I'm guessing you don't read Norwegian? (And do you work with novelists, or only screen writers?)

[@Vivivofi]

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!

Well he made video where he wrote one in 48 hours

@@zechelliott0 guys guys- the 48 one was great and all- but i mean one without any time restrictions, documenting it for as long as it takes to get it to the best standard possible, that would just be so sexyyyyy oh my good god

[@danielrocks2200]

I think this would be awesome. Would probably be super time consuming for him

[@coloraddiction]

@@Vivivofi the down side could be not being able to do anything with it if it goes online first. It might be possible after something comes out, but that's a lot of hours put in for a much later return, if it's contractually allowed

"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!

[@OlgaKuznetsova]

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

[@HakimZziwa]

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.

[@thereccher8746]

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

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.

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

[@Riku_nkmr]

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.

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".

[@dorianmarch5811]

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

[@charlesjacques1960]

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

[@TacoCat17]

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?

[@alabamaslammer3921]

This is a personal opinion but it's definitely possible but it's all about execution. I think the best way to show that one belief is more mature than the other and have the character transition to it in an authentic way is to first give them a reason to have the misbelief. They can start fully engrained in it then start to get doubts as more events, experiences, or characters change their mind. Also if you mean having the other characters having opposing conflicts I believe that can be done well. I'm an amateur so apologies if I'm stating the obvious

Also whats the difference between conflict and philosophical conflict? You keep using that word.

[@raven-sf3di]

​@@someguy752philosophical conflict is normally about - the " method "different characters take to reach an ideal or similar/opposite outcome Conflict is a reaction to a method or belief or a negative reaction to what a character represents, Themes are what we take away from the story Themes don't become clear to the later part of the story That's my take anyways
