    Basics of Sequences
    Length
    smaller units to make a whole,13-15 pages per,major points separate sequences but not every sequence
    Ownership
    objectives must always be present,it maybe dedicated to main or villain or in chucks for others characters to shine
    Tension
    each has its own tension,it should be clear,great reversals are useful or when it is expected things will go right make them worse,caring for character is what makes the tension more relevant,physical or emotional manifestation,ends with a transition to another tension
    Framework
    Setup/Goals,Obstacles and resolution

    Very informative I enjoyed it. Thank you for posting. I would note that some of the words posted next to the actor aren't related to what he's talking about at that moment and it can be distracting to read the words while listening to a story about something else. Great modern examples.

    I'm happy to see not even 3,000 views. That means, of the millions trying to make it as screenwriters, I am studying harder than almost all of them. :) - AB

      They're probably off writing somewhere whilst we are on TH-cam.

    I have a curious question about the part when action/sci-fi can have three sequences (including the epic/period part as well).
    If you can have three sequences on the first act, will it still consider to be 8 sequences or 9? Thanks!
    P.S. These videos are a whole lot of help. Thank you so much for this.

    Do you suggest having sequences in TV (pilot) scripts too, or only film?

    • @professorderoteiro
      @professorderoteiro 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sequences are in every film or tv series episode. For one reason: people like big emotions. So the greater the conflict length the better. Have a lot of little scenes or a lot of montage/exposition it's very danger. Suicide Squad had this problem, in mine opinion.
      Also, sequences cost less. It's better to make a big sequence in one location than travel and do 4 scenes in 4 locations. Some people say that a sequence can exist in a lot of locations. That's true but it's more expensive.
      TV episodes, most of the time, will have one big sequence (only one). Or two. Take for instance some episodes you like and ask yourself: what sequences it has and where they appear.
      Most of the time a big sequence will show up in the end of the episode. Sometimes in the beginner. It depends.

    Should I specify when one sequence ends and another begins? If so, how could I do this?

    Some good points here, shame the video is cluttered with typos though. I hope you get someone to proof read your scripts. ;)
