The #1 Secret to Writing GREAT ADAPTATIONS
If your opening scene shows a bunch of bikers burning a Star of David at a city park, you are going down a bold and dangerous artistic path. Whatever your real intent is, it will be viewed as neo-NAZI hate unless Henry can quickly defuse this bomb in the minds of the viewers. The entire force of the right and left media would descend on this story and spin it like Charlottesville in a flash. Henry would be a pariah to EYE if he risked trying to "get to the truth" about the cult. He would lose his job, his privacy, his safety, and any relationships he had. In other words, he'd be the perfect protagonist. He would require a solid want to take up this story and destroy his life as he knows it. The injustice done to Owen doesn't feel personal enough for him to endure Hell. His want has to be selfish to be authentic. What would cause a social media blogger to try to convince the world that Nazis are a "good cult" even if their true beliefs were moral and just? Good luck.
Bravo! Is it hard to tune out the comments people are making in real time? It feels really vulnerable.
Tyler, go to Format > Elements... > Scene Heading > Font > Set Font > Style: [ x ] Bold -- that way you don't have to always bold your slug lines manually!
Try using gpt chat, since you know your characters just ask questions like want do they want, need, list obstacles they may face. You will be pleasantly surprised. Also ask it what would one character say to another in a certain tone. When I tell you my 60 pages already written, by me, open my mind to so many wonderful ideas by having chat assist me. This is the way of the future. Ask AI.
Chat GPT is kinda mid tho
Huh?
This guy is actually helping me with my writings, and writing skills
How are you making money?
Thank god I was able to find something that can help me while working on a tv series script but in a better and less stress way. Needed this sm. Tysm! (Subscriber :D)
Loving your new Watts-ian, Joseph Campball-ian era, Tyler! You are transforming from Hero to Mentor - thank you for what you do!
Glad you like the new style!
Brother, what do you do for living? it is really hard when you have no money, no academic excellence and still want to become screenwritter. you get to see the real cruelty. anyway, just finished watching entire video. Thank you brother.
I don’t have a job. I do work with writers in different ways on my website for money.
Hey stream viewers. My internet died suddenly as I was streaming. I'll be back tomorrow morning for the next stream!
I’m not denying that BvS has its problems, but I think maybe the main point of Superman’s death wasn’t to try and show stakes, but to show that he saved the world despite it hating him and he inspired people to be good. If I’m wrong, please correct me.
Anyone in nyc? Looking for help
How can I study it if I can't talk about it?
In a flat arc you can do something that Christopher Nolan did in the Dark Knight Trilogy. Batman's villains challenge his rule of no kill by being psychopaths, the worst kind of humans, Bane has a goal and the Joker has a goal. But Joker's dialogue is delicious and soo accurate for his character that most of us only watch The Dark Knight instead of the entire trilogy
Thank you. Subbed ❤
My writing is enjoyed by people, but I have no idea how to make money out of it. Your advice steers me in the right direction, personally I've never taken it seriously, but that's self-sabotage and I understand that being able to use writing as a means to build your lifelihood has to become a belief first before I'm able to become serious about it. Thanks again tyler, I love the nature backdrop, so relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Write well first, money later!
background is so clean, feels weird not hearing bird chirping...
I've got a mic that only catches my voice close. Maybe I'll try a different one and you can hear the birds lol.
Hello, i am from Indonesia - Jakarta. First time learn screenplay writing, your channel was very helpfull. I always listening to your channel again and again when i am in the middle of going somewhere or write it down when i am on my desk. Thanks a lot Tyler, you inspired me a lot.
Glad to hear it. Keep going!
The very thing you’re complaining about, you’re doing it. Where’s your movie we can reference? I can’t find any of your blockbuster movies. We’re being told to do things by a kid who hasn’t experienced anything significant in life yet. Let alone practiced anything he preaches. You should go out and interview people who have. Here life experiences through them. Share them here on your channel.
Great Work Tyler 👍Thankyou
My pleasure!
Bro 🎉
Right words on the right time! Thank you 🙏🏻
Perfect!
i like that you start to include psychological patterns into storytelling/filmmaking (obviously bc of your own journey) bc they are obviously there as the psyche is always present whether conscious or un-/subconscious. makes me also feel more connected.
I had a dream about a few of my characters only once. They essentially found out they were “clones” and were deeply disturbed. I basically ripped off the characters from another genre and accidentally fell in love, it took over a year to realize what the dream literally meant
very cool
My top 3 in this movie is Robert Paulson, Robert Paulson, and Robert Paulson.

While watching I realized something about my own writing (thank you for which) and I wanted to share a piece of advice. Perhaps, you don't need to reveal many things in Act 1- instead show a glimpse of the certain thing/information and reveal it later in Act 2 or Act 3. That way you can have your later acts varied (Henry's perspective would be constantly challenged and he would need to comprehend new information and let go of older lies that he doesn't realize he still clinges to). Thus, you would gradually build upon what the audience and Henry already know and this would parallel how Henry's perspective is being changed too. Henry's view about what he personally thinks is going on and what others are telling him would continuously force him and the audience to rethink the belief set up by his social environment. I'm a person who often thinks of many ideas all at once and that's why I came up with so many things. I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense I tried my best to explain it.
thank you for the suggestions!
You hit the nail on the head. I feel trapped in my own mind, and every time i try to explain the stories outside of story... language fails. This is a good reminder of the importance of telling the story, if for nobody else then just myself.
