What makes a good story?

Characters

Another thing about a good story is making a character relatable, it makes the audience feel empathy for when the character fails. That is a key point in a story, making a character break you get to see what they are made of and how they truly are. If you have ever got into an argument with someone that escalated, you may have noticed how different they acted. This is because some people are only completely true when they let out all that anger and aggressiveness, and it releases the truth inside of a character.

Plot

Many things contribute to the creation of a good story that people understand. The ability to understand the plot line is only given to the audience by the filmmakers. If a story is complex with no plot line, it is not an enjoyable film. The climax is a very important part of the story, it is the point that everyone comes to see it for. The combination of complexity and unique story-telling is a rare thing to find in an undeveloped plot.  

Performance

A good story is not created without acting. While things such as characters written into books may not act, we don't realise that the author acts and plays all of the characters themself. This, however, is different in theatre. Performance is the entire encompassment of theatre, without performance, theatre is quite literally none existent.
