Pixar's 22 rules o' story telling

These are what Emma Coats said to be the general rules that make a good story, and Pixar exploit this. Here is my analysis of two of her rules.

4 Once upon a time there was _____. Because of that, ______. Because of that, ____. Until finally _____.

The 4th Rule of storytelling is quite clear in presenting its message. Most stories generally follow this rule, for example, the Blues Brothers movie. One upon a time there was an orphanage, which was about to be demolished. Because of that, Jake and Elwood set out to raise funds to save it. Because of that they get their former band back together, until finally they raise the money to save the orphanage. Things happen in between, but that's a basic overview. My story is that there was a girl called Zena, she cheated on her boyfriend, because of that he left her, because of that she was sad, and regret her decision until finally she loses hope.

14 Why must you tell THIS story? What's the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That's the heart of it.

This rule is more of a rhetorical question, but a good one nonetheless. This is a rule followed by the best movies. "Why would somebody want to watch this?". In Brokeback Mountain, it's the tragic story of two homosexuals in america during the 60s, and the only of its kind. My music video will hopefully touch the audience on an emotional level, allowing them to relate to the feeling of sorrow.
