Summary Notes:-
Q1) What is the want of your character? What is their goal / what are they trying to get to?
Q2) What are the stakes? (what happens if this character does NOT get what he/she wants, what happens if he/she DOES get what they want?) There are the external stakes and the philosophical stakes (what will they BELIEVE about the world if they achieve/don't achieve their goal).
I love how your channel is always focused on script+story. People keep making movies that fail to emphasize why what we’re seeing onscreen matters. You’re actively part of the solution 👏

Tyler, the value we get out of each video is just insane. Thanks always for making these available to everybody. I wish you all the very best and the success of all your endeavors!
"Casablanca" is a clear and simply structured example of this technique.
Dang dude, your charisma and showmanship on camera has improved SO MUCH over the past few years! I'm rooting for you man, keep getting successful!
I have spent so long trying to get my head around this and this one 10 minute video helped me so much. Thank you Tyler, this is super helpful.
I feel like we maybe should care about the philosophical stakes more, but I feel Taken or many heists movies are examples where we actually care about the external stakes way more.
Thank you for helping me to see the mind map of how story can work with the different parts (story structure) that you learn about, but feel as if you're painting by numbers, rather than truly being able to express what you want. I can actually put together the different parts and explain how they are connected in different ways. In other words, I can construct my own paradigm, based on what I have learned in your videos, along with some others, but mostly yours.
I love these videos so much, thank you man!
Thanks for the video Tyler! More great and practical advice, hope to see more videos like this! 🤞
amazing video! currently listening to this while writing a treatment and it def helps!
You sir, deserve much more attention than you have right now, ive been watching your videos for a long time and I realize I'm not even subscribed (super embarrassed😂) so imma do my part now and I hope your channel grows a lot more, you really deserve it my friend. 😎👍
Thank you for the sound basis and approach, its always easy to get distracted and lost in the process, so appreciate the great reminders and recommendations.
Also, I've been missing your content, UA-cam continues to not update me :(
Subscribe.
@@UltimateKyuubiFox I already am…do you have no idea what UA-cam has been doing to creator’s content and not providing subscribers notifications?
@@dear_totheheart I just look at my subscription page every day.
@@UltimateKyuubiFox wow you genius…
UA-cam no longer works that way, half the notifications for people I sub to no longer come through and don’t show on my sub page either, only more of the same of recent videos I’ve viewed. The site is broken
I disagree... You can have something you want to SAY drive the story and have it run completely counter to anything the character wants or doesn't want. So starting with what needs to be said in a chapter or a story arc is another alternative. I say that cuz it is important to not cram your character with overly simplified drives, or they will be more one dimensional because of it.
No one's wants are constant in life btw, urges maybe, but what people want is changed by the context
Just my opinion on it
all opinions matter
💪You're an Awesome teacher Tyler.
thanks for the video Tyler!
Really important question! Is it nessecary so show the ausience WHY the characters hold the beleifs that they hold?
Do you still do lifestreams? If not, then do them again!

Thank you Anton.
Thanks 👍👌
Great video
does it work with a cast of protagonists? cause their is many I'm trying to figure out. Like their this character, wants to retire of being a detective they going to group meeting because they been through a lot including traumatize as their time as a detective but some event happening have to force this character come out of retirement to help but they still don't want to be a detective anymore.
So, Walter White's sort of an interesting example of how a character can claim to want something and even partly believe this claim but at the end of the day, they want something different.
Initially, Walt CLAIMS that he's cooking meth to provide money for his beloved family so they can be financially stable after he dies, and I don't doubt Walter did believe this in the beginning. But as the show goes on, you slowly see that no, he really wants the power, the control, to be alive, all the stuff Tyler said.
That's a really good layered character.
I have a story brewing with ideas. I sadly do not have an artist :(
Make a why you should study Disney
And why you should study Star Wars !!!!!
Oh boy.
Re Breaking Bad: I thought its philosophical theme was - Do the ends justify the means? He wants to leave something behind for his family but at what cost? He loses himself and almost becomes another Michael Corleone. But ultimately his intention was good (to provide for his family) he just realised that the skills he had could only really be used for one thing. It also shows that even a moral, decent person can transform into a criminal. And asks the question that when there are no consequences left and we know we are going to die soon will we all do what Walter did? I mean are we only moral law abiding people because we fear getting caught?
Does anyone here know of any legit youtube channels who break down movies and or scenes and points out formulas like Tyler has done here?
This isn't my industry at all, but I am fascinated by this process. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
I mean, Lessons from the Screenplay did a 5-act breakdown of the Avengers, as well as for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher), Whiplash, Black Swan, And the scene triangle breakdown of scenes from Gone Girl.
@@TomEyeTheSFMguy Thank you, will def look into them!
For a story to work would you need both philosophical and external stakes or could your story work with only one out of two of the steaks in the story?
I think yes, that’s what will bring the viewer to engage with your story. It will be much more clearer and meaningful
In your case, yes you would need it. That's because internal and external conflict both come from philosophical content. ( as said in his the purpose of conflicts video ) So without philosophical stakes there would be no external stakes. And even if you somehow wiggled in external stakes ( conflict ) without any philosophical which is basically impossible. ( Its basically impossible because conflict is a fight between to ideologies. Ex. Let's say someone steals an old ladys purse, then you Butt in and try to get it back. Two ideologies clashing against each other, stealing is ok and stealing is bad. Which includes internal conflict and stakes by their ideologies and how they feel about this situation their in and external conflict and stakes but yu running after them resulting in a chase. ) But if you SOMEHOW wiggle no phisophical stakes in the story would have no meaning behind it, no message, no reason. While, some storys can do this, they will still make you feel empty after you finish watching/ reading this story. You'll just feel like this was pointless and a waste of your time. So for a story to work you WOULD need both philosophical and external stakes but you don't have to.
✌✌✌✌
a question: Is the Philosophical conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist is not of opposite but only a sacrifice away? example: like in snow piercer , Wilson agrees on the sacrifice of few for the humanity to survive. our Hero sacrifices his friends only to reach wilson and his world view and is unsure when he is offered wilsons post.
I can't take my eyes off from u❤. U r so handsome I m sorry😢😮😅
first
frickin actually got it this time
@@MrBloop9 You're that guy
The kinda guy who sees a video posted several seconds ago, immediately goes to the comments section, then panicked and can’t think of something interesting to say… yes. Great content btw, love it
those were some bad movie choices
Your opinion. They're still movies that worked as examples.
First, but don't wanna be that guy
You were second after big Jacob so you're not that guy.
Only one of us can be obnoxious
U have become what u swore to destroy.
Tyler has no references he is a newbie and tries you to sell his own course. It is a making money strategy and you will learn crap from him. It works like a placebo you think you making progress but really you only learn techniques which are not worth to learn and also brings you up from learning your own style of creating new ideas and stories. He only made 1 script, he has not won any Filmfestival/Oscar etc. It is the same for most of the courses. You do not need any paid courses to get good in writing. Do not listen to this bullshit!!!
You offer no solution. Do better.
