Incorporating symbolism

Adding symbolism to your scriptwriting makes the story much more dimensional and full of meaning, hence developing visual storytelling that reaches the audience at many different levels. Symbolism is conceptually a representation of abstract concepts, themes, or emotions through concrete objects, actions, or characters.

Symbols, if applied smartly and woven into the web of a script, may be used to express an idea, foreshadow upcoming events, or underline development in a character. It can be either an overt or subtle visual motif, recurring to set up a theme in the story, or a single, overwhelmingly powerful image etched into memory.

Whether it is the illustration of a recurring motif, the red rose to symbolize Love and Passion, or the selection of chosen color schemes that provide the story with mood and atmosphere, symbolism within a scriptwriting process gives depth and provokes its audiences to engage deeper into what the story might truly mean.
