@@TylerMowery hey Tyler, I know your channel is about screenwriting but have you ever thought of doing a qna video

Same here. He's seriously educating me on how to write better and I enjoy jotting own notes watching his videos.

69th like. Nice.

@@blueskye2790 There's a 5 part video on youtube that explains the principle of the Story Grid. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5ldl9pqyK_cYqM.html storygrid.com/5-commandments/ storygrid.com/writing-scenes-work/ "There are two ways to frame an inciting incident: Causal or Coincidental. In either case, the inciting incident gets the story or scene going and makes a promise to the reader of what’s to come. Progressive Complications are the escalating degrees of conflict that the protagonist faces Turning Points are the peak progressive complications of a unit of story. Turning points drive the complications to a point of no return. The definable dilemmas that a character faces must coalesce into a question that offers a choice between two options, or a Crisis. A crisis asks a character to make a decision And the answer to these decisions is the active choice of the character, the Climax. Climax is the truth of the character. A Resolution is the necessary followup to everything that has happened before it. It doesn’t have to be long, but in order to feel like a story was completed, a resolution must be included and compelling." These 5 stages are a kind of framework, that you can apply to a scene, sequence, act, or the whole story. The character's "goal" in the scene/story isn't necessarily directly related to these individual stages (they are the stages the scene/act/story goes through) but obviously the inciting incident of a story is connected to the character's goal or obstacle. In some stories the main character's 'goal' is established later in the story (or the 'true goal' is revealed). A scene doesn't have to have *all* of these stages, all of the time, but if a scene isn't working, it can help to use this tool to analyse it. Does that make sense? Another way to think of it is that every scene is like a mini story in itself

Hahahaha

That’s awesome! Thanks for the support!

Writing and making my first feature (two months from now it seems). Hope it goes great, it’s super stressful for me as I’m sure it is for you. Good luck

Hows it going now??

Done and dusted. I’m on my second at the moment which is one I have far more faith and drive to pursue making/filming. The first really was a test dummy😂 but at least it got me to write a full 110 pages with structure being considered. I did a beat sheet for my second one and that has ‘sped up’ the process by a lot!

@@Hanbl-ip1tn Do you mind letting others check it out or read either 1?? Im currently in the process writing a first draft now.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like the videos

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Hey Jayla I like you watch different videos like this on KZfaq and I’m looking to like put together team of writers where we can help each other with ideas and hold each other accountable to help turn our WIP in to finished polished pieces. Are you interested?

@@ARTOFFICIVL yes very interested! Here’s my email Jaylanorfleet69@gmail.com / Instagram @jaylathemuse

Thank you!

Yeah there’s a big difference between the two mediums. Novels require a lot more descriptions because it’s a non-visual medium. You have to describe the world, the scene, even facial expressions. Screenplays have to more succinct and to the point, because they’re mostly about dialogue.

@@aldunlop4622 Yep, I agree in the difference between these mediums. But all in all, these are only tools at the end. They give us perspective and help us to analize where are the key problems all stories have at the core, which for me is the meaning and the capacity to create empathy in our audience. 🙃 And even though I haven't watched a lot of movies, I don't think movies are mostly about dialogue?? Not all of them at least. They are a visual medium for a reason, and that is the opportunity of show more than say. The gestures, the facial expression, the body language say more than simple words. 🙈

I may do them. They’re just really mentally intensive to give in depth story feedback off the top of my head while also keeping up with chat

It's a sentence mistake.

I don't think there's an exact number, but percentage-wise it could be 20:40:20 for each Act, respectively. Then again, you should only use it as a guideline if you're stuck, instead of as a format. Regarding writing episodes, you might want to try out Dan Harmon's story circle, or the 2-Act structure, which prevents the characters from undergoing too much change in the span of 1 episode.

Think of acts as less then the scenes in between but as the beginning and end of each act being a monumental choice or change that the character makes that effects the rest of story and other act points. Too long of an act one with set up feels like the story isn’t going anywhere. (Usually this is less than page 30, 17-25 is the sweet spot, but it’s not a rule remember, just a guideline) Act 2 is all about building to the midpoint, and the other half is the fallout of the midpoint. Act 3 is the response to everything the character’s learned from act 2 Amount of scenes doesn’t matter, depends on the film. (Pages and minutes does though most of time) More or less scenes just depends on the pacing of the story, if you’re making some small intimate character study, maybe a scene change every 2 min isn’t the best way to go. (Again a guideline)

Justice League is a DC movie made by Warner Bros.

@@jefersonpedro928 yeah.

That's a simple correction. And yes, I do believe he did.

Already did! Check my channel!

Their is a Difference of land and Sky

To play or not to play

Yea I’ll get back to it

Sure, if their want was motivated by their lie then overcoming the lie means finding a new want.

@@scrabdusanproductions2104 no I mean their goals elevate, from being a supporting role in something to be the one doing that something mainly?

@@JoJo-xp6wr of course it can, it's just a matter of how their want ties in with the main narrative, or you could focus closer on him rather than bring him into the main plot and have a significant subplot in which he is the protagonist

@@benjaminread5287 thanks my friend

It’s not great haha

@@TylerMowery when you said watch a bad scene i was like oh No! Do you need say more great example of poor writing.

Yes.

@aπостол антuxpucтa Right! And if she thinks so, then she does not want to find a love (in this scene). So why are "both characters wants to find love" (in this particular scene) ?

Draw from your own experience
