Wow, fantastic video!
ОтветитьVery great video. Super helpful.
Ответить25k is criminal
i feel with apparent character hierachy power of choice becomes murky, even though andy has the power of choice, it comes with an asterix because he's under steve in the hierarchy, that's why at the end he can order 'fix it'. it's saying you have power only because I gave it to you
Thank you for this clear and potent piece of writing insight ! This opens up an old rusty door that is dialogue, I have never really understood how to get through.
ОтветитьWow. This was terrific to wake up to. Reframing what I already know but wasn't aware I knew to the degree I could deftly apply it. I immediately changed a key introduction scene, that's been locked in for months, to include what I learned here. Thanks Tyler Mowery!
What's absolutely true of every good writing tip is We Already Know This, otherwise we wouldn't get it and re-get it with every example. We know it at an emotional level, from the experience of having read thousands of books, seen thousands of movies, heard thousands of jokes, told jokes, told stories, shared movie plots.
What happened at work today is either 'The boss yelled at me for no good reason and I was sad the whole day", or "When I punched in, the head skunk told me I had until the end of the day to sign the form giving up my union rights or he would fire me. I signed it, but then Andy stopped by to ask me about the car. He said, "What's that?"...."
Great video!
ОтветитьI just realized 12 Angry Men is essentially one big scene about one choice
ОтветитьTE AMOOO❤❤❤
Ответитьlittle-miss-sunshine scene in this script is page 30
ОтветитьTyler, you've used examples of scenes where it involves characters debating, in conflict and arguing and you tar them all with your "debating a choice" brush. Choice does come into it but with conflict, choice is NOT the driving force, it's the question of who will win the conflict, because, with a good conflict scene, both can't get what they want, both are relentless in their goals, and with great conflicts, they will escalate things, so it stops being about choice, it's about who will win, who's stakes will come to pass? how will the protagonist keep going in pursuit of their goal? and at the same time we get essential context about the story and the characters. Again, you seem to throw conflict, choice, arguing into the same point and are unable to discern the difference, over and over. You're giving out bad info. You need to learn the difference. That district 9 scene is a conflict, debate has nothing to do with the main driving force. With the Steve jobs example, there is an event with a ticking clock to the stakes, and there is a mini conflict inside of it and we understand the weight of the voice over, motivated through conflict, not a debate, through conflict, it's a brilliant ad, all the people outside have come to see this voice, there is a lot of money and creativity involved it making it right, that context is motivated by the conflict. Choices in scenes like this, DO NOT motivate context like this , Tyler, conflict does. Really, dude, you need to learn the difference.
ОтветитьThe Diner scene in Reservoir Dogs is another great example
ОтветитьTus videos son cada mes mejores, cada dia mas sorprendido con tus conocimientos. Muchas gracias🎉❤
ОтветитьWhat about a scene where one character is a subordinate to another and has no choice or say in the matter? For example, Officer K and Joshi. The scene where Joshi tells K he must kill the Replicant Child. K has no choice in the matter or at least, that is how he views it in this moment of the story.
ОтветитьOutstanding video essay as usual.
ОтветитьI heard on that studiobinder channel that you actually don’t even need to know what your theme is before you write your plot and characters. You can go back and figure that out afterwards. Is this true? I thought I heard you say before that the whole damn reason we write in the first place is to express theme and I agree. But are they right? Also does every single instance of conflict in a tv show have to complement the main theme? If so how do you maintain that for multiple seasons of tv? I’m so very confused by this. I don’t get the interconnectedness of stakes, philosophical conflict, subplots, and theme. 😣🔫
ОтветитьWhen are you going to do a video on what happens once you get signed by an agent? What’s it REALLY like in Hollywood? Thank you.
ОтветитьHi Tyler! Great video! I tried to apply this while watching Oceans 11, but had difficulty as most of the scenes are just the characters executing a plan. Is it the case that the casino/the antagonists are the ones making the choices in heist movies?
Edit: I mean in the sense of whether or not they believe the scam/fall for it.
Would this work with open questions?
For instance, I have a scene that boils down to “What course of action will the characters take, moving forward?”
I have 4 characters, each with different viewpoints, who are debating this, so I use those viewpoints to inform their answer to this question, then have the dialogue represent them going back and forth.
Is that viable?
The fulcrum!
ОтветитьHey, Tyler, do you think you can make a video breaking down the story circle for a film that focuses on more than one protagonist such as The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers?
ОтветитьImplementing an object of choice made my story so much better, thanks Tyler!
ОтветитьYou are a talentless fraud.
ОтветитьYou should upload more videos
Ответить12 Angry men?
ОтветитьCan't remember who said it, but I heard once that good dialogue either attacks or defends. Would you say that lines up?
ОтветитьYou are amazing!! Thank you so much! I. hope you win an Oscar for best original!
ОтветитьJust discovered your channel and can’t wait to watch everything. Brilliant educational content thankyou so much.
Ответить"hierarchy."
Ответитьhi Tyler I like your work and I have subscribed to your channel it been quit some time now. I'll really like your opinion about this even it is not relevant much to the video
what do you think our generation and the new generation has in common and how is the new generation out doing us
Like the rest of the comments, I loved the video just one question.
I think in terms of scene and sequels.
Scene = goal, conflict, disaster
Sequel = reaction, dilemma, desicion
Are you suggesting that you do this for dialogue in every scene and sequel. Or is there a rhythm to how you see it used best?
Thanks again first time commenting on your videos but I have been watching for a long time.
Wow! What a simple way to decide if the dialogue serves a purpose and belongs in the story. Thank you. 🙏🏻 😊
Ответить♥♥♥
ОтветитьGreat content. Thank you ❤
The "choice" scene I can recall is one in AOT and is like it has all the things you say at the end; people taking sides, the object, the pressure building up, the one with the power, the one who's on the way...
It was so tense that I was asking myself what I would do, like if I was the character.

ОтветитьAgain, Tyler. Your calling is a teacher, cause you're the best on YT.
ОтветитьNice.
ОтветитьPlease write a screenwriting book. It would be fantastic.

ОтветитьIts way more clear now.
You should definitely make a part 2 series of dialogue writing.
@TylerMowery Is it possible for you to read my short film script. It is 13 pages long and is a thriller? I would really appreciate your feedback as I am just starting out my journey as a screen writer.
ОтветитьHierarchy is misspelled. Besides that, good video!
ОтветитьThank you! This was such a great video. When should the choice be presented? A minute into the scene? Two? After the scene is set?
ОтветитьPerfect, concise breakdown. Just what I needed.
Ответить2 Jackals fighting over a bone
ОтветитьYou never disappoint. Thank you so much for this breakdown. Dialogue has been my challenge and after seeing this video, I'm actually excited to write a scene. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
ОтветитьTyler. LOVE your videos.
Said constructively and with LOVE: Spelling check before pressing "record"... please! (e.g. heirarchy, Pharoah, who's)
Are we not writers?
<3
Excellent video!
ОтветитьThis is so helpful. I can't tell you how many short films I needed someone to tell me what you just said. I'm definitely gonna start using this info a lot more in my upcoming films I write. Legit Tyler your channel is so helpful.
Ответить👏👏👏👏👏
