I wrote my first great script in the last few months. It's my seventh and comes 20 years after my first attempt. I read Blake Snyder about ten years ago but found it too constrictive and largely ignored it save for the idea of making your protagonist immediately likable. Then after doing my polished first draft of this script (which I normally would have considered to be finished and sent off to competitions) in my usual way of just following my gut based on years of avid movie watching, I watched a few videos from Michael Hague and followed his structure and character arc guidelines. Through about four rewrites it created a far better script with better defined characters and a clearer structure. The story remained pretty much the same, but the characters really came alive and the story gained more impetus through focusing on constant conflict more than I usually would. I got the script to exactly 110 pages and my break into act two occurs on page 25, but these things happened quite organically rather than me trying to hit exact page numbers.

Tyler Mowery I appreciate how u made sure to make the distinction between story theory and A screenwriting template or methodology. I feel that’s incredibly insightful and very important to remember when looking at story theory and various methodologies

[@OutstandingScreenplays]

Great video, very insightful! I would say that in your first draft you shouldn't think of structure too much and just write freely and let yourself go. But in the second and third draft, you definitely should try and shape your screenplay in at least somewhat structure so your script will tell a satisfying story. You might say that Quentin Tarantino is against the structure, but he actually writes in chapters and his final films always have a solid structure.

@@KutWrite On the script I just finished I wrote a three page outline of my story before beginning. Then I wrote the script and diverged about 30%. Then I analysed what I'd written and diverged about another 30% in the subsequent rewrites. I don't think I would be able to envisage exactly what happens in a finished story without attempting to write it because so many ideas occur to you along the way, but at the same time without having made an outline to begin with I could have gone off the rails completely and had to completely rewrite the first draft. Which incidentally is the feedback I've had on all my previous scripts where I wrote no outline at all: "Page 1 rewrite"!!

[@DanielEarl]

Plot is definitely what people struggle with most.

[@formulaic78]

I find characters far harder. When I have a great high concept idea, I find I can follow that for 110 pages without too many issues. For me the hardest part is making my characters come alive because I don't really care about character, I like plot. For example I don't like Die Hard because of John McCain's pretty stereotypical rendition of a grizzled cop, I like it because of the situation the writer creates and how that unfolds. What I found really helped me with characters is the idea of them each having needs, goals, and psychological and moral weaknesses (which I think I got from Michael Hague). Especially just even being aware of the latter two helped me to bring my characters to life. For example in the script I just finished I gave my lead character a Toronto Blue Jays cap that he wears throughout. This actually belonged to his dead father and he has a mannerism of touching it whenever he feels threatened. The cap also represents his psychological weakness of not being able to trust people because his dad promised he would be back before running into a burning house and dying in the prologue. At the end of the movie he gives the cap to someone he has learned to trust, highlighting his arc of change from being distrustful to trusting. The cap is also a Canadian team cap because another aspect of the story is the struggle his Mexican immigrant friend has to go through to be accepted in America, while his Canadian family easily assimilated. In the past I just would have given him the cap to differentiate him, but not put any thought behind why THAT cap. Developing the characters in this way also really helped my plot though too. By putting greater conflict between them it allows the story to be naturally more interesting, even if it still ends up at the same place.

[@yejikim3481]

@@formulaic78 yeah, I can relate. I agree that you should have goals for your character, but make sure that it plays a part in the story. Remember, what your character believes controls a lot of what they do. That's why I started writing lots of character-driven stories, which moves forward by what the character believes. Here's an example of a plot: A man goes to the store to buy some milk. Boring, right? We don't know anything about the man. But here's a character driven plot: A man named Bob woke up on a Monday morning, feeling exhausted. He had spent all night working on a project that was due today, but he only started working on it the day before. He had gotten so little sleep, he was so tempted to go back to his bed and take the day off. Hell, he was tempted to just quit! But he knew he couldn't bear to lose his job for the fifth time this year. So instead, he walked to the kitchen and started brewing some coffee. Just to make sure he was fully awake and ready for the day, he made 22 shots of espresso and took a sip, then spit it straight out. It was way to bitter for his taste, since he always preferred to drink latte. Not bothering to clean up the mess, he walked to his fridge to get some milk, only to realize that it was completely empty. He had forgotten to go grocery shopping again. It was only then he really saw himself for who he was. A lazy man who's life was a complete mess and wasn't responsible at all. He didn't used to be like this. But ever since his wife left him, he changed. He knew, that he needed to get his act together. Of course, he knew he couldn't suddenly change his lifestyle at once, but he could start with little things. Like for example, going grocery shopping. Since he was just about to make some coffee, he decided to go buy himself some milk. So he drove to the store. But when he got there, there was so many snacks like chips and chocolate that he was tempted to buy. Yet, he walked passed the tempting snacks, knowing that he should take care of his health more, and went straight to the dairy section and grabbed the milk and came home and placed it in the fridge. Proudly, he nodded in victory as he knew, for the first time since his wife left, he had done something responsible. Yes, it was only milk, but this was the start of a new chapter for Bob. This was the day his life changed forever. From this story, we now know so much about Bob, although the story was literally just about a man going to buy some milk. That's the beauty of character-driven stories. Such simple plots can turn into a great story, because each of his action reveals something about Bob. Why did he spend all night working on a project? Why didn't he start earlier? Why didn't he just forget about it? And why didn't he just go back to bed and forget about his job? Why was he suddenly motivated to buy milk, and why did he refuse to buy snacks instead? All of these question should point back to the character, Bob, rather than the plot. But I guess you could say that this is a very character-driven story with not much plot. I think that even if their was a lot more to this story, it should in some way help the character to develop. For example, what if his car broke down on the way to the store? Would Bob just give up and go back, or continue to persevere and walk all the way to the store and reach his goal? And what if the store was all out of milk? Would he go back and forget about it, or would he be resilient and go to another store and look for milk there? The point is, the plot should not only move the story forward, but also reveal something about the character. Also, a way to tie in the plot with the character's inner conflict is to ask, 'Why does this matter to my character?' Bob is on his way to buy milk, when his car breaks down. Yeah, it's bad because no one wants this to happen to their car, but why is this specifically important for Bob? Because he believes that if he can't accomplish a simple task without breaking something, how on earth is he going to deal with big things? He starts to tell himself that he's an idiot that can't do anything and become depressed. that's how you make a simple sentence into a complex story.

