On this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread, I’m talking STAKES. What are stakes? Well, your protagonist should have a want - a tangible and/or emotional goal. Stakes are the consequences of success and/or failure for that goal. They’re also the reason your protagonist + the audience cares. 🧵1

Found this in my notes app.

I have no memory of writing it… likely half-asleep.

Was I onto something?

Voice actors for animated film and television are some of the most talented performers I’ve ever worked with.

Always worth remembering!

You can always add tension to your screenwriting when you need to.

In RAIDERS, a scene about measuring a wooden staff becomes riveting because of some poison dates.

The poison dates don't have to be physical. They can be emotional, too,

Always look for your poison dates.

A quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is some of the most ubiquitous writing advice but also widely misunderstood. WWYK doesn’t mean only write about the exact things you’ve done. Then there would be no stories about time travel or aliens or dogs playing football. 🧵1

Freytag’s Pyramid is one of those ideas most writers vaguely remember from school and then quietly file away.

It typically appears as a triangle on a whiteboard. Rising action. Climax. Falling action. Resolution. Simple enough to feel obvious. (read more): https://bit.ly/4ukWhj3

An exploration of Freytag’s Pyramid, what it was meant to describe, and why its focus on aftermath and consequence still matters in storytelling.
