This channel has been an absolute wealth of knowledge. Idk if everyone realizes how much of a gift it is to get all of these different perspectives on writing for no cost. Please don't change this formula lol.
@Film Courage it's like university for screenplay. I have a playlist made just for screen writing. It's jam packed with your videos. You ask all the questions that I'd want to ask these people myself. It's like you read my mind. I'm sure the majority of us think that. Do you think you will ever get interviews with the juggernauts of that world? Like Quentin, James Cameron etc... I think we would probably learn more from the people you talk to already. But it would be interesting to hear what these star film makers would say in response to the basic questions. Like structure, character building etc.
Sting says if he isn't surprised by a song within eight seconds, he's done. I think this is comparable to the 15 minute squirm the lady at the end mentions. This is a priceless compilation. I'll be listening to this one several times.
All the varying perspectives on storytelling and character development made me rethink things alot. I'm creating animated shorts so the bits at the end really helped in terms of telling a concise short story that's engaging. Listened to the whole video while animating. Hadn't thought of how valuable silent film is til now. Immensely helpful and motivating. This is why I'm subscribed with notifications on. Thank you.
This is brilliant, thank you so much, I am overwhelmed by the amount of the information here that I really don't know what to do with it, I only remember the old advice "there are many methods of writing out there, find the one that works best for you", all the methods work.
We are thinking of creating a similar platform for our local film makers here in Africa and I wish I can be as a fraction of how unbelievably wealthy this channel has been for us.
What I would LOVE to see is ONE movie broken down one by one using each of these structures…whether by ‘beat’ or by breaking out the sequences or sections the structures use😀. The one I’d really love to see tracked through a single movie the most would be Mr. Edson’s hero goal sequence model. Absent that, this is about as close to a “live spreadsheet” to compare structures against each other (done for you) as I think can be found. It’s a great starting point for exactly that. I figure that the common elements across many multiple forms of structure are maintained across the different structures for a reason. I really want to pull those down and figure which are best for the story I want to tell. I’ve gotten a lot out of the screenplay approach to telling story even though my project is to write a novel. Thanks so much for this. Update: I just found Eric Edson’s webpage where he is offering the very thing I asked 😂😂. He does Back To The Future, Bridesmaids and Finfing Nemo and gives the sequences for each. Free pdf. Pdf to first pages of book. Link to book. Should really illuminate the approach for anyone interested.
LOVE these assembles you make, I’ve watched all of them many times. Being able to access to all this knowledge and talented people from Uruguay is undoubtedly a gift. Thank you!
@@filmcourage If I ever get the courage to publish my novels, a LOT of it will be thanks to the work you’ve done to help us writers from over the world to educate ourselves in the zillion of things there is to learn about the craft. Thanks for the reply and love the flag jaja ❤️
Olie and Camilla, i really enjoy learning sooo much about Catalan architecture through your very genuine authentic glance, its very refreshing and inspiring!…specially having been sorrounded with it all my life… to see it all anew with you and your parents thank you❤
Nice to see all these different approaches posted in one place. Study them all, but then pick the approach that you feel most comfortable with when writing your first few screenplays. There's a few here I'm not familiar with. I went to Writer's Boot Camp and Jeff Gordon has another method too. I'll have to watch this later because I just got notes back from the producer who optioned my script . . . hooray! More work!
The short film discussion was exactly what I needed to hear. All of it was filled with gold though but listening at work I couldn't focus as much as I like.
When I was in my first year of college I worked at the arcade in Sherman Oaks Galleria. The arcade got the Star Wars game and there was a part in the game where Obi Won would say, "use the force Luke". After playing the game several times I realized that if I didn't shoot back as I was being fired upon, and simply evaded the attacks, I would get closer to the death star's vulnerable area to destroy the death star with one attack. I felt that "use the force", meant do not fight with fire. Fight with your third eye. Your inner peace
Something I’d be really curious about is if any film makers have opinions on the kishotenketsu story structure. It’s one of the most common structure used in East Asian cinema (like parasite). But there isn’t a ton information from which to learn about it.
@@Abhi-lj7xp its absolutely useful. Plenty of beloved stories from the east are written in this structure simply because its standard practice over there. There are tons and tons of ways to write stories so it's just a matter of what you think best fits what story you're trying to tell.
Fantastic content, as always. It’s really a gift that we’re able to get this information for free. I just wanted to ask if it would be possible in the future to have this subject developed with writers who specialise in story arch that differs from the hero’s journey?
John Truby has a 21 sequence to story structure that I find soo helpful but unfortunately you didn’t highlight, anyway good job 👏 the once available are also stunning
totally. I've written most of my novels from a tweaked Save The Cat or a tweaked The Hero's Journey template. Novels are a bit more forgiving than screenplays, is the main difference. You don't have to hit a specific point at 75% of the way through. In a novel, might be 70% and might be 89%, and it still works. You can put in a few more scenes here and there. But the basic structure? yes.
I have a book that merges all these structure combinations into a single method that is not technical and easy to manage. If you are in LA and visit Idyllwild bring me your script.

I know everyone practices the same beat method, but its so predictable. I find that I can guess the outcome in movies where it’s ruining it for me. I like a writer who marches to a different drum beat and surprises me.
Hey FC! I remember in one of your videos, one of the interviewees told a very important tip; one of the best ones I heard on this channel and maybe ever. It said: "you have to think of what thee story is about, what it's supposed to be about, and what it's actually about". Do you know who said it? I can't seem to recall. Ps. haven't seen this video so I'm not sure if it's included.
My mehtod of story is that I first ask and answer two questions, "What is the problem?" and "What is the resolution?" then build from there: here is a 3 minute video I created that explains my method: ua-cam.com/video/j84rDuXwxP0/v-deo.html
Wow. I keep finding these videos and feeling absolutely amazed and grateful. This has been very helpful and I feel like I am learning alot from you guys, thanks again @filmcourage

This particular video is worth it.
The best channel for screenwriters, imo. I love the information.
My goodness all this beautiful knowledge

How was this video helpful to you?
💚The in-depth passion with details and descriptions of screenwriting each scene…🍿 Thank you!!! 😊
Well they say a writer needs to hang around other writers. Well this is that
All the varying perspectives on storytelling and character development made me rethink things alot. I'm creating animated shorts so the bits at the end really helped in terms of telling a concise short story that's engaging.
Listened to the whole video while animating. Hadn't thought of how valuable silent film is til now.
Immensely helpful and motivating.

John Truby has a 21 sequence to story structure that I find soo helpful but unfortunately you didn’t highlight, anyway good job 👏 the once available are also stunning
31:25 to 31:50 every script ever written by Rian Johnson
I use storymap/4 act structure. But the trick when using any structure is to not to be predictable
Do these rules apply to novel writing? Can they be made to?
Ten Page Rule works for novels too. 20 (or so) chapters divided up into 10 page sequences.
