In Jurassic park if we assume that the offer of that old man to the archaeologists is call to adventure then as you said they should be accepting the offer right away But in the movie they actually don't.... They are doubtful about it(Monet and bad timing)
Hello! Where do I say that? That they should accept the call right away? No, that's not right. I'm only explaining here the difference between the call and the inciting, I'm not talking about the other plot points. However, I also say that the Call to Adventure is based on Joseph Campbell's model. If you check this model you will see, that after the call is the refusal of the call. I hope now it's more clear.
All of your videos do a great job at explaining structure. I would love to see a video about the OPENING and its importance. A question I have is...can the opening ‘hook’ be an emotional scene which establishes empathy for the protagonist, or does it have to be something exciting, fast paced and action packed?
No, it doesn't "have to be" anything, as long as it works as a "hook". It must be something really interesting to catch the audience's attention. Not necessarily action packed, it could be a mystery or some kind of a question mark. Remember to check if it grabs the audience's attention. You can always ask your friends if they find it intriguing.
Scriptwriting Tips My opening scene is currently very slow paced and emotional. It’s the protagonist’s ‘save the cat’ moment, but there isn’t a mystery element. A man does pass away though. It’s an engaging scene, shows the theme, the protagonist’s humanity, her job and why she’s good at it. In the scene that follows, I show her flaw because I wanted to get the reader on the protagonist’s side before showing why she’s a terrible mother to her daughter. I appreciate all your advice. Thank you!
@@grossbrosparodies9610 Well, I haven't, read the scene to know exactly what to tell you, but the way you describe it, it seems quite a good hook. If you think it's an engaging scene, then you're all good! It's a good and practical thought to show something nice on the protagonist, before you show her flaw.
Nice video In Robert McKee's story book; he says that sometimes the inciting incident is made up of 2 parts The first part is the event that happens And the 2nd part is when the protagonist finds it out or it affect the protagonist Like in the jaws Here the second part is call to adventure Am I right?
Hi, I have read that in the inciting event is where our dramatic question should be set, but I have noticed that many times it is set in the key event and that confuses me, could you give me your opinion about this?
Hello, good question, I'll soon post a video on dramatic question. However, there is NO exact place where you should set the dramatic question, as long as it is in ACT 1, not later. Add it wherever comes naturally for your particular story. Guidelines are here to make our (writing) life easier, not more difficult. :)

Yes, I'll prepare a video about the opening, thank you! :)

Scriptwriting Tips thanks so much. Greatly appreciated.
Nice video
In Robert McKee's story book; he says that sometimes the inciting incident is made up of 2 parts
The first part is the event that happens
And the 2nd part is when the protagonist finds it out or it affect the protagonist
Like in the jaws
Here the second part is call to adventure
Am I right?
Interesting comment! Yes, I believe it is the same thing, in different words.
@@ScriptwritingTips Thanks for replying
