Story Editing Exercise

Today we worked on an exercise in which we had to construct a group of events that could be arranged in any order to create some form of narrative. The group I was in was weighed down by the desire to create an interesting written story. We clouded short points with excess detail and as a result found it difficult to interchange and rearrange the elements of our story. In order to conduct this exercise effectively more concise events were needed, and what would’ve been lacking in the description we gave could’ve developed in the minds of the audience in the space between the events. While you could say that the group missed the mark a bit, it was effective in teaching me the power of the space outside what the creator scribes, whether written, drawn, animated or filmed.
