Screenwriting Masterclass | Grease The Story Engine

It's impossible to tell what makes a film or tv show work. But sometimes it's clear when something is missing. In this class, we're going over six essential components or qualities you'll find in almost every successful screen story.
Character is not part of these, because it's self-evident. Far more important is the question: what to do with Character? And HOW does (a) Character become critical in a story?
At the heart of the story engine, you'll find two story elements that are repeatable: EVENTS and ACTIONS. To understand these better, be sure to check out our other classes, in particular the ones on story structure and Fractal Structure.
Once you've seen the class, it's easy to remember all six elements using the acronym G-R-E-A-S-E. So watch this class, and grease your own story engine using this method!

You're the only channel that feels like being in a screen writing workshop where you take your time to explain and share your knowledge and experience in contrast to those 10 minute quick fast paced videos out there. Please keep it up, more power to you sir! Please do a session on Themes. I struggle with it because that approach feels preachy and superficial.

[@TheStoryDepartment]

Thank you! I'd love to discuss Theme. Just find the time to record it! Meanwhile, have you checked out the Immersion courses? They're the real gold!!! ;) scriptwriting.courses
