Good stories are those that inspire us. Yes, master screenwriter Sab John Edathattil said stories should inspire the audience.
“A story is not interesting if it is about the things we want but get easily. It is about the journey of the characters, about their struggles. For example, if the story goes like, “I want to marry a rose, so I married a rose”, is it interesting? Not at all. So, the story must be about the conundrum of life and its various crises,” he shared.
Known for his work in films like ‘Chanakyan’ and ‘Gunaa’, Edathattil, the leading screenplay writer of South India, spoke to the young and aspiring filmmakers and cine lovers at IFFI and shared many tips and ideas on the art of storytelling.
He gave a fine-grained understanding of the process of storytelling and how it can help engage the audience.
“When you are writing characters of a story, relatability and curiosity make the characters interested in and engaging for the audience. The audience are the people who are most benevolent to the writers; at the same time, what you create has to be convincing to them,” he revealed.
