Lesson 2

[Buckley Hubbard]

Buckley’s First Three Decisions

What I learned doing this assignment is that I am SO GLAD I signed up for this. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to master for some time, and I think working these things out may be my favorite part of crafting a story. Because what’s the point if we aren’t impacted? (Yes, entertainment, but you know what I’m saying.) Another thing I learned: The Change doesn’t have to be the character arc – that’s a big relief, freeing, and exactly what I was hoping to do with this.


1. What is your profound truth?



God is real, alive, and GOOD.


2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience?



Audience Change = From relegating God to mere religion to realizing He’s alive and good.


3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?



As-it-happened-conflict / Road Trip

Timothy’s First Three Decisions

What I learned doing this assignment is don’t settle for your first idea. Consider both your character arc, and your audience arc. How can this story effect a change for the better in both?

Give us your three decisions.
1. What is your profound truth?
Rule makers are often the greatest rule breakers.

2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience?
We should examine who benefits most when others follow certain rules – Cui Bono?

3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?
Metaphor – A retiring high school teacher preparing to start a new part of life
