Materi: Menggali Konflik dalam Cerita

Notulen: Anaya
Pernah gak sih kalian merasa jalan cerita kalian terkesan monoton? Atau udah buat cerita tapi melenceng dari bayangan?
Atau bahkan lebih parah melenceng sekali dari outline yang udah dibuat?
Kalian pasti pernah juga habis baca atau nonton cerita yang keren banget terus kalian terinspirasi dari cerita itu
Duh rasanya pengen banget gitu ya bisa bikin cerita keren kayak gitu
Jadi ujung-ujungya dari cerita yang udah dibuat bukannya sesuai outline malah pas dibaca ulang terkesan jadi agak mirip dengan cerita yang kalian sukai itu.
Tapi setelah berulang kali, mulai muncul suara-suara negatif dalam diri kalian, "Rasanya susah deh bikin cerita sehebat itu."
Sampe mungkin beberapa dari kalian mikir
Alur cerita berantakan, terlalu mainstream, atau bahkan terlalu banyak ide baru yang muncul sampe bingung sendiri mau nyelesain yang mana dulu.
Tapi pernah gak sih terlintas dalam pikiran kalian kalau semua hal negatif yang muncul di pikiran kalian sumber masalahnya hanya satu.
Konflik tidak digali dengan baik
Mau dikasih tau triknya gak?
1. biarkan tokohmu jadi manja
Nah maksudnya apa? Manja apaan? Ga jelas banget! Maksudnya gini.
biarkan tokohmu dengan mudah nyelesain konfliknya sendiri. Buat konflik itu semakin memuncak. Ada juga trik jitu biar cerita gak ngebosenin
Konflik-tenang-konflik 2-tenang-konflik 3-tenang, dst.
Makin mendekati akhir makin persulit tokohnya
Sadar ga sih? Semakin kalian buat tokoh kalian menderita semakin tinggi rasa simpati pembaca terhadap tokoh kalian
Memang mungkin pembaca bakal kesel sama kalian
Tapi secara ga sadar bikin pembaca tambah gregetan sendiri
Ngerasain ga?
Apa cuma aku aja?
2. plot twist
Pasti udah tau sendiri kan buat apa? Biar cerita kalian jadi tidak mudah ketebak. Ngeselin tuh kan. Ngarep endingnya tokoh utama bersatu eh taunya ada yang misahin. Padahal udah cinta banget sama tokohnya.
Aku kasih contoh aja ya
Kali ini pake cerita punyaku, genrenya fantasy, drama, action

(1) Taehyung di sini diceritain punya dua sisi kepribadian. Sejak dia umur lima tahun, dia sudah diganggu oleh wujud iblis. Karena itulah dia jadi dijauhi oleh sahabatnya termasuk keluarganya.
(2) Mingyu yang awalnya sebenarnya sahabat Taehyung ternyata berkhianat dengan membocorkan kepada semua orang kalau Taehyung itu sebenarnya bukan manusia normal.
(3) Karena itu, sifat Taehyung yang awalnya penyabar dan ramah berubah jadi pendiam dan mudah marah terhadap masalah sekecil apa pun.
(4) Taehyung bertemu dengan seseorang yang ternyata bisa mengendalikan wujud iblis yang selalu mengganggu kehidupannya. Orang itu ternyata sahabat dari orang yang telah mengkhianatinya, Mingyu.
(5) Namun ternyata orang itu juga yang menjadi penyebab mimpi buruk Taehyung selama ini.
Dari poin 1 - 5 sudah kelihatan kalau dari awal cerita konflik sudah terbentuk.
Tujuan utama Taehyung dalam hidup hanya satu.
Hidup selayaknya manusia normal. Hanya itu.
Tapi banyak halangan dari pihak luar yang malah terjadi. Kayak kasus Mingyu. Sahabat yang awalnya Taehyung percayai ternyata berkhianat. Anggapan Taehyung salah besar terhadapnya.
Orang yang paling dia percayailah yang justru paling membuatnya kecewa
Coba dari setiap konflik yang terjadi pertanyakan lagi pada tokohmu
Misalkan begini:
Q : Kenapa sifat Taehyung jadi berubah?
A : Karena setiap orang yang Taehyung percayai, termasuk Mingyu adalah orang yang bermuka dua
Nyesek kan?
Q : Kenapa Mingyu berkhianat dan kenapa setiap orang justru jadi munafik terhadapnya?
A : Karena mereka hanya ingin memanfaatkan Taehyung yang latar belakangnya dari keluarga kaya raya. Mingyu iri kepada Taehyung karena bisa mendapatkan semua yang dia inginkan tapi sulit untuk dia dapatkan.
Dengan membuat serentet pertanyaan kayak tadi, kamu pasti akan semakin mengenal tokoh dan ceritamu. Setiap konflik atau peristiwa yang terjadi diusahakan ada alasan kenapa itu bisa terjadi. Kenal atuh harusnya. Makin kenal pasti makin sayang . Makin tipis kemungkinan gak ngelanjutin cerita.
Karena kamunya sendiri ngerasa ga tega. Karena uda kelanjur nyaman. Melakukan plot twist juga tapi jangan keseringan. Lakukan dengan porsi yang pas. Layaknya meracik masakan, terlalu banyak garam justru membuat makanan terasa aneh atau terlalu asin.
Terlalu sedikit juga tidak bagus karena rasanya akan hambar, tidak ada 'sesuatu' yang membuatnya terasa istimewa.
Semoga materi yang dishare bermanfaat untuk para Fams yang membacanya.
Kami menerina saran dan kritik. Terima kasih 🙏

Mistakes Lead To Success
Mistakes were made and it led to the death of Natalie Freemen. Her soul was captured and cared for by an young god but such protection come with a cost. Instead of taking the original offer she decided to make a deal. She would rome the multiverse and steal the essence that thrives them. In return she could become a demigod. Updates at random Romance is not the focus but a major plot point. I will take suggestions and corrective criticism. *Important Note* This makes for sense as you read along. This story is created by the viewer but there is a twist. Some chapters are static, meaning that it is to propel the plot. Others have polls that will affect other chapters but without a question. This means you don't know what it effects or in which chapter. I wanted to added this effect to create a suspense, something I didn't feel as much in other reader interactive stories. Your vote could create fortune or misfortune for the main character. I know what it will effect because have a chart that tells me the possible routes. You just have to wait and see what your choice have done. I'll even write which poll effects the chapter in the authors note. Characters could die in the story and they won't be leads anymore. In comments you can ask for a detail chart for each poll but it will only be for one answer per poll. I will chose the most requested answer. I do not own the photo.
