11 Laws of Great Storytelling

One thing that I found interesting about this article is the very first law that it lists, "Assume Everyone Has ADD." Even though I knew that people working on a movie and people watching the movie have short attention spans, I still find it interesting that everyone seems to have a short attention span. This can help when creating a story by not having very long dialog scenes, making exposition even harder to pay attention to. Another thing I found interesting about the article is to constantly think about the stakes of the film. By keeping this in mind, your story will hopefully never have a point where the characters feel like they have nothing to do.
