The basic elements of a well-structured story are something everyone knows by now – a journey that leaves the protagonist or the main character changed at the end.The real trick of creating a standout film isn’t necessarily a complex plot. On the contrary – simple is better. You don’t have to write an entire universe to create a memorable story. It’s less in the complexity and more in the way you tell it. As long as your story moves along and eventually leads to a change or lesson learned, you’ve got the basics of a solid story.
