Approaches of Story Telling

Approaches of storytelling:

Three Act Structure:

The three-act structure is a model used in writing and in evaluating modern storytelling that divides a fictional narrative into three parts, often called the Setup, the Confrontation and the Resolution.

Hero’s Journey:

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.^[

Episodic:

A story arc is an extended or continuing storyline in episodic storytelling media such as television, comic books, comic strips, board games, video games, and in some cases, films. On a television program, for example, the story would unfold over many episodes. In television, the use of the story arc is much more common in dramas than in comedies, especially in soap operas. Web comics are more likely to use story arcs than newspaper comics, as most web comics have readable archives online that a newcomer to the strip can read in order to understand what is going on. Although story arcs have existed for decades, the term "story arc" was coined in 1988 in relation to the television series Wise guy, and was quickly adapted for other uses.

Setting:

In works of narrative (especially fictional), the literary element setting includes the historical moment in time and geographic location in which a story takes place, and helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story

Conditions:

These are the rules that you must abide by in the game whilst it is telling the story. These rules or conditions may or may not be able to be changed during game play or in certain cases of storytelling.
