The Periodic Table of Storytelling, Second Edition by DawnPaladin

Watch
/
The Second Edition incorporates all of the learning I received during my three years at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. It has better typography, more story molecules, and updated kilowick counts, but the identifiers are the same so as not to break compatibility with the first edition. And there's now a clickable version here: designthroughstorytelling.net/… No more typing names into the TVTropes search box - just click the trope and you're there!

This is so glorious.  I think I love it... Yeah, I definitely love it.  Unfortunately, now I want to go waste more time I don't have on TV Tropes.

... it's still awesome.

You know you read too much in TVTropes when you can spell "Phlebotinum" without even looking for it in TVTropes.

What really made me laugh is the fact that Bwb (boob) is Fanservice, because it's just too true not to be funny.

 This update is great.  The whole idea is funny and sad at the same time.  Funny that you can break down almost every story in this manner, but also sad that the whole of story telling can be summed up so easily.  Maybe we are just simple creatures after all and only a few types of storytelling attracts readers/ watchers attention.

This is just an abridged collection of some of the more important tropes. TVTropes has thousands more, and new ones are being codified every day. (And TVTropes is not the only or most authoritative source for these patterns.)

Some authors lean more on tropes, others less, although it's impossible to avoid their use entirely. I'm of the opinion that stories are essential to the human mindset, and people like stories that resonate with how their minds work. There are some very experimental writing styles out there, but you have to be a very unusual sort of person to enjoy them. :)

And of course publishers/producers are more interested in things they know will sell, so that probably has more to do with it.

The "simple story molecules" examples made me laugh.  It goes to show that molecules can be as substantive as complex compounds, though.

Actually, IMDb should totally incorporate these formulas, they describe the movies better than simple keywords, though giving away a bit of the whole!

The Best, Absolutely Perfect by Love-and-Blades

Devious Collection by GWD-tT

Aspect Ratio, Composition, Present and FuturePhotography is simply a technology that allows you to record a moment in time, in a box that simply captures a moment of light. Simple and basic as that, no myth there.
But the decision on how to capture that moment and its variables like composition, time and subject matter remain in the hands of photographer.
Let's talk about that box, how it affects composition, and the time we live in. Photographic technology has developed at a rapid pace. From the 19th century's cumbersome daguerreotypes to today's compact digital cameras,  photography has become one of the most accessible art mediums, but more related to motion pictures that we might think, being at the same time influence and influenced by each other.
4:3 (1.33)
The original aspect ratio used by the motion picture was industry was 4:3, or ratio down to 1.33:1, or just 1.33.  Theories why vary from from Euclid's famous Greek "Golden Section", a shape of approximately 1.6, to a shape that simply saved m
Javier Acenillas - Fearless HumanitarianAs you know, I normally don't do (features) Journals.
The exception goes to those photographers that had some historical importance in the photography World, those that influence(d) me, those that I believe can move others like they moved me, humanitarian photographers, and that normally live in the shadows of the same old Features and references.
So, today I bring you Javier Acenillas. He is a Spanish freelance photographer and a psychologist at the Complutense University of Madrid. He describes himself as a humanist, and develops humanitarian essays.
He has won a number of international prizes, including: The Arts Press Award, Kodak Young Photographer, European Social Fund Grant, Euro Press of Fujifilm, INJUVE, Foto Press Third Prize, Luis Valtueña of Médicos del Mundo, Journalism Doñana´s prize, Luis Ksado, Make History, UNICEF, World Photography of the Year, Fotoevidence, Finalist of the Leica Prize 2009 and Antropography 2010.

"The maximum, that is what has always interested me." This is a quote by Josef Koudelka.
He was born in 1938 in Moravia and began photographing with a 6 x 6 Bakelite camera.
He staged his first photographic exhibition in 1961. Changed to a Rolleiflex camera and in 1967 decided to give up his career in engineering for full-time work as a photographer.
Awarded several times, was known for his exceptional photographs, which required an enourmous amount of courage.
Nomad at heart, he wandered around Europe with his camera and little else. In 1987 Koudelka became a French citizen and his work received support and acknowledgment from his friend, "

10 Types Of Street Photographers"Over the last few years, I have met or seen in action quite a few photographers. A lot of great and passionate people covering a wide range of styles, gear and personalities. Here is therefore an attempt to classify them in different types. This is evidently a satire, to be taken with humor, but I am sure you'll find a little bit of yourself in some of these types.
I) The Intellectual : Everything in a shot is about lines, metaphors, psychology, sociology, history … or you name it. No element in his pictures is ever the result of hazard since his swift eyes detected and interpreted every single detail before he triggered. Even the lousiest shot becomes the next Michelangelo after going through his everlasting rhetoric. Yet, most often, he is actually the only one to understand, and like his pictures.
II) The English Patient : Patience is his main virtue. A shot is as good as the time and effort it took to get it. He identifies carefully a setting, studies the light

Sebastiao Salgado, a living legendAs any boy, I grew up absorving the World. And the World mesmerized me everytime my late dad would bring some journals or magazines where Sebastião Salgado's photos were featured.
I can´t hide the admiration I have for this photographer, this man that is still alive and living in Paris, and the way he changed my way of seeing the World, respecting my fellow man, seeing the light where only darkness seems to exist.
Sebastião Salgado was born on February 8th, 1944 in Aimorés, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Began his career as a professional photographer in 1973 in Paris, working with the photo agencies Sygma, Gamma, and Magnum Photos until 1994, when he and Lélia Wanick Salgado formed Amazonas images, an agency created exclusively for his work.
He is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and an honorary member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States.
Uses Leica, most of the time he uses 28mm, 35mm and 60mm lenses (one for each camera body). He use

Eugene Atget - The Urban InnovatorEugène Atget, French photographer, was born in 1857 and is considered  one of the most important and innovators photographers in History.  Spent his life in Paris.
Became a photographer at the age of 40 and was the forerunner of modern photography in Paris, inaugurating the urban photography, photographing the empty streets of Paris and not people. With the exception of prostitutes.
For 25 years led a routine to load around its wooden tripod and a huge and heavy camera consisting of a simple 18 X 24 cm view camera, with almost none of the present-day adjustments. It had a rising front, as may be seen by the photographs, many of whose corners have been cut off because the lens did not give full coverage. He had no wide-angle lens. The focal length of his lens is unknown, but it must have been between eleven and twelve inches. Atget used glass plates, and the total exceeded 15 kg.
In 1926 was visited by Berenice Abbott, from New York, who collected his work - mor
