Bingeworthy Lesson 6 – Relationships
Griff’s Relationship Maps
What I learned from doing this assignment: Relationships are dynamic and can (do) spill over into the various facets of story. For instance, the complex relationship between Nancy and Jonathan in Stranger Things directly affects Steve, but has deeper implications when Steve sees Jonathan’s bravery against the monster. Steve will come to respect Jonathan even though he is his rival for Nancy.
In my series THE LAST STRAW the relationship between the mother, Stephanie, and the neighbor’s daughter, Marcey, is beginning to have a life of its own. I was originally going to have Brad, Marcey’s father, as the third relationship in my map, but Marcey popped up as more interesting.

Lesson 6
What I learned: I’m finding that the deeper I get into these assignments with my concept, the more serious and less humorous it seems! I’ve started watching some comedies (along with my BWTV example) to look for these same qualities and see how they can be funnier.
Oh! And what I just also learned is that it won’t let you copy and paste the tables into this! Anyone have a solution for this?

Frank’s Show’s Relationship Maps
What I learned from doing this assignment is…
That this is a good way to start thinking about who the Connected Characters are since it became apparent to me that I would need certain roles filled as I made the character maps for three of my Main Characters. So when I started on the character map for Henry, I knew he had to have a love interest who causes him to betray his oaths as a military officer. Thus, Sanji Punjabi was born – a woman who serves in the enemy’s military forces. As I made character maps, I also realized that I was advancing my understanding of the story by seeing how these burgeoning character relationships would affect the progression of the storylines. It’s a lot of time and energy to create these character maps, but they are very useful because they help me to see how these relationships unfold in a visual manner.
