Get Practical Tools to Write Your Great Screenplay: www.practicalscreenwriting.com

The questions: - what do the characters want? - what is the specific problem in the scène? What creates conflict? - what do the characters do to try to get what they want? - how does this scene change the overall story? - what are the goals of the characters in the story and in this scene particular?

Reminds me of Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park)’s “Therefore/But” rule: Every scene should be linked to the next by either the word “therefore” (causation) or “but” (complication). Keeps the story simple, dramatic, and moving forward! Helps me a lot:)

Your content is perfect while we're Isolated in our Homes

Hey can you do a video about having two protagonists? I’ve never seen a video on it before and think it’d be helpful.

Keep teaching us bro, I've actually started writing a story with the help of your videos!!!

You have an uncanny ability to post the exact video I need.

two of my feature scripts are moving forward with the hopes of selling and going into production in the fall. Im currently rewriting to send in my second draft to the producers. im SO nervous. so thankful for these videos as im looking through the scripts.

Often times a person might be great at what they do but they are lousy when it comes to teaching/ training. You Tyler have a gift, perfect explanations and examples. Thank you for all the great info you provide. It really does help.

Scene components : Desire Conflict Action Change

The editing skills is 👏🏼👏🏼

1:18 That cartoon is me during this whole writing process

This is SO HELPFUL! I'm outlining a new story but I've seemingly always struggled with making scenes GO somewhere, to have purpose! This is so concise and well-explained!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

I'm a simple man,I see 500 days of summer,I click. Great video btw!

Reminds me of Nolan when he said "If there's a problem in the third act, it means there's actually a problem in the first act."

I've been trying to get into the heads of my favorite Authors for months but end in vain. The biggest challenge was that I didn't know how they created their scenes perfectly to affect the story until now. Thanks. This gonna help my structures to run smoothly because I been getting stuck after writing a lot of unnecessary details. 👍👍👍

when I'm out of good movies to watch, I check one of this guy's video and at the end I have a list of good movies to watch

Thank you for this! This explained screenwriting better than many of the other videos I've watched recently. I loved the beginning when you poked fun at different methods out there as a bad place to start at first. Awesome work!!

Watching Tyler's videos feels like I'm attending film school remotely and dont have to move to New York, Florida or California to attend. Bravo.

Thank you, Tyler! By the way, these are also amazing questions to help one connect the most powerful final cut in editing. Your instructions and directions go so much more deeper than just writing. As always...Thank you for being persistent in keeping this channel alive and moving.

Tyler I just wrote my first screenplay. I would love for you to read it and give me your feedback. If it wasn't for that "Blue Moon" script you wrote, I wouldn't have had the drive.

When Red goes to find the letter in the shawshank redemption there's no conflict. Yet its a good scene

Thank you for the presentation. Really appreciate how well organized this discussion was on how to write a scene. Tyler seems more like an architect than a gardener in style.

I'm a 15 year old aspiring script/screenplay writer. I'm currently working on my first script, and so far I have ten pages done! I know it's not a lot, but I've had this idea for over a year so I'm excited to finally write it all out 😁

Thank you for sharing your gift. As an aspiring playwright, though it is different from screenwriting, you've helped me in so many ways in the craft of creating dynamic characters and putting my thoughts clearly on the page to tell a compelling story. I don't have access to these platforms in my country apart from the tube so please continue doing this for people like me. You're amazing and gonna go far. Cheers 🇬🇾

Thank you so much. This is one of the best resources for beginning my screenplay which I will review once or twice more at least. This is one of the best ways I have spent 15 min and 43 seconds since learning how to write with all the footage I've been viewing.

Great content--simple questions that demand important answers. Love it.

Your content is so perfect and has actually inspired me to finish a few scripts so thank you! :)

By the way, I'm a novel writer, not a screenplay writer, and I find all of your advice applies equally well in that field. Thanks for this series, really enjoying it.

Your videos are always a joy to watch, it is always so perfect, no second wasted, a good screenplay in itself.

I love these type of videos, they are very didatic and really encourage me to write down a a draft.

Tyler, thanks for this video! Had there been times were I took a different POV from the books, especially one by Jill Chamberlain, your videos help and I’m up everyday learning new strategies! I have the idea of no budget film revolving around three characters. I’m obsessed about making it look cool, but it’s a learning curve and I have to take this step by step. We’re all students of curiosity, my brother! And more importantly looking at films that don’t involve VFX, only surround around character. Thank you again, still pushing and never stop until we all achieve where we want to be

Excellent video. I wrote down these questions and considerations to keep handy when I start writing.

Thanks for the lessons man, keep up the good work.

I love your videos man. For a person like me who never plans to attend film school, people like you who take the time to create these concise conceptual visuals are a blessing. Thanks Homie. I wanted to challenge your idea on the SOC movie. When creating a biopic do you think there is room for leniency in that rule if the scene is an integral part of the characters life even if its not ideal for that particular screenplay? If my explanation needs more explaining let me know.

After this video i've decided to rewrite a short film screenplay that i had made, and now i'm completely changing the story, in a way that i think it's making the story way more interesting. Thank you for your videos! Greetings from Brazil!

As someone who enjoys reading and has just thought of writing. Your videos are a Harvard Grade Course taught easily and effectively

I love how easy you made the info to retain!

Thanks Tyler! So helpful!!! Keep 'em coming!

I have always struggled with storytelling! This video broke it down perfectly for me. Thank you so much!

Amazing video! I just did a video on how to write a great opening scene, so I think a great scene should have suspense, conflict and stakes, mystery and should open a lot of questions, so the audience will be intrigued to watch the next scene.

Thanks for the video. You explained the process very well.

Another great video! Super helpful and exactly what I needed to get through my next script.

Love this channel your videos always inspire me to start writing and to make sure the story works .

Thanks for all the hardwork you put into these videos, they really stand out and be helpful in their own way by understanding the writer too instead of just the writing.

Such a simple straight and great explanation. Thank you 😊

THIS IS PERFECT! thanks for simplifying this!

Thank you so much, this is probably the most clear explanation on this topic, great video 😊

Outstanding content. This is VERY helpful... watched it several times. Thanks!

Thank you so much for these videos. ♥️

My god this is so well done, I love your channel I love your videos I'm so thankful for this

Another great lesson, and great examples to go with the lesson.

Glad this came up and that you pitted fiction vs non-fiction, NWA vs. No Country. Showing Snoop is something that they HAVE to show, an Easter Egg of sorts. Are you suggesting 1. Cut that studio scene? 2. Cut Snoop totally from the screenplay? 3. Leave the studio scene but cutting out prior Dre vs. Suge conflict scene? 4. Introducing Snoop in a different scene without the need for the redundant Dre vs. Suge conflict, possibly fictionalizing they way they met? 5. None of the above.

this is an excellent, and perfectly summarized video, that helped me look better at the scene I was having troubles with. Thank you so much.

These were some really good points made in the way scenes are made, how they work in order to push the story forward.

Best viewed and heard till date. Thank you. Do elaborate with additional videos.

Fantastic advice! Thanks so much, this really helps me ground my writing

Thank you, this came at a perfect time! I’m writing a 60 second film currently, and you have single-handedly taught me how to write.

Thanks Tyler, it was really useful for me to get through the writer's block.

Hey Tyler, your videos are a great help! Do you think you could maybe do a video on writing for a series/tv show?

This is a good screen video
