Noree’s Three Circles of Characters

What
I learned doing this assignment is how creatively satisfying it is to brainstorm
your own ideas before using AI. Be your best creative self, and then AI will
only enhance your writing experience. It absolutely makes you smarter in this “let’s
compare notes” framework of using AI. I also experienced reinforced learning while
watching my TV show after having moved some main characters to connected
characters.

ASSIGNMENT 1:

Watch the next episode of your Example Show to see how the characters fit into these three circles:

Main Characters Circle:

a. Wednesday

b. Tyler

Connected Circle:

a. Thing

b. Sheriff Galpin

Wednesday – 5 Star Model

What I learned doing this assignment is the reminder that this is a very straightforward and effective model to follow that is the essential foundation for a solid bingeworthy show. It also showed me that all 5 stars can and should show up equally as strong.

1. Big Picture Hooks

A high-schooler with a macabre sense of humor sees visions of the past and future and uses them to solve murders surrounding Nevermore, a school for outcasts.

2. Intriguing Character

Gifted goth misfit with a wheelhouse of artful renaissance talents who sees visions of the past and future and uses them either punish or assist the people around her.

3. Empathy / Distress

Wednesday needs to find out why a beast is killing people around her new school, but is constantly being pursued by people who want to harm her or kill her, or that simply misunderstand her motivations and intentions. She does have feelings (pet Scorpion death), but is resistant about sharing them with anyone. Her sarcasm is a mask.

4. Open Loops

What beast is killing people in the woods near Nevermore? Why did the beast spare Wednesday? Will the kids from Jericho ever catch up to harm Wednesday? Why does Wednesday’s dad have a police record for attempted murder? Is Wednesday going to try to make a connection with the killer beast?

5. Inviting Obsession

How is Wednesday going to solve the mystery beast murders, find out why her father was once wanted for attempted murder, keep her sanity boarding with an overbearing roommate while evading the people who want to harm or kill her?

Hi, I’m Noree Victoria.

I’ve written 3 scripts, one has been optioned.

I hope to elevate my writing skills with AI.

Something unique: I was recruited by the CIA after completing my Master’s Degree with a 4.0 GPA (they came to my school to meet with me) but I declined.

I did Bingeworthy TV 9 and MSC 16.

*I won’t be able to attend every live class but I’ll catch the recordings.

[Noree Victoria]

I’m Noree Victoria, hi!

I’ve written 2 scripts and just graduated from MSC 16 (25 weeks) last week!

I hope to get another script right away, in 30’ish days, from this class, and a review of some master class concepts we did in the very beginning of our last 25 weeks together.

Something strange? I’m MMA training right now for no reason at all. I permanently have the equivalent of dog zoomies (like when they randomly race around the room), but they’re human zoomies. So, I do A LOT of physical activities in between writing and acting to get them out.

Noree’s Life Threatening Sequence

What I learned doing this assignment is that there were situations that I thought were exposition in my script, that truly serve to put my hero is further danger!

The villain’s plan to is exploit a unique population for their genetic immunity. This puts the hero in danger because she works for the company, and her father is a descendant, unknown to her.

What other potential dangers could your Hero experience as
they try to solve the mystery and confront the Villain?

•Raven could be killed.

•Raven’s parents could be killed.

•Raven could accidentally kill their parents with a rogue cure for the current environmental crisis.

•Raven could be framed as a murderer.

•Raven could lose her job.

•Raven could put the population she’s trying to save in danger.

•Raven could be killed by the very population she’s trying to help/save.

•Raven coworkers and/or friends could betray her.

•Raven is abducted.

•Raven is threatened to stop pursuing the safety of the people of neighborhood
H.
Raven could be labeled as crazy/unstable.

•Raven could be followed and stalked by the minions of Hermetix Corp.

From the list of potential dangers, choose the ones that work
for this story.

