Post 22

On Monday’s class we went over what we have learned thus far in Writing for the media. We were reminded that a story needs a message to make a change in some way. A story also needs at least 2 characters one protagonist and one antagonist. You need to fact check. There also needs to be a conflict and resolution. We also learned some important points on dialog such as using the right lingo and echo emotion. The dialog needs to serve a purpose. Then try to avoid stereotypes and give complete information and reminded that the audience is lazy and wants power so keep the sentences up to eight words per sentence because the audience wants strong, powerful, active and engaging dialog. That’s what we learned on Monday.
