How to use "Telling" in context?
What makes a good story? It can be anything from a true life event to a children's movie. Effective storytelling takes into consideration the Bridging the Gap Effect. This is the process of getting the audience to feel a connection to the protagonist, which lets them invest themselves in the story.
One of the most important aspects of storytelling is getting the right cast of characters. These characters need to be likable, relatable, and possess enough depth to occupy the attention of the audience. The end goal is to get the audience to care about what happens to them and to the protagonist.