(The ones that work for the story are bolded)

Sequence those dangers in order:

a. Raven’s parents go into cardiac arrest when she administers a rogue treatment
from Hermetic Corp.

b. Raven’s mother dies

c. Raven’s father is smothered in the ambulance by a mystery EMT

d. The pharmacist who was helping Raven warns her to stay away

e. Raven is followed by a fellow employee, Marcus, to see why she hasn’t been to work
after her parents pass

g. Raven is kidnapped in a subway tunnel

h. Raven escapes the tunnels into further danger, and discovers “Neighborhood H”

i. Raven realizes
Neighborhood H is being medically tortured and abused by her company

j. The life of a resident is placed in danger as he helps her escape

k. Raven sneaks into her job and steals a coworker’s laptop

l. Raven spots her coworker speaking with someone she’s previously seen dump a
body

m. Raven must solve the connection between Hermetix and Neighborhood H before Marcus
finds her and the laptop

n. Raven solves the mystery of returns to the tunnels where she is kidnapped for further
answers, placing herself in danger again

[Noree Victoria]

Noree’s Mystery Sequence

This assignment was challenging for me because I’m going back into a script with an opportunity to correct it, and so I believe it’s harder to reshape something finished than rebuild it. You have to break a lot of patterns that you were set in, and for me, I realized the areas where I was stuck in my rewrite were due to elements that were presented in this assignment. It was a huge revelation to be shown, plainly, how to build mysteries from a big secret and in my script, and that there are places where the mystery needs to be clearer. I also was mixing up secrets and mysteries at times in my thought processes before this lesson; as well as pointing too much to the villains early on and not fully utilizing cover-ups. This was great, and challenging.

What is
the big secret that the Villain is covering up?

•Dr. Morado is holding an
entire neighborhood in bondage to exploit their genetic immunity.

How
many ways can they cover that secret? Those become the mysteries.

•Who killed Raven’s parents?

•What is Marcus hiding?

•Who are the people of
Neighborhood H?

•Is Hermetix responsible for
years of medical death and torture?

Create
a Mystery Chain for each main mystery.

Mystery 1: Who killed Raven’s Parents?

•Raven
injected them with a substance, did she mean to kill them?

•Lenny
is Raven’s parents’ pharmacist, legally and illegally – what about him?

•Raven
doesn’t communicate with her coworkers for weeks after the death.

•Raven
is willing to break the law when it benefits her.

•Raven is kidnapped in the subway tunnels by “vagrants”

Mystery 2: What Is Marcus Hiding?

•Marcus
does everything Dr. Morado tells him to do.

•Marcus
shows up at Raven’s house unannounced.

•Marcus
finds algae residue on Raven’s chair and pockets it.

•Marcus
is seen talking to the driver of the body dump van.

•Raven
discovers evidence of Neighborhood H on Marcus’ laptop.

Mystery 3: Who Are the People of Neighborhood H?

•They
are terrified of outsiders

•Raven’s
dad is a descendant, how did he get on “the outside”?

•They
are non-reactive about the gruesome body dumps.

•Some
are privy to a network of underground tunnels where others live.

•They
are all immune to disease and the effects of climate change.

Mystery 4: Is Hermetix Responsible for Years of Medical Death and Torture?

•Hermetix
began as a research hospital for women’s reproductive issues.

•Dr.
Morado is leading the charge to help humanity overcome the recent changes
in the water supply.

•Hermetix
is a world renown research institution.

•Hermetix
is releasing a gene therapy protocol that will stop people from dying
from the water, soil, crater leakage, and toxic algae.

[Noree Victoria]

Noree’s Villain Has a Great Plan!

What I learned from doing this assignment is how important it is for backstory to be withheld until it has emotional impact on my hero’s journey. Since my script is already written and I’m working on rewrites with a producer, all these assignments are helping me to navigate some of the notes I’ve received – what I’ve revealed too quickly, what I need to reveal quicker, what they mean when referring to being more covert with some of my reveals and clues.

What is the end goal?

•To “steal”
the immunity gene sequences of an oppressed population and take credit
for saving mankind with it.

How can the Villain accomplish that in a devious way?

•Use the
immune populations from genetic testing against their will.

How can they cover it up?

•Separate
the immune population from the rest of the population.

•Keep
the neighborhood of The Immune from escaping.

•Have
Raven’s parents killed and make her believe she did it to insure her future
silence.

•Keep
the reputation of Hermetix Corp in stellar standing with the government
and community.
•Use
employees with everything to lose to carry out testing and torture.

•Get the
buy-in of the new interim surgeon general for Hermetix’ new treatment
protocol.
•Generate
fear mongering about the rising threat of the toxins in the water supply.

•Manipulate
scarcity into the supply chain of food and drug treatments via a connect
within the FDA.

•Attempt
to have Raven killed.

