I am a aspiring writer,
And I am learning a lot from your videos
Can we talk anywhere else?
@@mkwrites1094 Sure, you can write to me here: scriptwritingtips2@gmail.com Looking forward to hearing from you!
@@mkwrites1094 Thank you! I'm happy to help!
Thanks
Its 2024 and its still relevant and helpful..Thanks a ton..
And Im using this for my very first Novel😇
The hardest and most craftwork act in storytelling, while Act 1 can go to a lot of places that seem out of nowhere, it can be more excused as it's setting the record straight on what the story is, and Act 3 can offer the satisfactory relief, but Act 2 is the bridge that holds it all together, and the Act that can easily get the most carried with.
Something I've learned about ACT II is this; in every movie or TV show at the second act break is a moment where one character will basically tell the other I'm sick of you and you need to wake up. Not in those exact words but in some kind of way. It's a conflict that always happens.
Any examples of this in movies?
I honestly cannot thank you enough. I have been struggling with the second half of Act 2 for a good three years now on my first novel. Every time I think I have it, it alludes me. So, I will restate a comment I read on another channel: "How can I say 'Thank you' in all the languages of the world? Sincerely.
This is exactly the reason I started this channel. Thank you so much for your comment, you make me really happy!
If you have any requests for another video, just drop me the idea! :)
@@ScriptwritingTips i just wanted to thank you as well. i am writing my first feature screenplay and was totally stuck on Act 2. This totally saved me. Thank you!
thanks for the big help. I really had trouble writing act 2 but now it feels better!
I’m writing my film using your help from all your videos thank you :)
That's great, glad to read this! Keep up! :D
A very useful video; thanks!
love this, very Clear.
Briiliant - thank you!
So great... Thank you tremendously
Thank you!
Ive noticed you have different levels of awareness in your story. The audience knows things. The character knows things and supporting characters know things. Utilize those levels in interesting ways. Also, thwart expectations within a scene. These can be small moments, or big moments.
That's right! I couldn't agree more!
Great tips. Based on the movie I saw and like;ACT 1,the heroes try to make the bad guy give up the stones so they can bring back their friends. ACT 2,the heroes figured out the way to get the stones by going back through time. The bad guy had messed it up and trying to get the stones from them. ACT 3,the bad guy is defeated. That pretty much explained how to write a movie.
Very happy to help in your script writing journey!
@@ScriptwritingTips thank you very much.
Nicely explained. Thank you
Thank you! :-)
Great work. Keep it up
Happy you like it!
superb thank u
The conflict and challenges have to escalate. At the height of the obstacles the protagonist has to face a fork in the road. If he keeps going something bad will happen, but if he doesn't keep going his inner and outer goal will not be resolved, so he keeps going and takes big risk. ...
That's right, very good!
I didn't know that's what Speed was about
please expline act 3
Sorry for the late reply but I was busy with a TV project. I'll try to do that soon.
@@ScriptwritingTips THENK YOU
Pretty cool, but I want to create a original thing on Mystery. I get confused with these examples.
I'm sorry that you get confused. I don't understand what you're actually asking here.
