A brief introduction to who I am, what you'll be learning on this course and how you'll be able to apply that to further develop your story.
Getting to grips with who you are, your protagonist is, and therefore what you should focus on in developing your screenplay
A quick look at some common screenplay problems you may well be facing. Plus, a warning of how not to use the lessons you'll be learning.
Don't be scared! Science is simply about predicting how the world works, and that's all I talk about here. How do predictions develop and change over decades and centuries? An important starting point for understanding people...
If this is hard to follow, stick with it, then maybe revisit it after finishing the section. It's really just about predictions for the world becoming grander theories that are harder to relinquish, so how they protect themselves from having to change.
How does a model for scientific change help us with character change? First, think about our basic senses and perception of the world. Then, how people's modus operandi for living in the world come about. Then ask yourself - how do people change these mindsets? An important first step is to ask how they refuse to change...
A brief look at some recent stellar films will make all of this clear.
Bringing it all together in one simple model, step by step. Don't worry if the model isn't making complete sense yet, as we work through Finding Nemo it will be explained further and become radically clear.
The first step is the most important ingredient: misjudgement...
What was the genesis of Finding Nemo? How much work did it take? Was it worth it?
