Lesson 12

Lloyd’s Building in Intrigue

BWTV Module 3 Lesson 12

Working hard to become the best writer I can be and as a result I do become the best writer in Hollywood.

What I learned from this assignment is the mysteries, Open loops, and intrigue built into each scene is decided before hand and adjusted as I write the scene creating a living document tha breathes and grows.

I have two episodes for my pilot and over 30 scenes. At this point I have stuck close to my framework and mapped out what layers I want for each scene and act. I have a dozen or more open loops already and equal amounts of intrigue and mystery. Before I started this course, I was aware these existed, but I never made a conscious decision to add these into each scene. Now I realize a scene doesn’t pop without them. The additions are too numerous to write down here, but I am looking to put as many of these elements in a scene as I can.

CJ’s Outline With Intrigue

What I learned from this assignment was a new technique to find the missing pieces of my big picture puzzle, drilling down each scene

I know there’s still a lot of work, some scenes need broken into two and/or rearranged to keep the pace/tension, others need the conflict amped, etc… but this has given me a great foundation to build on!
