My story will be along the same lines, one person who creates a product. So the frame work of the piece is what intrigues me. I looked around his other videos and found they all follow the same formula, generally.
- A Hook - Something that defines the person or business. This could be a ideal or philosophical statement or something about the location. But if it pertains to the subject matter the transition into the main body of the story will flow better.
- Introduction to the Character - Simply name and profession, how long they've been perfecting their craft.
- How did they start - This can go back to their childhood or the beginnings of their business.
- Progression to present day - How has the business changed throughout the years and so on.
- Present day - What do you do on a daily basis.
- Future - Where do you see your business going in 10, 15 years.
This is not a perfect structure. It changes with everyone he interviewed, but it seems like a good place to start and easy template to follow in post.
Here's a creative non-fiction narrative I worked on in college. Props to Stephanie DeLorenzo for the script
Let me hear your story structure ideas!
