The universal laws to tell a story.

The Spannungsbogen
Every story needs a hero.
And every hero needs his task.
• WHO is the main character? Focus on him.
• WHAT is his mission? Who is his opponent (human or nature/situation).
And what is the conflict he has to overcome?
Let the hero speak for himself!
Quote the hero! Let him tell …
• … his story [->blog]
• … what he has done.
• and WHY.
Create a drama!
• Let their be GOOD and EVIL, DARK and LIGHT.
• Let there be clouds to see the speed of planes.
• Let there be shades to see the flash of lights.
Don’t be boring!
Point precisely out what is special about this story!
• WHAT it is all about
• WHERE* and WHEN it is happening
• WHY is the hero doing this and HOW.
* Link to maps, connected stories, audio or videofiles.
Link!
Offer (or even write) related stories.
• videos
• audio-files
• maps
• related websites (partner websites)
Transport emotion!
Not merely information
• In every story there has to be a BEFORE, a WITHIN, and an AFTER.
• In every success story there has to be the GOAL, the RISK of FAILURE and the the HAPPY ENDING (or the FAILURE).
