20Books Vegas 2021 Day 1 - John Truby - Secrets of Genre

[@dragonsmith9012]

God bless you, John Truby. I was critical of you in the past. Wish I'd kept my mouth shut and listened. ❤

[@wab6556]

The master at work!

[@MATTHEWJALLABASTRO]

Watched this presentation live. I could've listened for hours more. Fantastic.

[@ADBorrego]

Great presentation. I read his back some time ago and really liked it. Might check out that software.

[@RynShellAuthorCoach]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@catrinlewis939]

Wish his commentary could have been kept in even if the film clips were cut out. We lost some of his meatiest conclusions without it. Not yet possible?

There is a new version of this video in the 20books Vegas 2022 conference - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZzPkIOIYsSUnpI

Well, copyright restrictoins suck

[@TheStephanieAnnFoster]

Any guesses where John might place a survival story along the lines of Hatchet?

[@wab6556]

I am have not read the story, but I have read the synopsis. The main genre will probably be Action. Taking action and never giving up is the main theme of the story from what I have quickly read through. Depending on what the character encounters throughout the story, you can add other genres into the story such as Horror and/or Myth. If the character is young which may have been the possible case, Myth genre is all about tracking the character's growth (i.e., life journey from 1 stage in life into the next stage of their life). Hope it helps.

@@wab6556 Thank you!

Wow brilliant!

[@Nassaldromus]

You probably know more than me about copyright, but wouldn't the usage os a clip for educational purposes fall under fair use? Too late to do anything about this, though, I guess, even if I was right.

[@indyvoter3134]

@53:47 "the greatest British crime film ever made" -- The Rise of the Krays and yet 22% of RT, 4.9 on IMDB and 67% of Google users liked it. I think Truby must have his Kray films mixed up or he hasn't watched this one.

[@Cargasacchi1]

Is there an audible version of this somewhere?

[@TheRealBronweN]

It's so dumb that portions were removed for copyright. Copyright doesn't apply to educational pieces, like this obviously is.

The channel was monetized at the time of uploading the videos. It no longer is.
