Yes, I do remember writing an old story called âHidden Secretâ back then, I got too excited and interested and also become really ambitious with the storyline that I focused on the minibits more (short scenarios using the characters), rather than the storyline itself. I didnât prepared for anything, even the storyline so I got uninterested and kind of bored with the whole thing. And decided to ditch the story. Actually losing any sort of interest in your own story is really scary because you created some futures for them then itâll shutter for some reason. So, yeah. Also my levels of directing skills are low back then. But practice makes everything perfect. So Iâm proud at what stage of directing i am I will improve more (that mustâve been why Iâm taking too long to write the actual storyâŠ) 
Glad to hear that! Itâs okay if youâre taking a while to post, quality over quantity as always. 
Depends on the storyâs genre. What is it?
Mystery. The beginning talks about the wealthy upper class and how theyâre perfect⊠Which is then interrupted by the woman who was murdered. I feel I should follow the unspoken rule of âshow, donât tellâ and not be lazy.
Iâm with the whole show, donât tell aspect, really work on the scenesâ directing. But I feel like you should save the directing for the scene of the murdered woman. Before that, which is the scene about the upper class have it be spoken, but with great backgrounds to back it up.
I would suggest starting with a background of a very poor neighborhood, and saying something along the lines of, âSome are destined to live and adjust to a life ruled by poverty and unfairnessâŠâ and continue for a dramatically enhanced scene.
And then cut to scenes of the upper class neighborhood with continuous paning and keep going with, âAnd some are privileged to live and prosper in virtue off of the ones who were banishedâŠâ or some stuff along that.
Great thinking!
I actually wrote:
âThe wealthy upper class.
Theyâre wealthy.
They are successful, easy to talk to, and most of allâŠ
Content.
Their lives are perfect.
But perfectionâŠâ
Then it gets interrupted and Veronica (the murdered woman) says:
âWas my downfall.â
I should change that⊠
Thatâs pretty great too! Do what you think suits the plot more.
@Qamar_J_S
Oh yeah. Since your great with intro, does showing some part of the story in the beginning and then gets sort of interrupted with intros like âthis story contains music⊠Etcâ then proceeding it into the story sounds great or nah?
Awe thanks 
Um sure, but I think itâs best if you put the intros of the music, the heads up, and the warnings before the episode starts without interrupting the storyline. And make them as short as possible. 
Yes! Then the screen goes black and white, and the peaceful piano music gets cut off by a scream, andâŠ
I should add overlays!
Oof⊠Is 15 seconds of overlay animations okay?
Oh my God YES!!!
Could you try to make it 8-10 max?
I see what I can do. Also thanks for answering I might question some more hope you donât mind 
Yay!! Then it launches into the storyâŠ
My pleasure! 
Iâve always question, if the whole storyline is already planned or you make the storyline as you write?
Well, I set an end game for the plot, how I want it to end, and a few events that I wanna incorporate. But everything it between, I create it as I go along. But everyone has a different way, some plan everything from start to finish, some just wing it. Just do what youâre most comfortable with
Is it okay if I ask more questions?
Go for it. Here to help.
