In this Film Courage video interview, Speaker/Story/Career Consultant, Author Jen Grisanti shares how a main character's wound and flaw are interconnected. Starting with the flaw in a story allows curiosity about the character's wound, leading to a fuller understanding by the climax. The wound is what happens to the character, creating a void, while the flaw is how it manifests through destructive behavior. Recognizing the transformative nature of storytelling, like falling in love, is essential. Bad experiences serve a greater purpose by linking to the healing of earlier wounds and overall growth.
International speaker Jen Grisanti is an acclaimed Story/Career Consultant at Jen Grisanti Inc., a 13-year Writing Instructor for Writers on the Verge at NBC, and a former 12-year studio executive, including VP of Current Programming at CBS/Paramount. Jen is the author of three books, Story Line: Finding Gold in Your Life Story, TV Writing Tool Kit: How To Write a Script That Sells, Change Your Story, Change Your Life: A Path To Your Success.
Grisanti started her career in 1992 as an assistant to Aaron Spelling. He served as her mentor for 12 years. She quickly climbed the ranks and eventually ran Current Programs at Spelling Television Inc., covering all Spelling’s shows, including Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place, and Charmed. In 2004, Grisanti was promoted to Vice President of Current Programs at CBS/Paramount, where she covered numerous shows, including Medium, Numbers, NCIS, 4400, and Girlfriends.
In January 2008, Grisanti launched Jen Grisanti Inc., a highly successful consulting firm dedicated to helping talented writers break into the industry. Drawing on her experience as a studio executive, where she gave daily notes to executive producers/showrunners, Grisanti guides writers to shape their material, write from their emotional truth, hone their pitches, and focus their careers.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv

What are your thoughts on this video?
@@that_guy_v Thank you!
Life doesn’t happen in dramatic structure:) love this ✨✨✨
I am always crying watching your videos.
What do you mean?
@filmcourage your videos inspire me. When I write, I realize perfect characters are boring. And that meaningful stories are about characters having problems.
I really needed this advice. I currently can't move forward with the story I would like to write because I've realized I didn't know what my protagonist wanted. I had an idea of what it could be but I couldn't define it well. I've realized that I've been placing focus on concepts and idea, rather than the actual goal.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In my writing, use them like: the wound is *why* the character does what they do; the flaw is *how* they do what they do (or how the wound negatively manifests).
I don't know if they is right, but it's an easy cheat sheet for me.
This was so good, I had the greatest learning time
"Life doesn't happen in dramatic structure" ❤
Love when people watch all the way to the end!
Great dialogue! I always enjoy Jen Grisanti's insights on storytelling.
Glad you enjoyed it! We always love hearing Jen's take as well. Thank you for watching.
Jen is brilliantly inspiring
My favorite interviewee by far! Jen Grisanti is absolutely brilliant.
I really like her though.
I hope can see her more ~
When she talk about wound and flaws is very clear.
And I search her name,I find out her interview in this channel (6 years ago) is one of my favorite videos 😲(OMG I follow this channel have a long time😂)
Jen is always inspiring.
Great insights! I need to give my characters wounds and goals. Sick.
Amazing interview ❤
the * WOUND * is what happens to the character to create the * VOID *
Weakness always opposite strength.
Jurassic Park's Alan Grant's strenght is dead, ancient animals in a desert setting. Weakness: Living, young humans in a jungle setting.
1.act: Thesis: Guided by strenght.
2.act: Anti-thesis: Has to try weakness.
3.act: Synthesis: A mix makes success.
Conquering both sides makes characters 100% strong, including their weak side.
From reading other ppl's scripts (when I used to), I felt that was a problem. They would always have a character(s) be correlated to themselves. It makes for poor character development and limits the storyline.
