  Brian King’s Right Characters

  What I learned doing this assignment… It’s crucial to have a clear understanding of the backgrounds of both my protagonist and the antagonist. Understanding what led them to the pivotal “FADE IN” moment is essential, not only in my mind but also on the page. I spent a great deal of writing time figuring that out. Okay, it’s rough perfect, but it’s a start.

  Additionally, I’m puzzled as to why I’m the only assignment contributor to this Forum. This situation leaves me with an unsettling sensation. Hal and Cheryl’s ScreenwritingU class materials are truly exceptional, and I benefit from them by wholeheartedly engaging in the assignments, perfectionism be damned.

  While I remain committed to completing the assignments within the designated 48-hour timeframe, I’ve decided to exercise discretion in terms of what I choose to forum share. Given the lack of contributions from my peers thus far in the “The Ultimate Contained Movie” classes, I’m hesitant to continue being the sole provider of assignment posts. It is my sincere wish that my fellow participants will share their efforts and foster an environment where we can all learn and grow together. I’m sure my colleagues have their reasons for not posting assignments, and I respect that, curious though I may be.

  With each of your main characters, how can they uniquely fit with the Hook? –Olympic athlete (hero) and a sports doctor (villain). Mix in jealousy, inspiration, self-sabotage, fear of success, and living through each other in unhealthy ways to create conflict and tension… hope + fear=tension.
