*GOATED VIDEO*

Cody Rhodes

This vido was exactly what I was looking for,was very helpful

Damm I thought it was Heathcliff. Throwing out all my scripts. Fk.

I am writing this short series😭😭and people think um taking chances

I think these changes were excellent offers. The unobtanium one is great too, but I also like like how the clan would challenge Jake to prove he didn't think in a human way anymore, very interesting! One remark I would make: he didn't "take" Neytiri. She equally chose him, she had her own agency in picking Jake as her partner.

This is a very interesting video about exposition because to your point it is much more memorable to meet characters through action and not through dialogue because I didn’t even know they Sallah was the greatest digger in all of Egypt because it was explained through dialogue and not shown through action

I need more exercises, I need characters that are purposefully generic but that makes the story go like a test.. but I can't pull it out, creating characters is veeery hard. New concepts are easy and big goals, but actually making a starting chapter is hard.

From my POV the "lie", is not undermining the belief of the character, it is more lie a justification for their behaviour and Worldview. It is what they tell themselves, so they can sleep at night.

Omg, this sounds so good but still.. it's so confusing once I chose mysteries. I'm still really bad with human interactions even overthinking or simplifying it.

Memento is the best

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

I am learning so much from your videos thank you so much! Does this work?: A stay-at-home Mum makes an unusual bad decision leading to a life of crime, will she see the light before it's too late and she loses everything she has ever loved? Feedback from anyone would be appreciated, thank you!

How do you know what every detail mean?

I love the idea that a story or character will just kinda wander into his head and possess him so much that he eventually writes it out, because thats what happens to me alot. It never occurred to me to write these stories out in a screenplay format, but it sems so logical after watching Quentin's works and reading some of his screenplays. He really gives us so much and simultaneously so little that he almost seems to want us to take the story and continue or finish it for ourselves.

5:48 best true line ever ❤

Awesome video. My only thing would be to keep doing that - question setup; flashback answer; move story forward -- cans and does become monotonous and formulaic. Which is why it's recommended to use flashbacks minimally. So if for some reason you had to use numerous flashbacks in a movie it might actually be a good idea to shake up how you're using them as opposed to constantly going question, flashback, move forward.

HA....of course you would pit Paadington Bear against Thanos. Have you seen Paddies shoulders?....he's friends with everyone?.....Thanos ain't for nothing on him without that shiny, brass glove...

Teddy also gives the holster as well, not just the gun. The issue is how much difficulty "Chuck" had with taking his out.

How I wrote a feature length script in two days: 1. Get drunk I hope this is helpful to some nascent writer out there, and saves you 18 minutes. Peace!

You wrote a screenplay in 48 hours. And the most successful part is getting a million views on youtube talking about it. As opposed to getting made lol.

WSC anyone?

You can tell entire u r video summary in a min instead of wasting 7 mins

Chuck forgot Stand By Me

Paddinton vs. Thanos is something I never knew I wanted until now

"Waste the rest of his life on a pipe dream." Meanehile, inside a pipe of poopies.

You may as well have titled the video: "How to Rework a Truly Creative Film to Fit the Syd Field Screenplay Model and Become Utterly Predictable". It was a delightful change of pace to have Buddy take a dark antagonist turn at the end. Like Hitchcock killing off Janet Leigh halfway through "Psycho". sometimes you have to kick Syd Field to the curb and find different paths.

When should we expect the practical screenwriting course 2.0 to drop?

🗣💯 Not Being Predictable

0:04 IS THAT CHICA!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Awesome. Thanks, man.

Jeez, I wouldn't describe her as an old woman.

What about fight club? Per your structure I don’t see the philosophical shift and it’s a solid twist

Have to disagree about only writing a script in special software. That’s just gate-keeping talk. Learning proper formatting in any word processing software is helpful. I wouldn’t recommend relying on the software to do everything for you.

Thank you so much for all your videos in this playlist. They're super helpful and informative, love them!

In my opinion, I want feedback. You have to get yourself to a point where feedback is a learning opportunity and like learning a game. Personally, I have a bit of a teaching motivation to my writing, and I want to build my skills in order to become a better teachers.

the correct way to live is to live knowing yourself, and that’s what this movie tells

Guys,be honest and tell me,how many of you here has written any sitcom? I really don't believe that just any person could become a sitcom writer after watching tutorials on youtube about how to write a sitcom,so im begging you to be honest,and tell me : Did you write anything that later on came on TV?

