Shoot--this is about how to create conflict in a story plot. I was here for tips on how to keep things interesting around the apartment.

added to my “KZfaq University” Playlist!

Great video, I remember asking a writer: What is the most important thing in a story? The plot? The characters? He answer, the conflict. Greatings from Bolivia.

I create conflict by telling my girlfriend that dress makes her look fluffy. Works every time.

Summary : Start with characters and their deeply held beliefs. Challenge those deeply held beliefs with other characters who believe differently. Start small and grow larger. Let the conflict rise and force your characters to change. Understand the Purpose of the Scene. Bring the scene to a specific point. How does it drive the story forward? Drive the story forward start with philosophical struggle and characters that is the absolute backbone of your story. Plot concept, fun dialogue and crazy action scenes all come second to those two elements. Don't try to inject a scene with conflict and then place your characters in it. Know who your characters are, know how they will change, know what pressures are on them and know how those pressures will affect them.

I love how you are not rushing through the points you are making. When you describe things they stick with me... other channels are so focused on not "boring the viewer" that they are all about fast pase, clips and action in the presentation....... even if they try to deliver "knowledge". They do not succeed. You rock - keep on taking your time and taking my time.... because it is both entertaining, more valuable and timesaving in the long run. Thank you, Tyler.

I'm not writing a screenplay, I'm writing a manuscript. Your videos have helped me essentially troubleshoot my problems with it. I now know how to end my story because I'm a pantser by nature and had no clue where I was going and now I realise I had a direction & basic foundational idea all along I just hadn't consciously identified it. Now I know what they are I can build to its end and it's now ridiculously easy to figure out because of you. Thank you.

This is what I've just did on my latest project. Introduce each character with their own conflict and beliefs. The video makes me understand what I've been doing much better, thanks for it.

What if your protagonist is his own antagonist... because of what he believes and what he assumes

Was flicking through, hoping to find some real content and luckily stumbled across your vid. As soon as I saw frames from Twelve Angry Men, I knew this would be good. Anyone with appreciation for Twelve Angry Men will always win my vote. It's a genius piece of work and an amazing study in human interaction - no car chases or flashbacks or love interest - just amazing writing delivered perfectly from a table full of talent.

i've been having a hard time writing conflict for my characters as of late. this came at such a brilliant time!

So much love and appreciation for you, all the way from India!

Hey Tyler!! You are doing a great job.I have watched several channels on screenwriting but your content is the best.Keep it up.Hope you reach 1 million subscribers soon. Pls don't lose the quality of your content ...Thank You

I must say, your videos are some of the best I’ve come across. I’m working on a novel and these are extremely helpful.

This is misleading. This isn’t only for screenplay but for storytelling in general. I save these videos and screenshot important points and it all seems to connect to novels, not just screenplay. Well done, sir.

Your videos and presentation of these concepts is phenomenal. Astounding analysis, editing, and effort, I really appreciate how you break down these literary devices, patterns, or tactics, it's so helpful, adds clarity, and is inspiring. Thank you!

This series is pure gold! I'm loving every damn minute of it!

your course is great, i dont understand how you dont have more views, keep going with the great job

your videos are always really informative. i don't write as often as i used to, but i always keep them in mind whenever i start something. these videos have been very helpful.

You're doing a very great thing helping others, the information you're sharing is literally priceless. Thank you very much!

Finished binge watching 5 tyler videos for today. Now I can start writing again!

Woah, I found you yesterday and you just uploaded a new video! Very convenient!!

I am sooo glad I subscribed to this channel, absolutely brilliant video, 1 week away from starting my script, yes watched other good videos, but this is priceless!

Thank you for this series btw. You've been a great help for me.

I strongly needed this video today. Gracias amigo. Saludos desde Chile.

Man, your videos are just fascinating. I love the way you analyze and explain everything with such detail and also giving great examples. Keep it up!

If only you knew how much your videos have helped my novel, no words can thank you enough. You're the best human ever. So thank you so much.

I really need to make notes to this video to actually understand it. I really like to thank you for making this kind of content video.

Thanks. I know how to create rivalries in my story now!

This is actually useful than those videos i watched back then

Thanks mate! Now I can write my own conflict for my short movie.

I learned something new and understandable when it comes to story telling, thanks!

I genuinely think you're one of the best video eassyists. Great job, man!

THANK YOU! Without this, i wouldn't progress into writing stories much further

Wonderful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

This made so much sense, I'm beyond thankful you put this together! You addressed the questions I had about conflict brilliantly.

you give some great information THANK YOU so much. make more stuff like this.

"What does your character want and why are the doing what they're doing right now?"

Great video, Tyler. Thanks for making it.

WHY ARE YOUR VIDEOS UNDERRATED!? WHY.

This series is really awesome! I like how you organized everything. Found this after discovering the story circle. Community is just about my favorite show. I've decided to join your Facebook group. Signing up now. Name's John Smith on FB 😃👍

Bravo!!! Thank you!!!

these are great, would love to see more comedy examples to see if they follow the same line of thinking. Writing advice always seems so deep and serious!