[@timothycrash4158]

@@formulaic78 Except with Die Hard, the reason you like the plot is because of the character. Imagine if, instead of a grizzled New York cop, it was an ex Navy Seal, who could dispatch terrorists with ease, and wasn't such an underdog. McLean's character is extremely important for tension. He's not in great shape, he's not a super soldier, he talks like a working class guy, smokes, his wife's more ambitious than him. He's out of his element both in the limo to the party, around his wife, at the party with the wealthy folks, and then totally out of his element with the terrorists. Even the terrorists are in $5000 suits, giving them more in common with the partygoers than McLean. Everything about his character makes that story. Right down to the tension between him and the FBI guys vs. him and the kinship he has with the street cop outside. That movie could have easily been a forgettable straight to video action movie - but his character, that constant contrast with his surroundings, and the allies he creates because of that working-class character are what drive the tension / emotion.

Don't you know who is my father?" *Luke Skypewalker:* "I know who is - is Obi Wan who is your father." *Dark Vader:* "No Luke. You is my father!" *Luke Skypewalker:* "Whu?!" *Audience:* 😵 As can see in example, classic twist has 9 point model: 1. back-up 2. set-up 3. question 4. certainty 5. denial 6. reverse 7. reveal 8. whu? 9. confuse.

[@huckwalton2307]

After years of tweaking my screen play structures, I have distilled my process into 3 methodologies depending on what I’m writing. If I’m doing an episodic, I use Dan’s story circle. If I’m right a feature, I use Blake Snyder’s save the cat. If I’m writing in epic, then I use Joseph Campbell’s heroes journey. I think it’s important to discover your own system for writing, but I think these three methods best distill the types of density in storytelling. Regardless of the type of storyteller you are, understanding structure simply arms you with information which is never wrong. If you are someone who writes with your gut and not with a roadmap, simply use these structures as guideposts for when something isn’t working. It’s a wonderful tool to be able to realize something is wrong in your script, and look at the structure points for reasons why that might be.

[@gabrielmargolies9154]

While most of the best films follow traditional story structures, I really like when films move away and try something new. My favorite example is Memento, and as there are some spoilers in this comment, here's a SPOILER WARNING. Anyway, Memento actually follows a sort of traditional story and character arc, except it is the audience instead who is the character. We are the ones who start from a position of comfort, enter the unknown, gain information as the film goes on, and eventually have our world changed entirely when we learn that we were lied to the entire time. It's almost like our understanding of the story undergoes the arc usually undergone by the protagonist, and it's brilliant.

Great video and suggestions. One technique I used to finish a short film I was writing was after outlining the story, I then wrote out the first draft with scene headings which included loglines for each scene. For me, and the way my brain works, this helped me finally work out the structure to my story through this approach. As you pointed out, there are many books on screenwriting, all suggesting various techniques. I found "The Nutshell Technique" by Jill Chamberlain to be also very helpful. In the end, I think that whatever technique you start out with, in the end it has to make sense to you. Despite the variation in techniques, all of these books share the same need for basic information to drive the story. Like religions, they all share the same basic tenets, it's how to "get there" that varies between them. I do think this 8 point circle system is also very helpful. But, it may take trying other techniques before the 8-point circle makes sense. Just my two sense...er...cents.
