Agenda

Jub Clerc and I came together to write Sweet As. (Brief History)

(Where it comes from.) (Is it personal to you/Or are you writing about a world you’re not from/The past/The future?) – The first principal of all script writing is that the central story idea is informed by a clear conflict. The story plot should follow how the character attempts to deal with this conflict – and the stories meaning is generated by how and why the conflict is resolved or isn’t. In Sweet As – Murra is abandoned by her Mum. Abandonment causes the conflict/drama/tension in the story. How Murra finds her way in the world after her Mum abandonment – whether she learns to stand on her own two feet, or not, drives the story. Give other examples from different films. Ask participants to think about their favourite films and identify the Central Story Idea/Conflict.

The Idea

The values motivating the characters are universal. What binds us? (Family, love, shelter, health, education, work) Types of Universal Conflict: An unwanted pregnancy. An Affair. A Divorce. A Sudden Death. Losing your job. Winning a job. Losing your fortune. Losing your home. Losing your memory. Attaining Success/Being more than you can be/Wish, fulfillment stories. EG. (Billy Elliot) Universal conflict and how that affects structure and events in film. Universal Conflict means that life can be interrupted, making like messy for the character, and how the character deals with this mess, generates our story.

Universal Conflict

1 The characters situation. 2. The characters actions. 3. The characters attitudes. Murra’s Situation: Living with her Mum. Living with her Uncle. Her Uncle putting her on the Photo Safari. Living on a bus/camping with strangers. Having a crush on her teacher. Putting herself in danger and her friends in danger. Learning to love photography. Finding herself in photography and country. Learning to take responsibility. Reconciling with her Mum. Becoming an Adult. Good storytelling is all about our central characters changing, or unable to change (James Bond) in changing circumstances/and situations where they’re forced to act.

Character Journeys

5. The NEED to write/make your film. The why? Care so others care. Write what you know to begin. Or research/experience/find out. What do I know, what don’t I know.
