Storytelling By The Book.
georg, 18:00h
Okay, it does indeed look like as I have to clean up with some clearly misleading believes from the world of storytelling:
If you read a book about Structure Of Stories or The Way Stories Work or from simliar kind then you are not automatically blessed with good storytelling. There is still a major difference between knowing theoretically how to build a house and actually building the damn fucker.
Knowing about structures of stories is a good thing, it certainly helps a lot. But remember: Other cultures have different views on story structures so there isn't a one-for-all rule.
A very good example about the irony of telling stories and its clichés is the film Adaptation by Charlie Kaufman & Spike Jonze.
The next person trying to scholar me in storytelling by referring to a “How to learn storytelling in so-and-so days” will definitely get his arse kicked.
Thanks for listening.

Nun ja, Du darfst darueber reden weil du das ganze im Gesamten und im Kontext verstehst. Ich kenne allerdings auch Leute die zitieren wild Saetze aus Buechern ohne zu wissen was da eigentlich so gemeint ist.
