Key Elements of a Story 

A strong central character - Eye witnesses or personal testimony. Whose story is it? Who is the character or characters, that will lead and guide your story? What's driving them emotionally?

Universal themes/ relatable - every great story has to either your mind, heart or wallet. Does your story make the audience happy or angry or play on our fears.

A strong narrative and structure - a beginning middle and end and sustain the duration - normally you need some conflict, a decision to be made, a turning point.

Finally the best stories are simply told with a great characters, human emotion and beautiful pictures.
