      It would be great if you did a video on how to add more beats to a scene. Some define a beat as a turning point. I like Robert McKee's notion of a beat being the smallest unit of story telling. You kind of touched on it when you spoke about roller coaster scenes. I often get stuck in that I don't know how to extend scenes without it being really boring.
      It would also be great if you could do a video tone. It's so hard to keep the tone consistent and loud throughout. Also deciding on what the tone should be is also a headache.

      Thanks for the comment! That always encourages me to make more:)
      Yes, I give away all my info instead of selling it. For you!

    That end scene from Grease is one of my favourites. Perfect resolution!

    It would have taken a life time to figure all this out. Amazing. Thanks for demystifying so many cliché buzz words with true applicable meaning.

    Agreed. Without both external and internal resolutions, my stories don't feel complete. Thank you.

    This is a lifetime lesson for me. How to craft resolution without crossing the Premise of your film is hard to many screenwriters. Ending is harder than beginning.
    Thank you so much !

    Great advice, I was lucky enough to do that in my current screenplay. But after watching this video, I will check it again.

    brilliant! a great ending or finale is what resonates most with the audience. You ought to cover Sunset Blvd. - still relevant, still rings true.

  • @tablesbuster8248
    @tablesbuster8248 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That was a really practical lesson. Thank you. I can run with that. Your videos are all brilliant. So clearly explained and in an interesting way.

    Great information as always. As a film watcher though I'm bored with relationships and want to see a film set away from earth where they aren't out to get us

    Thanks, WD! Brilliantly luminous information and presentation as always. Yes, one really needs to understand humans to be a good writer. I think the very final scene after the climax could also be called, "the cuddle"

    Word dancer, I've Loved all your content so far. But you took it to another level for me by kicking things off with Rocky, my favorite film! Thank you for the continued advice, and keep the videos coming.

      I wonder: if the story is a tragedy, what advice would you give for that resolution?

    • @worddancer-howtowriteascre9144
      @worddancer-howtowriteascre9144  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on the needs of your story, but in general, I would mix in a touch of hope on some level so it isn't completely depressing. Like Titanic.

    A very good one, I really did not pay attention to the anatomy of the resolution.
    That has to be understood very well.
