Wrong Narrative Style &#8211; Not all narrative style fits a story. The writer needs to understand the theme of the story and the point of view of the character before fixing the narrative style.<\/p>\n<p>3. Unbelievable Character Behaviour &#8211; Rather than being organic, characters behave based on the whims and fancies of the writer.<\/p>\n<p>4. Artificial Events &#8211; Setting, Story World, etc can spoil the story flow. The audience soon gets disconnected from the story and feels bored.<\/p>\n<p>5. Multiple Morals &#8211; The story has multiple layers and lessons in each sequence. It leads to a dilemma for the audience as to which one to follow.<\/p>\n<p>6. Lack of Sub Plots &#8211; Sub Plots and Sub Characters are the foundations of the main plot. It adds value to the primary characters and helps them to achieve their goal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8491\" src=\"http:\/\/thesica.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-placeholder-title-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesica.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-placeholder-title-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/thesica.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-placeholder-title-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/thesica.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-placeholder-title-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/thesica.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-placeholder-title.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>7. Wrong placement of hook, conflict, twists, etc &#8211; The audience gets into a catch-22 situation. They are ready for a story twist but the writer fails to entertain and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>8. Misguiding Films and Interviews &#8211; Script Writers are often taken away by the effect of World Films, the Success Stories of the Filmmakers, and their Interviews, etc.<\/p>\n<p>9. Failure to do External Script Auditing &#8211; Our scripts are always best for us until someone reviews them from the third-person point of view.<\/p>\n<p>10.
