MAKING STORIES WITH MAXIMUM EMOTIONAL IMPACT
WHAT IS DEEP NARRATIVE DESIGN?
Sometimes a story really moves us - but we can't see how.

Its active ingredients may be hidden at unconscious levels, poised to take effect later, contributing to an ending with maximum emotional impact.

The hardest part of writing isn't having a good idea. It's knowing how to tell it in the most compelling way.

You may know what you want your audience to feel. ​But...

What narrative shape best communicates the ideas and emotions you intend?

How do different story designs change a narrative's emotional impact?

And how can you be sure you're creating an emotional journey which becomes richer as the story develops, paying off in a truly satisfying way?
WHAT THE WORKSHOP WILL DO
Drawing on cutting-edge techniques from recent TV series as well as forgotten methods from classic films and prose fiction, it will:

  • Show how narratives can be designed to evoke suspense, identification, anticipation, surprise, shock, and powerful reversals of expectation.
  • Give you the tools to ensure that your story is designed to maximise its emotional impact and deliver a satisfying experience for your audience.
  • ​​Suggest how narrative design can help to define characterisation and visual and sound approaches, ensuring that they work together to support a story.

The workshop will stimulate your writing by giving you a range of new tools, strategies and approaches. 

Fully illustrated with entertaining clips, and including exercises and reading material, the workshop will help you to better understand:
​
  • The narrative shape which will communicate the ideas and emotions you intend 
  • How different story shapes and ways of using information change a narrative's emotional impact
  • How to create an emotional journey which becomes richer as the story develops - and pays off in a truly satisfying way

​The workshop includes a short story to be read before the day, and much supporting material to refer to afterwards.