Sequence it to make it as intriguing as possible.

a. Separate
the immune population from the rest of the population.

b. Keep the neighborhood of The Immune from escaping

c. Keep the reputation of Hermetix Corp in stellar standing with the government and community

d. Use employees with everything to lose to carry out testing and torture.

e. Have Raven’s parents killed and make her believe she did it to insure her future silence.

f. Generate fear mongering about the rising threat of the toxins in the water supply

g. Manipulate scarcity into the supply chain of food and drug treatments via a connect within the FDA

h. Get the buy-in of the new interim surgeon general for Hermetix’ new treatment protocol.

i. Attempt to have Raven killed.

Noree’s SOTL Stacking Suspense

• Through each scene, answering the character MIS gave me so much insight about the character’s core traits. And it’s always through the things that they do, their actions. Never exposition. Gave me insight in how to reveal the traits of my main character using this map.

• How very much Clarice’s MIS actions makes her an unwitting yet resourceful hero. I learned how much I can display this in my own hero from scene to scene.

• How important it is not to skip any scenes during this process, as it could mean missing pieces of the MIS as a writer doing the exercise, and if this is skipped during the filmmaking process, it could mean losing the attention of your audience.

[Noree Victoria]

Noree’s BI Stacking Suspense

Things I learned:

• There may not be suspense in every scene, but if there isn’t, the scene should be heavy on the intrigue and character MIS.

• It’s becoming second nature to identify the differences among mystery, intrigue, and suspense. I might have been using them interchangeably before.

• Sometimes a mystery can be solved before the scene is over, like “who was the murdered guy?”, but there’s secondary mystery that isn’t.

• Sometimes the mystery I would guess would be different from the mystery in the chart… but there are many ways to break down a scene, as long as the components of the map are there, I am guessing there are many right answers.

• That I am looking forward to reviewing my thriller script with this chart to see what’s missing!

• This reply was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by  Noree Victoria.

[Noree Victoria]

Noree’s World and Characters!

What I learned doing this assignment is that if there isn’t a strong MIS for each main character, that character might just be a cool supporting character, or a red herring.

1. Remind us of your CONCEPT and the Big M.I.S. of your story.

Big Mystery: What is
the main mystery of your story that will keep us wondering throughout the
story? Who set Raven’s parents up to die?

Big Intrigue: What is
the covert, clandestine, underhanded part that will live under the surface
for most of the movie? A medical research corporation holds its employees
and a hidden neighborhood in a deadly grasp.

Big Suspense: What
is the main danger to your Hero that will continue to escalate throughout
the script? Will Raven die trying to help free the people of Neighborhood H
from Hermetix Corp?

2. Tell us the Intriguing World you have selected for this story.

A hidden neighborhood of people from the same descendant who are immune to everything.

With your top 2 or 3 characters, tell us the role they play and then answer these three questions:

Raven:

A. What is the mystery of this character? Who has set her up
and why?

B. What is the suspense of this character? The threat to her
life when she uncovers the truth about Neighborhood H.

C. What is the intrigue of this character? She is hiding that
she accidentally killed her parents. (or so she thinks)

Marcus:

A. What is the mystery of this character? Is he helping Raven
or trying to destroy her?

B. What is the suspense of this character? Underneath his academic
brilliance and charm, he’s a traitor to Raven that had a hand in her
parents’ deaths.
C. What is the intrigue of this character? He has a direct hand
in the torture and murder of the residents of Neighborhood H.

Dr. Morado:

A. What is the mystery of this character? Will he be able to keep
his research practices a secret while he rolls out a gene therapy cure for
people exposed to deadly water?

B. What is the suspense of this character? Who is he willing
to dispose of?

C. What is the intrigue of this character? A narcissist with
a god complex, willing to kill part of humanity for the “greater good” of
humanity.

[Noree Victoria]

Noree’s Big M.I.S.

What I learned doing this assignment is the difference between a thriller that delivers consistently throughout, and slipping into drama. This lesson actually demystified a recent producer’s note on my last draft of this project saying “you’re getting dramatic on me”.

Logline: After a traumatic night, a geneticist escapes into a neighborhood that technically doesn’t exist. A sinister connection between her company & the neighborhood emerges, and she is launched into finding a way to liberate the residents, without getting herself or the people killed. And most of all, without being exposed as a murderer herself.

1. What are the conventions of your story?

Unwitting but Resourceful Hero: A geneticist that believes she has accidentally killed her parents.

Dangerous Villain: Dr. Morado, head of Hermetix medical research corp.

High stakes: Raven’s life and reputation. The lives of the people living in Neighborhood H.

Life and death situations: Raven gets kidnapped in subway tunnels, Raven gets stuck inside of Neighborhood H, Raven confronts her coworker/friend who may be involved.

