you are wrong. The central focus of the story is her strength.

Great recap and nice conversation

Judgmental BS! I am appalled at you judging first Joe. then Billy. Money was NOT THE ORIGINAL OBJECTIVE. Joe's climactic push-away of Betty is defeat, not triumph. *Insight please!*

Heres my short film idea: A fish but the fish explodes Thats it

U look like Dean Dobbs!

Cute twink

Topic: Plot twists. How to write an effective plot twist and the difference between a lukewarm plot twist and a mind blowing twist. If there's time, the different type of plot twists could be explored as well.

Try this: make a single, static image that sums up the entire story then storyboard an explanation of that image. Good luck!

Where is the free course?

Thanks for such a clear and well thought explanation on short films.

Cool

Topic: How to write/ crack the noir-crime movie genre? What makes a good crime movie?

I think I agree with Adam's inciting incident requires the exit visas. Ugarte is there to meet Victor. Victor shows up to pick them up. It made me wonder if the murder of the Couriers were part of the plot to get Victor out. I can see why Alexie and John see it being Ilsa's arrival... But Adam is right. It does move the story forward.

topic: is outlining important? thanks.

Thank you, both! Do you have an example of an Outline that you use? Would you mind sharing the Outline? Thanks, Bruce

i don't even do anything close to this in life... got recommended, listened, banging.

Main character(s) MUST be the ones to solve the conflict, WITH their new found knowledge and character development…for the story to feel satisfactory Great video! I'm subscribing!

Love me some external hindrance for (against) the protagonist (bad luck, coincidence), there a name for that?

Interesting to think of the Betty Schaefer as not being a love interest for Joe, but rather a real friend and mentor-like. Also, to have it mentioned that the relationship with Artie and Betty "muddies the water," except perhaps that it suggests a lack of character on the part of Joe who would move so quickly on a gal his friend was deeply after. I rue the film which might have been had Montgomery Clift accepted the role. Good as Bill Holden looked in the vicuna coat, there are aspects of Joe's seamy side which get rather glided over, perhaps because those traits were not ones he wanted associated with himself too closely as a working Hollywood actor. Clift's specialty was duality and dark undertones. He would have been marvelous and the performance by him that I imagine would have enriched the film with a deeper characterization and better balance. Check him out in "A Place in the Sun" and "The Heiress."

real less characters means lesser budget. lesser pages. and lesser problems

Really great stuff! Not a fan of video shot with a phone.

It: 6 mid schoolers are forced to band together and survive a terrorizing demonic clown that preys on children every 27 years for 27 days, or become soul food for It!

Wtf this isn't a math video, lame

Love these gold nuggets Adam. Keep em coming!

These videos are fantastic man!

Like! Like! Like!

Really helpful, thank you!

It would be gr8 if u allow the RUclips to have autogenerated subtitles. Because there r many people like me from India. My native language is hindi ...and English is our secondary language. Hope u understand.

My 7th grade English teacher taught me a structure I'll never forget: Somebody, Wanted, But, So Thank you Mrs. Bumbrey

Thanks for sharing! Helpful video and guide, I like your logline examples

i thought the title said 3 Reasons Lonlines sucks 😐

This lesson was exceptionally informative and engaging. Can't wait to implement! Thank you @YoungScreenwriters!

Thank you for the video.

after credit scene where we discover cap really did say all that about the bald woman

Harry Potter?

dang this is good!

Oh. I was thinking a different kind of log line. Carry on, then. XD

I bet this is in response to ALIEN:Romulus.

Great content

Great video , thank you

❤❤ amazing reminders

A different way to formulate this I've heard is the following, which I find very good for beginners: "When/After [Inciting Incident], a [Protagonist] must [Objective] before [Stakes/Ticking Clock]." This is a great first skeleton for almost any logline, and from something like this, you can easily put everything together, and then spice it up and make it more interesting. It's funny because it's basically exactly how Spirited Away's logline was presented as well.

What I love about the 'GOT' opening is that not only the WW are introduced right from the get go, but also the talking characters are from different classes. It establishes the political/classist struggle of the show, as well as the over-arching supernatural threat.

I like this formula.

Great video Adam! I have learnt so much from the lovely folk at YS over the years. More like this please! 👏

Great stuff man!

👍👍👍

One thing I've learnt about exposition is that sometimes telling instead of showing is the better option. Do whatever best serves the story.

Thanks! 🎉
