ARTISTIC LICENSE
Artistic license refers to deviation from fact or form for artistic
purposes. It can include the alteration of grammar or language, or
the rewording of pre-existing text.
For example, a filmmaker might use artistic license to change the
ending of a true story in order to make it more dramatic or
emotionally satisfying. A painter might use artistic license to
exaggerate the colors or shapes in a landscape in order to create a
more striking image.
DRAMATIC LICENSE
Dramatic license refers to the freedom creators, such as writers,
filmmakers, or dramatists, take to alter facts, events, or established
truths to enhance the narrative or dramatic effect of their work.
This can involve changing timelines, exaggerating characters,
adding fictional elements to real events, or modifying historical
accuracy to fit the story's theme, mood, or emotional impact.
LITERARY LICENSE
Literary license refers to the freedom that authors take to deviate
from standard rules, conventions, or facts in their writing to
enhance creativity, expression, or impact. Writers may alter
grammar, narrative structure purpose, style, or theme.
NARRATIVE LICENSE
A narrative license refers to the freedom a writer or storyteller takes to alter or embellish
facts, events, or details within a story to enhance its dramatic, emotional, or thematic
impact. This concept is closely related to artistic license or creative license, where the
creator of a work makes deliberate changes for the sake of the narrative, even if those
changes diverge from reality, historical accuracy, or strict truth. This can happen in various
forms of storytelling, such as:
Historical fiction: where real-life events or figures are used but certain elements are
changed for plot or character development.
Films and TV shows: based on true stories but enhanced or restructured for pacing or
dramatic tension.
Biographies or memoirs: where authors might condense timelines or dramatize events to
make the story more compelling.
Narrative license allows for creativity but often comes with the caveat that audiences should
be aware they are not getting a strictly factual or accurate account. The balance between
truth and fiction is determined by the creator's goals, whether it's to entertain, inform, or
provoke thought.
HISTORICAL LICENSE
**Historical license** refers to the freedom or creative liberty taken by writers, filmmakers,
and other creators when depicting historical events, figures, or periods. Like narrative or
artistic license, historical license allows creators to alter, omit, or embellish aspects of
history to fit the needs of their story. This is often done to enhance the drama, improve
pacing, simplify complex historical details, or make a point more accessible to the
audience.
Key elements where historical license is commonly used include:
1. **Condensed Timelines**: Real historical events often happen over long periods of time,
so creators may shorten timelines to fit the constraints of a film, novel, or play.
2. **Fictionalized Characters**: Sometimes, fictional characters are added or used as
composites of real individuals to streamline the story or represent a broader group or idea.
3. **Altered Events**: Historical events may be re-imagined or exaggerated for dramatic
effect, often changing the outcomes or the details to serve the story's themes or emotional
core.
4. **Simplification of Complex Issues**: Historical realities are often complicated, with
many factors influencing outcomes. To make the narrative more understandable, creators
might simplify motives, conflicts, or alliances.
5. **Dialogue**: Since we rarely know exactly what historical figures said, their words are
