[00:05.840] | Picture a scene in your mind |
[00:08.839] | Looks at all the people and take note of the setting behind |
[00:12.459] | Listen, watch, and wait |
[00:16.510] | A plot begins to take shape |
[00:19.449] | There's a story |
[00:21.569] | And then characters will come to you |
[00:23.690] | Relating events as they choose to |
[00:25.499] | But all their words and actions come entirely from you |
[00:34.169] | |
[00:36.719] | If you're a storyteller you might think you're without responsibility |
[00:42.839] | And you can lead your characters anywhere you want |
[00:47.599] | You have immunity |
[00:55.569] | Have you considered the way |
[00:59.990] | People might react to all the things that your characters say? |
[01:02.129] | And are their actions hand in hand with what you wantto portay? |
[01:07.619] | Are you sick? |
[01:09.199] | Are you crippled? Insane? |
[01:09.679] | Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name? |
[01:15.899] | Are you the one to be blamed? |
[01:21.600] | Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsability |
[01:27.880] | But in directions, actions and words |
[01:29.460] | Cause and effect |
[01:31.710] | You need consistency |
[01:34.399] | |
[01:43.240] | How can you finish the tale? |
[01:48.170] | Lives which have played a part |
[01:50.479] | Are summarised from the very start |
[01:53.390] | And episodes left out to make it all go our way |
[01:58.469] | It's a might big world |
[02:01.890] | Some of it I've seen |
[02:03.460] | But mostly I've only heard |
[02:05.710] | And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth" |
[02:13.499] | |
[02:16.130] | You're just a storyteller |
[02:17.689] | You're not trying to escape responsability |
[02:22.179] | If we believe you then you're successful |
[02:24.799] | But you don't make claims of verity |
[02:29.109] | You're just a storyteller |
[02:30.290] | You're not trying to escape responsability |
[02:34.899] | If we believe you then you're successful |
