Next up is something special: a 3-part project that tries to answer why stories, at their most fundamental level, are so different from reality. As in; why are stories so purposefully structured whereas our reality is so often messy and chaotic? Why do characters have clear transformative arcs when our identities and personal journeys are so much more complex than that? It's questions like these, and their implications that will be explored in the next few videos.
After a couple of somewhat underperforming film analyses, I wanted to go back to the essentials of storytelling and create videos that are spoiler free and accessible to everyone without having to have seen one specific film (very much like my archetype series). And by allowing myself the space of 3 videos, I will have more room to separate specific discussions, and explore them all with the depth and attention which I think they require. in doing so, I hope to ultimately deliver a series that will provide meaningful insights into both the way we view storytelling, as well as how we view ourselves and our own lives.
Part 1 is planned towards the end of this month, 2 and 3 will be released in May.
