Hello Fellow Pipers!

Let's say, we are making delicious food. 

There are various ways to make food tasty. Special sauces, new cooking methods, and exciting spices, for example. However, without essential ingredients like rice or noodles, or fresh ingredients, the meal wouldn't be so satisfying.

And, what are the key ingredients to make a good story? 

Provocative events like murder and crime? The seriousness of social discourse? Or perhaps characters with an appealing appearance that everyone loves? 

Those are all good methods, but they are not the important ones. The key ingredient that connects everything is the "emotional change." 


In this week's diary, as I mentioned before, I will analyze good short films and discuss the core ingredient I discoveredโ€”emotionsโ€”while talking about the direction of the script.


โœจ Information from short film analysis 

During this week, I looked at about 40 short films, including the ones you guys shared. Finally, I analyzed a total of five short films that have clear structures with a runtime of around 5 to 7 minutes.

I tried to write down scenes and dialogues while pausing the screen and turning them into dialogues. Surprisingly, there was a common aspect that didn't appear when watching the videos. It was the clear "rise and fall" of emotions. 


Stories have a direction and follow the protagonist's emotions. When the protagonist feels happy, we become happy, and when they feel sad, we become sad. The story depicts a rising graph when accumulating happy emotions and a falling graph when accumulating sad emotions. And through the events they face, these emotions keep changing. The reason we feel a story is good after watching it is usually because of the positive or negative emotional change in the protagonist from the beginning to the end. 

This is something we can also learn from good movies. However, when studying short films, I found something that could be learned only thenโ€”how to describe emotional changes in a short period of time.


โœจ How to describe emotional changes in a short period of time 

  • The total length doesn't exceed 6 to 10 pages. 
  • It follows the flow of beginning (character and world introduction) -> middle (problem arises -> conflict) -> end (resolution). 
  • The appeal of characters and the world is clearly presented within the first 1 minute and 30 seconds. 
  • Memorable scenes, musical montages, metaphors, etc., are used to convey information concisely. 
  • It focuses on a single event. It only tells the story of the protagonist.


After the analysis, it became even clearer why writing the script of 'The Pied Piper' has been difficult for me. I have been imagining "people applauding after watching Eugene's successful performance, leaving discrimination behind" as the final scene. But no matter how much I tried to rewrite the musical, I couldn't create a profound impact in the final scene. Of course I couldn't! Because without knowing why this stage is precious to Eugene, without understanding the discrimination she has faced, "The Pied Piper" would simply be another unfamiliar fantasy musical. 

To make this story better, I realized that I need to introduce Eugene's personal story more. Therefore, instead of the previous story focusing on "The Pied Piper rescuing the Ratians and becoming a hero" I will shift the focus to the story of "Eugene becoming a dreamer and achieving his dreams with The Pied Piper."



After reaching this conclusion, as promised, I have written five rough scripts over the past week. The next goal is to compile them into a PDF format and hand them over to the composer by July 16th. There may still be delayed, but I will share the progress as well. 


I will continue to develop the story into something better based on the organized framework. Thank you as always. Have a great day!๐Ÿฅฐโœจ


*While writing this diary, I realized that there is a lot of useful information that I couldn't write down here. What do you want to know more? script analysis methods? Or the story construction of short films? Leave your comment below!
