Storytelling and Art

So in order to get a better foot in writing my script i've been doing some research in opinions and such on storytelling/writing and i've found a few interesting things :

“…We as humans try to find the relevance, the connections between.
And so, story telling is what a story teller does. He will take pieces of information and then control the delivery of that. So they withhold some information, reveal some others.” 

“… every writer should define that by themselves. Ofcourse, the audience sometimes defins what a story is. Depending on what medium the story is for, for example, film, is it for children or for adults…” 

“and I think the best storywriters understand what the audience want. Like what pieces they are trying to connect and what work they are doing, so that not everything is laid out. But they leave these strategic gaps so that we are almost forced to dive deeper into the story to find those connections.”

Structure change – Orality to Literacy

17^th/18^th century – 

• more introverted,
• more individualistic

(becomes more interwoven with the person – even the fictional stories)

Writing started out as a ‘group’. Meaning the story was about our history, the country as a whole.
now its becoming more and more about the individual ‘I am a writer and this is my story’.

In the 19^th century it was more about quantity

20^th century it was about destruction of the structure.
With thins like Nouveau Roman (literature) and Nouvelle Vague (film)

And we are only now coming back to more biographical stories

Epic Oral Telling -> Literace/ Writing -> Letterpress / Book Printing -> Film (lumer brothers) -> Tv/Radio -> Digital Data/ Computers -> Youtube.