I created a character that is the total opposite of me with strong beliefs. And when I really stripped the layers back I saw that the character was a manifestation of my own insecurities and me trying to make peace with them them through the character's arc.
He outside!
Wait.....that's green screen LOL.
Wait, nah he's outside fr.....???
lmaoooo
You contact Greta yet
Yes sir 👏 keeping the writers aiming for excellence in the craft and themselves, much needed message beyond Hollywood as well 👏
All the horrible things that are unfolding around the world, the destruction of my birthplace by a dictator, made me feel I have a moral obligation to tell my story.
52:40 I use dark mode when my eyes are tired / in the evening / super early in the morning. It helps me screenwrite. I change the color of the background & for the progress graph, too. It helps me feel inspired & fresh, even though I've been working on (and off) my project for 4 years now. 😅💖
Blue Light glasses work well for eye strain
@@boshtovar Don't worry, my glasses actually have the anti-'blue light coating. (It was expensive.) And yet, bright lights make me feel overwhelmed. Gotta do what I gotta do to be able to spend a lot of time screenwriting. And yes, I have my computer be warm-toned from evening to morning. 😂
You're the best teacher thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
"Arc" not "arch"! Also, what's the unintentionally hilarious line from the marriage conversation?
Great stuff as usual Tyler!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You look like you are enjoying this process... 🙂
The most underrated writing channel
What are some other worthy writing channels?
Wow Mr. Tyler this was a word... This was what my soul needed to hear because I have been stuck and afraid and everyone people that write say different things but I needed to understand why it hurts when I write and I just thank you so very much because I feel like I just took my first breath in a very long time.. I get it now. I am so grateful I don't even have the words to explain how thankful I am for you right now. Thank you so very very much 🙏🏾 God Bless 🙏🏾 thank you Tyler..❤❤❤😊😊😢😊😊
Glad you enjoyed the video. More to come!
I started a new screenplay with a complex plot that requires breaking the 4th wall. Based on a real experience of mine.
Nice!
I have a very funny story about dreams. Back when I was in grade 9 I was addicted to weed and nicotine through vaping. I would go to the washroom to vape, I was lazy in school, I would only hit the gym once a week, I was high at least 2 times a week, probably depressed and I wasn't even thinking of stopping. But one day my mom who knew about everything came into my room telling me 'Please don't vape in the washrooms anymore'. I asked why and she said she had a dream that she got from the printable of the school telling her I got caught vaping in the washroom. Pretty standard coming from her, right? But she said something else; I was crying in the office and asking to talk to her on the phone. For context, I have gotten caught vaping in the washroom before this and I did not have a reaction like this at all. My mom tried asking the principal what happened and the principal said I wouldn't tell them. My mom heard the principal hand the phone over to me and I was inconsolable. I was apparently asking her to come to the school, and when she asked me what happened I was having difficulty articulating what occurred due to being almost inaudible. She got in her car and was walking up the steps to get to the front doors of the school... and then she woke up. She said it felt so real that when she thought about it it felt like a memory of something that actually happened. I of course brushed it off and continued doing what I was doing. My mom's worried for me, it makes sense. It was in the back of my mind but I would be able to rationalize it. Until I went to my grandma's place to use their new punching bag. For context, my grandma only knew that my grades were slipping, she didn't know about anything else. We were talking a lot like we usually do and brought something up. You can probably guess what it was; she had a dream. She said that she was at home working out when she got the call from my mom. My mom sounded like she was in distress. My mom said that she was at the school in the principal's office and apparently I got beat up. My Grandma looked very disturbed as she was telling me this like it scared her a lot. And to top it off she too said it felt very real. I was on edge whenever I went into the washrooms and always had an escape plan. I even stopped bringing my own vape to school which gave me the belief that it reduced my chances and just leached off of other people for it and lied about having no money. But I was always on edge. And to escape that I even started smoking more and more. It got to the point where on my way home I would start to have a panic attack due to my high wearing off. To soothe myself I would usually watch a light-hearted show. I would go to the gym occasionally but didn't like going when there were a lot of people which was any time after school. I was also a fly on the wall socially, very quiet, had nothing of value to say, and quite frankly socially awkward. It was always an escape and I was in a bad state. Until one morning... This morning was in the washroom chilling waiting for one of my buddies who I would always chill with at that time in that setting. It always just be us because both of us get to school early and feen off of him. He walked into the wash and we talked some small talk for a bit. he pulled out his vape hit it a couple of times and knowing that I would ask him, he offered it to me. For the first time in a year, I said no to hitting a vape. Two days later I started going to the gym in the morning. This is over a year ago now. At that time I thought that dream was a curse waiting to swallow me up, but now I think it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I still have demons to deal with, but I'm consistent in the gym, I read regularly and I haven't touched a vape, cigarette, or any weed-related products since then. That was all because of a little dream.
Wow. What a story! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for this video 😁 please please please please do another wiring a screenplay in 48 hour videooooo
I'm writing a screenplay live right now! Won't be doing a 48 hour video for a long time.
I quit writing one year ago. I decided to start writing but I was not getting motivation. Now I decided to start writing again if I am lucky I may also earn money or something more but I don't care I love it so I will do it. I also decided to start reading novels again. I am also studying psychology which may help me write stories or my stories will help me learn about my psychology.
That's great! Writing is a great way to learn self awareness.
