It's called 'the MOVIES'. So keep things moving! But don't just show characters walking, running, driving because they have to go from A to B. To create mythical stories, all trips must be thresholds. The character doesn't just move in geographical space. They 'move on', move forward, choose a new direction, and 'get unstuck'. Scenes or sequences of movement are most powerful when they signify a threshold; when we enter a new phase of the story. Any other travel will be an expensive series of shots that likely ends in the 'deleted' bin. #storytelling #screenwriting #screenplay #herosjourney #myth #scriptwriting #indiefilm #filmmaking #amwriting #writing #creativewriting #character #structure #courses #writingcourse
