I learned that when we as writers elicit emotion, when we care for our characters, our readers, audience has a chance of caring and this is why, we stay to root for the hero, to see what happens. We , the audience, become invested in the hero's conflict being resolved and learn something from it in the process. Thanks, Michael sir, for this gift.
I'm enjoying the series, but personally I must say that the most emotional moments for me, are not those in which conflict is heightened but when a character makes a selfless choice to help somebody else. The bigger the sacrifice and the more hopeless is the recipient (he or she who benefits from the sacrifice) the more emotional the moment becomes.
I never really thought of using the turning point as a way for the audience to relate to the character! I think this will absolutely help me going forward when coming up with ideas for the perfect 1st turning point! Thank you film courage, you all are changing lives!
Plot point 2 is crucial where we know the goal. Protagonists fall and rise and finally reach the goal. More obstacles/stakes will root the audience for the characters.
#1 have a desire to give the characters direction to move #2 have a conflict to get emotions (by make characters wanting the same desire so they moves in conflict )
Great channel, but there is a question I didn't find an answer to it. Do the non-English speaker and non US citizen have a chance to enter the industry, specially in Hollywood?
Here is a film on the subject. I don't know where you could get a hold of a copy but it looks like it might answer some of your questions. www.imdb.com/title/tt2061684/
these guys are quacks who make things complicated in order to keep writers in a panic. These gurus try to turn creativity into a shit storm of formulaic crap. I still listen to them though haha
He is the author of "Writing Screenplays that Sell". I think he says in his book that you can break the rules and do things differently and be artsy, but you're probably never going to sell your screenplay. Hollywood WANTS formulaic.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Excellent comment.
A good example is when Butch decides to help Marsellus in Pulp Fiction a great moment in my opinion.

this man reffed Hitch which is how you know he's the real deal
does a script have to have a goal?
Yes. Always. 100% no exceptions.
really ?? Putting the words "Bad guys" instead of "Terrorist" in CC , just because he referces to americans !

Quite the contrary, he simplifies the writing.
Says the guy who asked “does a script have to have a goal?”
There is something to "art for art's sake", but it's hard to deny a formula that has resonated with humans for centuries.
Lol
