitions deal with the unreal, the felt, and the imagined. Moving the readers from an imagined or recalled space to either another, or a real one.
  • Rolling transition
    • Utilizes transition of subject to subject/aspect to aspect instead of panels.
  • Non-sequitr
    • It doesn’t make sense. or does it?
    • The most enlightening thing to learn about them, is how resilient the desire in readers is to perceive a narrative between juxtaposed moments or things.
