Hi! This is my first story ever, and I’m super excited about it, but I could use some feedback. Thank you!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Story Name: Two Paths
Author: Passion
Genre: Drama
Summary: When Elena, an aspiring doctor, meets Lucas, a gangster with a rough past, it’s clear they’re opposites. However, they share the same goal that no one can know about… (CC)
Review, Critique, or both: Since this is my first story, I think both.

You are doing a way better job than I did when I was writing my first story. Some minor things you could fix are:

  1. When you choose the option to read about Elena and Lucas’ past you use the same animation quite a bit. (talk_forward or talk_neutral_forward.)
    Repetitive animations tend to get boring.
  2. In the scene where LI and his friend are in EXT. NORTH PHILADELPHIA ALLEYWAY - NIGHT, their feet aren’t touching the ground.
  3. When you zoom in to Elena in the bathroom (INT. BATHROOM - DAY) you can do
    &zoom on XY to % in [time]
    @ELENA starts cry_sniff_loop
    This makes it so that it’s zooming in as she’s crying.

As far as reviewing goes, your story is good, and although there’s room for improvement it’s not necessary that you make those changes.

Yes

First I’d like to say that your story is very creative! The only thing that I would fix:

  1. The speech bubble, some times it get’s cut off.
  2. There was a scene where the MC and her best friend walk out of INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY (i think) get bigger as they exit, which makes me think you used
    @MC exits left or something like that. I think it’d be better if you kept them in their size and moved them off screen, took @MC spot {size} -X Y in 0 then add made it @MC walks to {Size} -X Y in {time}.

Other than that, I think your story is going to be great when it’s out.

When reading the story I noticed you guys used a lot of basic directing, I think using more advance directing would make the story more intriguing. If you aren’t familiar you can go to:

  1. When you go to EXT. CAFE - DAY, Joury pops up out of nowhere. So I’d make sure that you place the characters before transitioning, zooming, etc.
  2. When Sibel sit’s in the plane, INT. AIRPLANE SEATS - DAY the proportions are kind of off. In the scene Sibel is half the size of the chair, I think she could be bigger.
  3. In INT. AIRPORT - DAY When Sibel hugs her dad she’s not facing the right way, so I’d add which way she is supposed to be facing. (When you don’t specify in the preview she might face the right way but when you go on a phone since it’s not specified she’ll face either way.)
  4. After Sibel hugs her dad she doesn’t have to walk all the way back. You could have her stand closer. And after that when they talk you can zoom into each of them as they talk.
  5. When Sibel gets home(INT. SIMPLE LIVING ROOM - DAY), place her into the scene before zooming in on her.
  6. When you have Sergio in EXT. SHANGHAI STREET - DAY with CAR INTERIOR the overlay is slightly shifted.
  7. When Sergio faints and you zoom in on Sibel I think you could do that faster. Also before the episode ends you zoom out, I think it should stay zoomed in.

I hope you find success when this story.

I’m honestly just speechless from reading your story. From the tappable overlays you used to the amazing and advanced directing! I don’t really have anything to say about the story other than:

  1. When you switched from cinematic to spotlight. It didn’t make quite sense to me, but if that was done with acknowledgment, than I can look past it.

Your story is absolutely amazing and I’m astonished it doesn’t have more reads.
