I purchased the book. But it has yet to make it to my email. I accidentally did a double purchase [trouble shooting] to see if I overlooked a step. Still have not received an ebook from the second attempt. So, there may be an issue somewhere. Tyler, would you please refund the second purchase and see to it that I get the first order for the ebook? Thanks! Hope I did not confuse you. LOL...

The questions: - what do the characters want? - what is the specific problem in the scène? What creates conflict? - what do the characters do to try to get what they want? - how does this scene change the overall story? - what are the goals of the characters in the story and in this scene particular?

How is "what do the characters want?" different from "what are the goals of the characters?". That just seems to over complicate things.

@@koldx111 Tyler mentioned both and what you say is right. But you could also see 'the goal' as what the character wants in the 'concious' sense, and 'the want' of the character is what he longs for on a subconcious level. I don't know, I'm not a writer nor I created this video.

@@DarthDre lol. Why are you talking about want vs need? We were talking about how the 2 questions are the same but just phrased differently. When you set a goal, that's usually a want. Oftentimes the character doesn't know their needs until later.

Reminds me of Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park)’s “Therefore/But” rule: Every scene should be linked to the next by either the word “therefore” (causation) or “but” (complication). Keeps the story simple, dramatic, and moving forward! Helps me a lot:)

Tyler, thanks for this video! Had there been times were I took a different POV from the books, especially one by Jill Chamberlain, your videos help and I’m up everyday learning new strategies! I have the idea of no budget film revolving around three characters. I’m obsessed about making it look cool, but it’s a learning curve and I have to take this step by step. We’re all students of curiosity, my brother! And more importantly looking at films that don’t involve VFX, only surround around character. Thank you again, still pushing and never stop until we all achieve where we want to be

Thank you so much. This is one of the best resources for beginning my screenplay which I will review once or twice more at least. This is one of the best ways I have spent 15 min and 43 seconds since learning how to write with all the footage I've been viewing.

I love your videos man. For a person like me who never plans to attend film school, people like you who take the time to create these concise conceptual visuals are a blessing. Thanks Homie. I wanted to challenge your idea on the SOC movie. When creating a biopic do you think there is room for leniency in that rule if the scene is an integral part of the characters life even if its not ideal for that particular screenplay? If my explanation needs more explaining let me know.

@TylerMowery

I see what you’re saying. And that’s hard to say. I think it comes to asking “What is the goal of this story?” Also “who is this story about?” The more characters and plot lines you have in a 2 hr film, the more things can get confusing. So I get, as a cultural icon and within the history of rap, Snoop Dogg and Dre’s partnership was extremely influential. I think if I’m looking at Straight Outta Compton as a stand-alone story, Snoop Dogg as a character within that story isn’t necessary. Hopefully that makes sense.

Your videos are always a joy to watch, it is always so perfect, no second wasted, a good screenplay in itself.
