The group walks over the hill and finds a
surprising vision.
What scenario is it? How could it be
surprising? Is it exotic, defiled, unexpected?
Creating expectation is one of the riskiest but
can also be the most rewarding attempts at our disposal. It’s how we deal with
the feelings of the audience, and we use it to our benefit, by lowering their
guard with some Captatio Malevolentiae and surprising them with a twist that
was all planned from beginning. But lately I’ve been seeing a lot of unanswered
expectations.
So let’s set to find an “otherworldly” theme.
Be it a scenario, scene, character, entity. How can the otherworldly
expectation be answered? We need to specifically create something that isn’t
like anything in our world, but the world is all that we are.
There’s a mystery or a deep secret. How can the
character’s secret kept for so long be in pair with the built mystery? How can
it be a secret that can almost be revealed but no one will ever be suspicious
of? (hint: crimson gill-bearing animal)
Or then something transcendental and beyond all
human experimentation. Are we just going to show a glimpse of it, meaning that
is beyond what we can experience is the whole point, or will we dare to be more
audacious?
