0:00 - Intro
1:46 - 01 - Constantly stimulate your mind to bring out the ideas that are already in your brain. When you find that strong basic idea then your whole story can grow from that.
3:26 - 02 - You don’t need to write extensive backstories for the characters. Rather jump quickly into situations and then from those situations discover who are these people.
4:40 - 03 - Make the themes of your screenplay universal and relatable all over the world, but underneath make it more complex and surprise the audience.
6:17 - 04 - Try and go write in coffee shops. Change of place might motivate you and stimulate some new ideas, plus you can always eavesdrop on people’s conversations.
6:58 - 05 - Don’t write your characters black and white. No one is a complete villain and no one is a perfect hero. Observe people around you and explore their good and dark sides.
8:00 - 06 - Subvert the audience’s genre expectations and you will keep them captivated for the entire length of the screenplay.
9:25 - 07 - Look closely at the relationship dynamics in your own life and draw inspiration from them to make your scenes more realistic.
11:25 - 08 - Use peripheral characters to develop the main characters. If 4 main characters react differently to one action of the peripheral character it will reveal their personalities.
12:22 - 09 - On the surface make your story structure very simple, but then include deeper layers. Also, try to include visual references that match your narrative structure.
13:14 - 10 - Break certain rules and write your screenplays in such a unique way, that you will become a genre in and of yourself.
