Topics
MrBallen: 我成为网络恐怖故事讲述者是偶然的,源于一次社交媒体实验。我个人喜欢观看和消费奇异、黑暗和神秘的内容。很多人对真实生活中血腥的故事有着病态的痴迷,部分原因在于在受控环境下感受恐惧的快感。我的讲故事风格是通过保留细节,使用视角来营造悬念,最终揭示故事的完整性。讲好故事的关键在于讲述者的表达方式,而不是故事本身。我讲述的故事很多是常见的,但我改变了叙述角度,使之与众不同。我关注的是受害者及其相关人物,而不是凶手或血腥场面。在早期,我主要依靠谷歌搜索故事,现在则更注重寻找那些未经许可讲述的故事,并获得当事人的授权。我讲故事的技巧包括:在开头不透露太多信息,营造悬念;使用细节来增强故事的真实感;巧妙地运用视角来误导听众;在故事结尾设置一个令人意想不到的转折。 Chris Willx: 人们被令人恐惧的事物吸引,因为探索未知的、令人不安的生活片段具有吸引力。人们喜欢真实故事,因为它结合了虚构故事的优点和真实事件的高风险性。女性对真实犯罪类型故事的迷恋可能部分源于一种保护性策略,即学习如何避免危险。我想了解Mr. Ballen讲故事的风格和技巧,以及他如何找到别人没有发现的故事。讲故事时最大的错误是在开头就透露太多信息,破坏了故事的悬念和吸引力。人们对真实犯罪故事的痴迷,部分原因在于它满足了人们对恐惧的享受,以及对安全感的需求。
