DZ-106: How do you know if you have enough story?
Manage episode 392590270 series 40948
How do you know if you have enough narrative fuel to write a script?
In this episode, Chas, Stu and Mel attempt to answer a listener question:
“In your own pre-writing process, how do you know you have enough for a feature? And do you have a specific pre-writing method you're going to?”
Thus we launch into a discussion on our writing processes and the varying usefulness of tools such as log lines, turning points, beat sheets, synopsis, treatments, and scene breakdowns. We also tackle the challenges encountered while developing an idea to first draft, such as balancing the pace of the story, developing distinct character voices, character choices, plot changes, pacing, and thematic clarity.
Is this backmatter? Or is it development tools? You decide! Hahaha.
Thanks so much to Chris Walker for his excellent editing on this episode!
