this article is titled, "Script tip: pets in movies- how can a pet improve your characters and plot?" and the title is self explanatory. in this article it explains just how important a lead pet role can ell the movie immensely. this technique can do two key techniques to improve any caricature. it can make a predictable caricature seem new and the pets antics can provide invaluable plot twists in your story.
while reading this article i learned how helpful having a pet in a story can really make it seem. some of my favorite movies have lead pet roles and that may play a part of why i like them so much. i also learned how to write about your own plot with a pet in it at the bottom of the article which i thought could be very useful.
some opinions i have regarding this article is that i thought it was very eel worded and easy to follow. also i liked how they provided more than just one example and proved their point to make it a valid statement.
the only question i have is that i wonder how many people think this is a true technique. do directors think this way too?
