- FEATURING:
- Develop a powerful Logline and Title.

- write something that is “the same, only different”: Monster in the
- House, Golden Fleece, Out of the Bottle, Dude with a Problem, Rites of
- Passage, Buddy Love, Whydunit, The Fool Triumphant, Institutionalized,

- Fill in a Blake Snyder Beat Sheet with the 15
- key beats for every screenplay: Opening Image, Theme Stated, Set-up,
- Catalyst, Debate, Break into Two, B Story, Fun and Games, Midpoint, Bad
- Guys Close In, All Is Lost, Dark Night of the Soul, Break into Three,
- Finale, and Final Image
- Use “The Board,” the fabled
- device seen in executive offices all over Hollywood, which allows you
- to "see" your movie before you begin writing. The Board is broken down
- into four rows, 10 cards per row for a total of 40 — a good average
- count for the number of beats in the average movie.
- Row #1 is Act One; the last card in that row, the Break into Two, is your first major turn.
- Row #2 is the first half of Act Two up to the Midpoint. This is where your B Story and Fun and Games cards will appear.
- Row #3 includes your Bad Guys Close In and All Is Lost cards leading to the final major turn, the Break into Three.
- Row #4 concludes your screenplay with the Finale and Final Image cards.
- Create 40 moveable, numbered, color-coded scene cards that include:
- Heading – such as “INT. JOE’S APARTMENT – DAY.”
- Description – such as “Mary tells Joe she wants a divorce.”
- Notes – such as “important that Joe doesn’t reveal everything he knows.”
- Dialog – inspired? There’s a place to jot some dialog.
- Conflict – the >< indicates opposing forces
- Emotional
- Change – the +/- which indicates how the tone evolves during the scene.
- (Just like every good movie, every good scene has to have clear
- conflict and some emotional shift from start to finish.)
- Set-ups
- and Pay-offs – Set-ups and pay-offs show "growth" and "change" as a
- hero progresses through the story. Keep track of your set-ups and
- pay-offs — and even move them around from scene card to scene card.
