Summarize two of the most interesting laws in this article.  How do they help create engaging visual stories?

    Two of the most interesting laws in this article are writing economically and making sure every character has a unique voice. Writing economically means to not overwrite your stage directions and your dialogue. This law helps create engaging stories because you can focus your stage directions on entertaining and not muddle it being verbose, and making audiences work to understand the meaning behind dialogue helps build a better emotional connection. Giving every character a unique voice encompasses many traits and aspects of the character, i.e., making unique characters (avoiding stereotypes and giving them quirks), writing a character that someone would be interested in playing, making them dynamic and changing throughout the story, and making their journey difficult. This helps create an engaging visual story as it makes the character have more depth and the audience can connect to them better. It also makes them more interesting because having unique aspects can cause the character to be more memorable and differentiate from other characters.