This story is thrilling because? We don’t know if Raven will survive it.

2. Tell us the Big M.I.S. of your story?

Big Mystery: What is the main mystery of your story that will
keep us wondering throughout the story? Who set Raven’s parents up to die? Are they the same ones involved with holding Neighborhood H in captivity?
Big Intrigue: What is the covert, clandestine, underhanded
plot that will live under the surface for most of the movie? The
descendants of Henrietta Lacks are being held captive to harvest their superior
immunity.

Big Suspense: What is the main danger to your Hero that will
continue to escalate throughout the script? Will she survive helping the people of Neighborhood H from under the control of Hermetix Corp?

[Noree Victoria]

Candyman Thriller Conventions

What I learned doing this assignment is that even if you don’t understand every story point of a thriller film, as long as the conventions are there, you will be pulled in to watch it, and you will be on the edge of your seat doing so.

Unwitting but Resourceful Hero: Brianna Cartwright, the fiancé of the man chosen to carry on the legacy of Candyman, must crack the code of how to use Candyman’s bloodlust to protect the Black community of Chicago from remnants of its racist past.

Dangerous Villain: I feel that there may be two. The original Candyman, Daniel Robitaille, and Anthony McCoy, who he has chosen as his successor.

High stakes: People are being found mutilated all over Chicago after coming in contact with the mythology of Candyman, or, Candyman’s chosen “vessel”, an artist who has become possessed by him.

Life and death situations: If you are from a racist bloodline, and you say “Candyman” into a reflective surface 5 times, he’ll show up and murder you in the most horrific manner possible, and everyone with you.

This movie is thrilling because? There is the ever present danger of people who keep starting the ritual, and you wonder if they’ll finish it. Candyman kills everyone in a wildly unique way – almost the way you are wondering how the next person will die in Kill Bill.

Big Mystery: Who is Candyman and what does he want?

Big Intrigue: The urban legend behind Candyman’s origin story and who his true targets are.

Hi, I’m Noree Victoria.

I’m currently in MSC16, and I’ve written one script that I’ve had with me for the past year. I’m in the process of making a deal on it, along with simultaneously being in rewrites with producer notes. Our attorneys are hashing out a few last details.

I’m taking this class specifically to elevate the script I have. I started it without knowing about the thriller map , and found out I should have one by taking the free class Fridays. The main issue that I find myself in is layering in reveals without flashbacks. I am grateful to learn that I have most of the other thriller elements in it from listening to the opening call and from the feedback I’ve received from the producers.

One unique thing about me – I used to teach high school biology and I am from Baltimore. Just about everything I write is either:

-layered with scientific themes about things that could ultimately lead to human extinction, or…

-has an element of surviving in a city that has MANY hidden real-life secrets built into its infrastructure.

[Noree Victoria]

I had some of the exact same revelations doing this assignment, David. The differences between secrets, cover-ups, and mysteries were finally made clear to me. I experienced several ah-ha moments that prompted me to go back to redo my homework twice to make sure I understood the impact of cover-ups for each mystery. It wasn’t as clear before for me. It’s certainly a challenge to go in with a script already, and my lesson answers for this may still change as we move forward in the course.

[Noree Victoria]

Thank you, David!

[Noree Victoria]

The allegory has been optioned with a network exercising first-look on it. I’m here to elevate the rewrites.

[Noree Victoria]

I am an actual descendant of Henrietta Lacks, David. I have the blessings of my family to tell this story. Thank you.

[Noree Victoria]

Hey Jim, I went back a few times to differentiate this myself. What I gathered is that the big MIS has to do with the plot and the hero’s MIS is usually something behavior related. I would ask Hal for 100% clarification, but this is an example I did from the SOTL MIS exercise:

Scene: Psych hospital doc argues with Clarice about visiting Hannibal but being given no information.

Mystery: Will the doctor stop Clarice from speaking to Hannibal?

Intrigue: Doctor wants to be in on the FBI investigation.

Suspense: The doc could sabotage Clarice’s investigation, or he could stall it, wasting time and causing the girl to be killed by Buffalo Bill.

Character MIS:

-The psych hospital doctor views himself as an essential piece in his important world, but is angered by Clarice treating him as if he is small.

-Clarice will not sacrifice the investigation to spare anyone’s feelings.

[Noree Victoria]

What a fascinating backstory. I used to teach high school biology and we may have similar interests in storytelling.
