A look at the attractive factors of a series; Why does the audience wait for “lion’s skin”?

Charso Press: The breathtaking events of the latest episode of “Lion’s Skin” made the name of this series Sarzabanha fall again to the point where it became the first trend of Persian Twitter. In the third part of the final season of the series, the audience faces one of the most challenging parts of the story; But what is especially desired by experts and critics, how does an attractive and lasting series progress?

This point can be followed throughout the story of “Lion Skin” and the creators of this work. A point that can be looked for less often in these days’ TV series and even theaters. A series in which the audience comes to the conclusion that they cannot predict the end of each episode. It is as if the creators of this work are one step ahead of the audience; Unfortunately, we rarely see this space in other series, because the series makers do not pay attention to how to be attractive and how to make it attractive and lasting?

The latest episode of the “Lionskin” series once again evoked the point that the audience is facing an inflammatory drama that follows the rules; But which rules and indicators? The characteristics of a film are divided into several aspects, and any film that can implement these characteristics will have a place among the audience.

Today, respect for the audience is a full-fledged principle for a film or series, and the audience’s time and money should be important for the filmmaker. If a filmmaker is able to follow these principles, his film will surely be well received by the public, and if he fails to follow these basic principles, his film will not find a place among the audience.

The first characteristic of a good movie is to have a strong scenario without satire, which today is popular among cinema and television audiences, or so-called moviegoers. That is, no matter how strong the scenario is and the story has content, the film will be successful, which is clearly seen in Jamshid Mahmoudi’s work. Because if the structure of “Lion’s Skin” was not correct, this series would not be successful today.

The next feature is the creation of a hero in the story. If your story has a hero, that story will have a beginning and an end point; Because basically, the psychology of characterization in a movie can bring the audience with that work, and the audience will imagine themselves as the protagonist at the beginning and end of the movie and can put themselves in the situations where the protagonist exists, which is The subject is also correctly observed in “Lion’s Skin”.

Sometimes you can see the hero of the story “Lion Skin” in the form of Naeem, sometimes Major Mashkat and even other characters in the story, which increases the audience’s identification with the series. But the third characteristic of a good movie is the excitement of the story. No matter how much a movie has excitement and new events every minute, minute by minute, second by second, it can nail the audience in its place without losing a moment of the story.

This characteristic is the most important principle of a balanced and good film; Because the film must have sinusoidal movements and if this issue is not present in the story and scenario of the film, the audience will get tired after a while or will leave the film. This main feature is present in the “Lionskin” series, and it shows itself more as each episode progresses.

In other words, in fact, the story of “Lionskin” has excitement and knots that it creates in the mind of the audience, and it creates the expectation in the audience to wait for the next episode. It is considered filmmaking and the filmmaker should be more aware of this type of narration.

The next feature that a good movie should have and the filmmaker should respect is color and glaze. As much as you can raise the color and glaze of your performance, you can create attractions for your target audience, which is also seen in the lion’s skin. Color and glaze have many aspects, one aspect is the visual attraction, including (the colors used in the image, beautiful and spectacular spaces, etc.) that should be seen in every movie, and the second aspect is the technical and visual attraction. .

That is, no matter how well the director has a good framing, the audience will get a pleasure from the way of visual framing and better presentation of the subject of the story, regardless of the companionship that will have a dramatic effect with the story.

Another feature that should be seen in the story of a movie is the principle of transcendence and the occurrence of issues that are impossible in the real world; Because movies and serials should show the impossible events of real life, and one of the topics that caused the creation of the seventh art was to show the impossible events of the real world. Because the audience has events in their mind or dreams that they cannot realize in the real world, which is also completely possible in the movie or series, and no matter how much the movie or series goes towards the impossible human goals, it can attract the audience towards itself. slow

Unfortunately, until now, these five basic principles of a film or series, which are common in the world, are rarely seen or not seen at all in Iranian cinema or television; It is better for Iranian directors or filmmakers to pay more attention to the principles of a good and balanced film so that both the audience is satisfied and the filmmaker himself enjoys his work. What filmmakers and serial producers need to pay attention to is the audience, and the audience likes to see their dreams and even their real world in movies and serials.
