Why do we talk about story?
We are social animals
Practice interaction, learn codes & customs, how to be human
As children we play at story by instinct
How we extract meaning from experience
We tell stories to ‘continue’ ourselves
It’s what we do already, all the time
![Page 4: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why do we talk about story?
During our lifetimes we spend more time in stories than anywhere else
• 65% of speaking time is on social topics
• 46% of our waking hours spent daydreaming*
• We dream in stories every night
![Page 5: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why do we talk about story?
Story as distillation
Story helps us understand
• Our client
• Our client’s business
• Our client’s problem
• Our client’s clients
• Our project objectives
• Ourselves …

Three parts and the whole
Story =
Audience
Content
Structure

Ernest Hemingway once said his best work was a story he wrote in just six words:

What is ‘story’?
![Page 10: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is ‘story’
More than a list of facts
Causally linked events which unfold over time
Interaction of ‘intentional agents’ with minds and motivations
Engage audience through recognisable emotions & believable interactions
![Page 11: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Elements of story
Character
Objective or desire
Obstacles to achieving it
Action & behaviour
Beginning – middle – end
Who What Where When Why How
End = satisfying resolution to problem

“What happened?”
“What happens next?”

Story = interactive
Relies on audience’s cognitive & emotional responses to make connections
Story makes you part of it as you anticipate actions, feelings, outcome
Every experience of story is unique, relies on the audience’s own prior experience, associations & character
![Page 16: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Gladiator
• The title character just wants to go home.
• What happens to him instead turns into the longest, bloodiest commute imaginable

Ask questions, such as …
who is this man?
what is he doing and why?
what is he thinking, feeling; his hopes, fears, plans?
what’s the context, and the mood of the moment?
what happens next?

A reminder …
Storytelling = audience, content and structure, to produce experience
Audience = who, first principles
Content = what, gives focus
Structure = how, provides framework
Experience = attainment of goals

Finding things out
• Formal interviews, direct questions but also conversation
• Observe using ‘soft eyes’: put assumptions aside
• Framing: not ‘what is it?’ but ‘what do you like most about it, and why?’
![Page 58: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
A conversation with yourself
• Ask: ‘what single detail would make me care more about this situation / person?
• Ask: ‘what single factor would provide a compelling circumstance?’
• Ask: if I were in their shoes, what would I think / feel / want?’
![Page 59: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Making story
Finding Nemo: an inspiration ….
![Page 61: Cap g storysession_theclaschreuders](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7ec0e4a79593b328b4601/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Making story
Making story is messy
Research is crucial
Believability: actual vs. symbolic truth
Big picture AND drama in the detail: about solving problems
Even though you THINK you know where a story is going, you don’t until you’re in it
Stories have an internal logic. Won’t always get it right first time so be open to the process
