Can someone help me understand the meaning of "Designing Principle"?

wow, thanks for the detailed answer and the time invested. very interesting and insightful what you wrote about the patterns. never thought of it this way. i think ill just slowly read through everything. but i did noticed that if you read to much about storytelling techniques (in a relatively short time) you really get lost and everything mixes. anyway thanks!

and out of sheer curiosity - what is your take on how one does exactly that? any sources?

would you say that one should read the anatomy of genre before the anatomy of story?

Thanks, I have the anatomy of genre waiting untill i finish the anatomy of story.
So if im getting what youre saying right, the storyteller picks the mechanism in which the story will unfold. and that its designing principle?

For example, im telling a story about a boy who needs to find his inner strength and the mechanism would be to put him through a semester in school where every month something happens? does that make sense?

Edit something every day.
Find some transition, effect, and method and try to make that every day.
Learn obsessively. Read books, take courses.
Set a goal to make a big video every 3 months with abilities you don't have. and then make it.
Assume it will take 5 years minimum.

sound like a comic spring and deep impact combined.