Great video! Thanks Tyler!

this is great. I love your videos, keep it up man!

this is a terrific video - thank you

Great suggestions. So glad I found this channel. As a writer struggling with short stories, this is really helpful. I've posted a request to join your Facebook group. I hope to see you there soon.

Great video as usual! I've been thinking about what the ultimate philosophical question is and honestly it means I have to learn more about philosophy, (politics, economy, and theology at least) before I actually have the proper backbone of moral argument. I just wonder whether it is possible to do that since life keeps going and even our own beliefs are constantly changing or being tested.

Great again, Tyler!

Another great vid Tyler!

Thanks!

Wow!! Great Content!!!

Best video I've seen in days

Going to apply this to a novel good points, thanks

This is incredible... It's really really helpful ❤️

Yesss! To all of it. Retweet! 🍻

Great content!

You my sir earned yourself a new subscriber also could you do a video on fight scenes

I learn from you and because of you

Bro... you're a genius

Great video!

nice vid #inspiration 🙌 gave me some ideas for my channel!

I loved the video .. Thank you

Very cool 🌟🎬🌳

I think parrels across different art forms are always interesting. Take song writing. Take a typical 8 bars. Usually but not always, the first line ends on say a quarter note, the next on a half, the next on say a whole note. The last on a whole note plus. Each note longer than the other building to the final cadence end note.

Little Miss sunshine is one of my all time favourite movies

The Joker even thinks Batman is, "Just a freak... like me."

Thank you :)

Dude I didn't know you had a youtube channel. I am in your fb writer group 😂

7:42 Batman does his best Clint Eastwood impression.

Christian Bale's BATMAN's voice hasn't aged well.

Idk if you watch Naruto but I feel like there has to be a video on Pain. (Hence the pfp) he has to be one of the most interesting and entertaining villains I’ve ever seen with a crazy philosophical view

Some people just can't help it that's why I read my Bible and pray because it's a spiritual warfare some people look for drama look for conflict it's like the air you breathe that's they medicine conflict and drama that's the life they live for they love it mess trouble violence they life 🙌

Can't find Understanding Story Structure anywhere! Loving all of these videos. Where can I find this one?

I wonder if you could slot an institution into Harmon’s story circle so it can be used for sociological storytelling in place of individual focused psychological stories

Could you use a Cobra Kai Example of Want and Cost? I'd love to see tgat .

Robert McKee "borrowed" Scene Objective and Super Objective from Stanislavsky. You should maybe also incorporate John Yorke's book "Into The Woods".

What about the illusion of growth?

You love to see it

12:15 Dan Harmon’s story circle 16:41 John Truby upside down triangle

His tone alone is better than most teach and professors 😭😭😭😭😭😅

18:10 do they change the cloth out? Or does every person use the same piece to dry their hands?

✌✌

You know, the difference between your channel and others can be considered identical as the difference between knowledge and information

Hello, can you make a video on conflict of Home Alone, please

3:00 stop snorting the damn sugar Harold

It was a talent show.

a.one character me, their belief and values, what is gonna be challenged ,"external conflict": like challenges like free will, simulation, matters note: I might have to go with team a litllle bit earlier to create these kinda stuff and to be more intresting the story "internal conflict": and build some of your characters in the the story with their litlle beliefs to interact with main character not all characters b.throught the story 1. create greater and greater conflict as the character morphs and changes to rise to the challenges of the antagonistic forses the antagonistic forses must grow stronger and more intence to continually push the main character 2.passing points of no return not being able to turn back because the philosophical and external concequences ex. can the people turn around and go home? no because they would admit defeat what the character beliefs to get them headed towards their goal c.scene conflict how to say what you want in story once you know your characters and know how the chene might move the story forwards we can see example: the scene objective: to find the location of harvey dent the super objective: is to bring gotham of order and justice but it goes deeper: they say what they believe my example scene objective: to find where the tech is super objective: to save our conceissness better life but it goes deeper: to say what you believe note: episode2 and I have to choose while speaking with thier leader to save ted or get the tech I will choose ted but there are more ways that I can go were I want to go ok now how am I gonna start it first get the teck to go back home or put a beam for your team some of your friends to find you "josh schlut" and gather people build their beileifs from the team get back together "I think it's time to get the team back together" son of a bitch I am in, I am gonna play with the characters in the story from smplive phase one: going home and getting back together the team and grow and play with it phase2: again all of this what we have to challeng to save ted and grow the characters and play phase3: super objective and stuff that I have to choose and say what I believe and to put it together with tension and pacing

Tyler I see you already wrote a movie. Well as it happens I am writing as well. Would be possible to get in touch that you can take a look?

How can this be tied into character arc?

What movie is this

Batman believes in the rule of law, the justice system and morality" yeah that doesn't prevent him from breaking the law every night

what is that lawyer movie

8:02

i see the confirmation bias in play. james bonds believe systems are rarely challenged, if at all.

What's the first shot of the video (film name plz)

Please send this video to the writers of Game of Thrones, maybe you can save the new Star wars movies.

I hope the new video about same topic will be different 😓😓😓😓

Iya ya Allah.
