I followed the link in my Kindle version of your book and started going through your story analyses: Hero, Beginning, Middle and End. This is fascinating to me and I want to do better with my nature videos.

I like to go to a place, do a shoot, then a short video like a daily journal. This one is an example–but it got 17 loads and only five total plays, which means I need to think better about the Green Pools as my “hero.”

I look forward to your thought!

The video looks beautiful, Sandy. Nice shooting.

But you’re right that as a story, it’s lacking. Story needs 4 elements:

A Hero—who is the story about?

A Beginning—where we are now;

A Middle—some challenge or journey;

And an End—What is the result of the journey?
