655 - Conflict and Stakes Compendium
Manage episode 435212621 series 2584159
In this compendium episode, John and Craig look at two of the most fundamental building blocks of compelling stories – conflict and stakes.
We define six forms of conflict common in movies, and explore ways to sustain conflict within a scene and throughout a story. We also look for ways to find the root of your character’s stakes, pick the right stakes for the world around them, and the importance of making everything personal.
In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig look at Whiplash and how it finds conflict at the perfect tempo.
