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

Would you start a series where you write a full script, giving it your all, and document that with reasons you make certain decisions being included and that kinda thing? Just an idea! Love your work man, keep it up!

"I don't want to change my characters..." Sometimes we are such spitting images of our own characters - fighting change... Let them fear it in our stead! 💪✌️🙃 Thanks for the tips!

Best philosophical conflict I've seen in years was the Daredevil vs Punisher feud in Daredevil S2

Yes, if you allow yourself to break your plot points to better serve the theme, you'll cerate something so much better! I know it's hard, I've faced this issue a few times, but you godda believe in yourself, believe that you will write an even better plot point than the one you are currently in love with

At the early stages of my writing I have gotten stuck at understanding the relationship between THEME & PHILOSOPHICAL CONFLICT, thank you for giving a clearer insight of that relationship. Those two could easily lead to confusion at the early stages of screen writing.

This video in particular was incredibly helpful to me, thanks again Tyler 💋

we love you, Tyler. Keep pushing

Hey Tyler i love your work! It is helping me a lot! Thank you so much bro ❤

This video is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Great video. This is very practical. Thanks very much!

Great video Tyler loved how laid this one out! ‘

Thank you, it was really helpful!

I really want to know, what’s everyone’s preferred method for writing Film/TV. I always hear different views like start with theme, plot, character etc

Tarkin is the antagonist in Star Wars. Darth Vader is a temptation and hinder character, aka contagonist.

This is invaluable

Excellent. Thank you.

I'm wondering how this works on ensemble cast stories with no singular protagonist? Like, there's several people involved with no "main" antagonist(villain) with 4 "protagonists" , but all characters have the same goal. Like say they're in a competition, they want to win obviously. And say your philosophical conflict is something like the concept of "technician vs performer", would the characters be then split into two sorta camps where their beliefs are variations of each side? Like 1 is a "rules lawyer" who prioritized technique for the scoring system, 2 is on tech camp because he can't freestyle, 3 is on perf because he keeps forgetting the steps order, and 4 is on perf because he is a narcissist who wants to show off. Something like that? EDIT: thinking after writing maybe if there's two rival teachers who trained these guys so we'll get clearer "protagonist/antagonist" anchors, and each students interpreted their teachings differently.

Tyler, I love your content so please don't take this the wrong way. So I've been watching your videos and up to your more recent ones I've noticed a dip in the presentation of your videos like editing; I think people will respond more to videos that are well edited and are entertaining while still informative, this is purely just because I have ADHD and I struggle concentration, but I've observed that watching your older more stylised videos that they were much easier to understand for beginners as you simple it down, here I feel like I'm watching a professor break down a math problem on a whiteboard. Hope you don't take this in a way that resembles a hate comment but I'm really trying to give friendly helpful criticism. Also personally I'm starting to find the consistent red themed thumbnails off putting.

This is probably one of my big issues as a beginner. Don’t want to kill my darling man :(

I'm having a bit of a struggle for chosing between VP1 and VP2 for my main character : If the actual "antagonist" is the weather/climate but no actual people, can he start by having VP2 the "bad VP" and then switch to VP1 ?

To clarify the theme of this video, this is a video of thematic "conflict".

What are you thoughts on Attack on Titan’s last chapter

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m going to do so anyway lol I have two clear philosophical beliefs laid out that are at odds with each other, and the protagonist believes the first one at the story’s beginning. But in my story, the second one is more ‘mature’; I believe it’s objectively the ‘right’ one between the two. For this reason my story is about the character slowly realizing that the second belief is much better and more mature, and the ending sees them fully adopting it and casting aside their previous belief. But I want this change to feel earned, so there is no character that lives by the conflicting belief in full. Instead, different characters oppose smaller parts of the belief, and it’s the protagonist’s job to piece these together and realize the conflicting belief himself. So my questions are: Can I make one belief clearly more mature and have the story be about the protagonist fully converting to it? and Does it make sense to split the conflicting belief between characters so the protagonist must make the connections himself?

First!

Ok that is all good tyler, but you never tell us how to create change in every scene for the evolution of the character how does the protagonist change when confronting someone with a different viewpoint

I see Vader in the thumbnail and I'm worried.

had to listen to this instead of watching because I kept getting distracted by those eyes - being gay really is too much sometimes ☠️

Dude, do you have any idea how many times I hear WITHOUT FURTHER ADO every day on KZfaq?? Ditch it.

Man I struggle writing what their beliefs are.

This is a bit of an oversimplification of theme
