How I Write
Crafting a Compelling Character Arc. Business start. Pixar rules. Tension and Moments
When creating a character arc, it is crucial to have a clear beginning and end, where there is a stark difference in emotions felt by the character. The key is to build tension and moments of change in the narrative that trigger a turnaround in the character's journey. It is essential to show both the intention and the obstacles faced by the character, and highlight the pivotal moments that lead to growth and development. According to Pixar rules for storytelling, it is not necessary for the hero to always win, but the audience loves them for their perseverance and efforts. Therefore, it is important to showcase the character's struggles, the actions they take to overcome obstacles, and the emotional impact of these experiences on the character. By zooming into specific moments and incorporating relatable visuals or audio cues, the storytelling becomes more engaging and impactful.
