On Tuesday I am doing a webinar for Final Draft on action screenwriting - part of their ongoing series of insiders with lessons on the biz. Last week was Chris (CE) from WME.
Stuff I'm supposed to talk about:
The most important element of your action or thriller script: The Villain’s Plan
Why you need an active villain ... or your story is dead
Making your villains’s plan unpredictable and exciting
The mistake of multiple villains ... and the ladder of henchmen
Heroes: supermen vs every man -- which choice is right for your story?
How to create bad-ass lead characters -- from Chuck Norris to Haywire.
Mirror images and flip sides -- the hero/villain relationship
Bad guy leads -- can my hero be a villain?
Creating high-concept action scenes
How to make your action scenes also character scenes
Found weapons and the Naked Kill System
Reversals and suspense and gags
In just over an hour? I'll be lucky to cover half of that! But that is my goal, and I plan to use some new examples (maybe 21 JUMP STREET) so you won't get bored.