"The evocation of Charlie Parker's life story, in the Film Whiplash, is the Symbol of the embodiment of the Life philosophy of the main antagonist of the film; this life philosophy being " The absolute obsession with the desire to excel in the mastery of a universal means of expression" , to the detriment of your mental and physical health, which would be the true consequence of following this life path; and the pattern of behaviour it implies IS the risk or sacrifice the protagonist must make to GET WHAT HE WANTS; the Motif used in Whiplash is therefore none other than the motif of The Drum Set = the rhythmic assault tank, as a mean of controlling the rhythm of the Universe; and the moral of the film: "the extremes to which ambition can lead a man". All these elements belong to the Genre Codes of Sports and Military Action Films. Attempt at analysis is all commendable, Tyler Mowery.

This helps me to unblock my mind, thank you!

Yeah but why would a deaf girl go on a date with a guy and not tell him she’s deaf?

Great review of a movie that I’ve come to appreciate more over the years.

Great movies are a great teacher for dialogue. I’m learning to write as little dialogue as possible to move the plot to the next scene but it’s tough to do. Good writing and dialogue is no joke. Props to those who can do it well.

Sorry but these ideas are too formulaic and restrictive

Man simplified a simplified version of the hero’s journey… respect.

Two years ago, I was inspired by the short subject film "Stille Dorst" (High Tide), a Dutch film with English subtitles. It amazed me that in the span of 22 minutes, this powerful short could convey so much emotion and communicate to the audience the terror of being who you are when you live in a world geared to reject and revile a person. The actors were superb, the writing was tight, and the cinematography was both simple yet reflective of this two character drama. I knew (after this little short knocked the literal stuffing out of me emotionally) that I wanted to take my considerable writing prowess and create a short of my own. Mine will be like nothing anyone has ever seen; and to my knowledge, no one has ever attempted on film. That could be a double-edged sword, I know. I also realize that writing creatively vs developing a solid script are two completely differrent creatures. Then I happened upon this video. You've, in a matter of that magical 22 minutes (there must be something in that 11 x 2 magic...LOL) explained to me exactly what needs to go where, and how to develop it. THANK YOU! Whatever is borne from my effort basically will be decreed by The Fates at this juncture. I have a long way to go getting a 5 minute short from paper into production. Knowing that I have zero budget is daunting. I seem to remember a couple of dudes a few years back making a very interesting little film using CGI that was leaps and bounds beyond what any studio at that time had produced. They had an airplane landing on a highway, and then using the main character's truck bed as the front wheel to compensate for the lack of said equipment due to mechanical failure. It was tight, well-thought out writing, gripping, and that ending was wholly unexpected. These fledgling filmmakers did this on a virtually nothing budget. With that small bit of cash, they created a vignette that looked as if it had cost a few hundred thousand dollars when the finished product hit the web. At the time, that realism in CGI tech was nowhere near developed enough to create that realistic a model. With that in mind, they managed to not only pull it off; but create an action-packed yet humorous short story masterpiece. There is no reason anyone with the talent and imagination cannot put together a short subject film that could shine among some of these fantastic cinematic moments (I learned tonight that "Whiplash" started off as a short subject film...and that was quite a surprise to me as the feature length film was so well done. I really had zero idea that it was a small film that grew into what it became...which was mindbogglingly excellent). With video support from people like yourself; you're putting the basics into the hands of creators. For that...I want to thank you. Wish me luck! If you see something out there on the web that looks like nothing you've ever seen before, hopefully; you'll see my name in the credits...LOL. Thank you. I'm grateful to have this as a resource. It made a difference.

25k is criminal i feel with apparent character hierachy power of choice becomes murky, even though andy has the power of choice, it comes with an asterix because he's under steve in the hierarchy, that's why at the end he can order 'fix it'. it's saying you have power only because I gave it to you

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

On a less abstract level one of my favorite ideas for this is to take two or more stories and make them the same story. So for instance I had a concept for a TTRPG character several years ago where me the the dungeon master decided to look at the story of the prince of a conquered kingdom and the hero's deafening the evil sorcerer king but viewed as the aftermath .

yea
