Story Telling

As one who loves to express himself through music, writing, doodles, whatever, I've found the readings good, and opening to some aspects I've not quite opened up to as much before.

The article actually opened my eyes... between a story and a plot. Story's kinda like a plain line, while a plot shows the consequences of the story. I would say that story's should be called plots instead, because that's how most books, movies, arts, show the 'humanity' of something that has an after effect with it. ... Or maybe 'story''s more of a 'substitute word' for 'plot', because it sounds more friendly.

The 'Wizard Of Oz' actually had a good idea of representation that I never noticed before: shape. The forest, the witch, all of those using abnormal, unfriendly shapes, while things like the 'Yellow Brick Road' incorporate those friendly-looking ones.

I've never seen 'Little Miss Sunshine' before (and I may watch it once I'm back from the Chorus Tour), but what seems interesting about this movie, is the freedom of the story line. It has a genre of it's own (when it talked about it isn't a comedy with drama, or vice-versa), and that's cool!! It gives it a realistic feel to the story.

Lastly, all I can say about the Star Wars movies, is... when Lucas came up with Episode Four (which is the first movie of all the Star Wars), did Lucas predict that how Episodes One through Three would come out, would be later on in time that it would be developed, or perhaps he did had some ideas about those movies, but decided postpone it? Or... maybe he wanted to experiment with the story plot?


That's all I can really think about with these, but, as a creativist, I quite loved what these articles brought out : )
