I found this task very useful for giving me an idea of what makes a story an adventure story.
What I found most useful was the:
- Tropes slide, as this highlighted storytelling devices that are overused and showed me what to avoid in my own story to prevent it from becoming stale/cliche
- Narrartive structure research, as I found most of the information from articles on how to write a good adventure story, and thus it educated me on how to structure my own short even though as it's a short film, it won't be able to flesh out the arcs properly
- Character types, as this showed me what the purpose of characters are, why you need certain characters in a story and how to write strong characters rather than cliched ones (basically you have to mix different types to make them unique)
