7 Step Process To Writing A Screenplay - Brooks Elms

So I bought Save The Cat just now…

can anyone recomend good free script writing softwer for mac ? dont have 199$ to spend on final draft 12 ......

He's so damn smart and good !

Awful video, he says a lot of bulllshit, instead of just saying step 1, step 2, step 3

I find appealing the idea of listing scenes and then writing a treatment.

I like the idea of writing a treatment and using that for feedback. It also allows you to "shelve" a story and come back to it later without having to reconstruct it from random notes or struggle to recall important bits.

Karen's questions are great. She asks questions I thought of and haven't thought of. Wonderful interview! Thanks!!

Thank You Brook to Clear my Creative blocks with 7 simple steps while writing. Thank you Film Courage for countless Knowledge Sharing for aspiring filmmakers.

Helpful to hear how people interpret and modify the Blake system to suit their own needs. This is encouraging to hear. Thank you for posting these experiences and and interviews.

Blake Snyder's "Save The Cat" completely revitalized my DESIRE to write. Prior to reading STC, I was about to give up on the idea of writing. STC made writing fun and exciting again. I haven't referenced STC in a while. After watching this, I am going to read through it again. STC is actually the first book on writing that I've ever read from cover to cover. FIlm Courage is a priceless resource for inspiration.

Third interview I've watched featuring Brooke Elms. I really like the guy.

Thanks Film Courage and Brooks - always find myself taking notes while watching these masterclasses. Super informative, and most importantly, actionable!

On the surface, this feels like overkill, but after having written two features, a short, and a TV pilot, I've found my process organically gravitating toward this. I've wasted too much time filling plot holes and fleshing out characters after a few drafts of an entire screenplay, when a proper breakdown and treatment would've done more good and essentially saved me hours, if not days of work.

I'm not sure if this is answered elsewhere, but can anyone tell me the "7 different ways the audience is craving answers about your story?"
Thanks for the content, very enjoyable and helpful too!

Just watching this video I realized something that had been nagging me slightly here and there that I didn't understand. I had a character in my short action series that fought against the main character and lost, that I was toying with the idea of having him back in a return fight (originally was just going to be someone else). I didn't think about it much until just now, and realized it would be far better to have him return and get the other side of his face permanently marked to complete my OCD and add some more comedy into the scene. In fight 1 in a kitchen a toaster pops off some hot burned toast, and the protagonist grabs it and holds it to his face after slamming a kitchen cabinet door on his face several times (the main character's signature move, happens a few times throughout the series). In the second fight the same guy can return, with the toast burned face, and get a "FINISHED" or "DENIED" large stamp punch onto the other side of the face in an office setting before he gets his head slammed in a fax/copier machine spitting out copies of his face smushed against the glass with "DENIED" imprinted on there, plus there are some other similarities in the way the fight ensues. Brilliant, glad this video was presented. Wayne Industries will be sure to put a thanks to Film Courage in the credits at the end of the series.

One day i will be the director of a fameous TV show. If i ever get into a interview i will tell everyone that Film Courage helped me❤

Loving this channel. So good. Brooks' approach is spot on and it's so cool that he is coaching writers to help them move forward!

Wait what? Why would you state the theme overtly? That's hackneyed writing.

5:52 a.m in South Africa... Good morning film makers!

On a site stuffed with great interviews, this is one of the best. Thanks.

I love this channel.
please keep it up 🙌

(whenever I make some critical but important comment tho It hasn't gone unnoticed to me that u just leave it lol... and 'love' only the adoring comment. I'm never criticising this channel... only trying to have proper conversations on the topics covered. ..but whatever guys lol )

One of the best videos y’all have put up 👍🏻
