3 Alasan kenapa opening image penting buat sebuah cerita/novel



 Nah kalau di artikel sebelumnya udah bahas tentang pengenalan beat sheet sekarang kita bakal bahas satu-satu beat sheetnya mulai dari Opening image.

Opening image itu beat pertama dari limabelas beat Save the cat Writes a novel biasanya diletakkan di awal novel.

Perbedaan opening image dan blurb

Jujur banyak orang yang memandang kalau mereka mirip tapi tentu saja ini bukanlah hal yang sama.

Kalau Opening image itu pembuka dari sebuah cerita yang mendeskripsikan suasana, dunia dan keadaan awal protagonis. Fungsi utamanya buat kasih gambaran awal dari cerita.

Sementara kalo blurb itu ringkasan cerita yang bertujuan untuk menarik pembaca membaca atau membeli novel yang kamu tulis.

 3 Alasan kenapa opening image penting buat sebuah cerita/novel

# 1 Opening image kasih pembaca pandangan pertama.

Dengan opening image kamu bisa kasih tau gimana keadaan awal tokoh utama kamu juga atur narasi. Ini juga penting buat kamu sebagai penulis karena opening image ini bakal jadi penentu juga apakah pembaca bakal terus baca cerita kamu atau malah berhenti di opening image.

# 2 Opening image menrangkum dunia tokoh utama ‘sebelum’ mengalami transformasi dalam novel.

Misalnya aja nih dalam novel Spring In London-nya Ilana Tan opening image tokoh utama pria sebelum berada di London. Atau kalau dalam novel Harry Potter kamu bisa tau kehidupan Harry beserta paman, bibi dan sepupunya.

# 3 Dengan menyusun opening image yang efektif, kamu bisa menarik perhatian

Tau kan opening image buat menarik perhatian tapi selain itu kamu juga bisa kasih tau cerita sentral novel kamu ada di mana. Contohnya kayak di film the Matrix yang dibuka dengan adegan krusor baris perintah yang berkedip kedip. Ini langsung bikin penonton tau mereka akan masuk ke dunia teknologi.

Kesimpulan

Opening image adalah beat fondasi yang menetapkan nada cerita, memperkenalkan sosok awal karakter protagonis dan mengatur perjalanan transformasi si karakter selama novel.

 As many of you may already know from reading my novel Double Minority Hanna , I previously shared the inspiration behind the story, which comes from personal experiences and my community. In this article, I want to delve into why I chose Amsterdam as the setting for Double Minority Hanna and how it plays a vital role in Hanna’s journey. 1. Mental Health Support and Recovery Environment in Amsterdam One of the key reasons I chose Amsterdam is its robust mental health support system and recovery-friendly environment.

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
