Creating Authentic Emotional Conflict
Character and plot are intertwined—after all, plot
is what happens to the characters. If the audience does not care
about the characters, the plot will falter. Audiences may be
shocked or surprised by plots, but they care about characters. So
authentic emotional conflict evolves from characters trying to deal
with their circumstances. The character arc is the growth of the
main character as he or she attempts to reconcile with the conflict
of the plot. But before we can understand the course of a
character’s progress (or regress), we have to know who that
character is. In this workshop, you will cover how to naturally
develop characters and story as a single unit so that your audience
connects on a deep emotional level. By the end of this workshop,
you will have a completed first act of your script—or a more
polished one if you have already started your script—with comments
from an industry professional and the tools you need to complete
you screenplay.
