Without emotional involvement, a story is just a sequence of events, nothing more than words on the page, not the experience the reader craves. Going beyond what most seminars and screenwriting books offer—rules, page templates, and plot formulas—this DVD goes right to the source: The work of highly successful screenwriters, showcasing powerful techniques for crafting compelling stories. Topics include:
- The power of anticipation.
- Grabbing the reader in the first page.
- Suspense vs. curiosity.
- Emotional moments vs. conflict.
- The five essential emotions in all successful stories.
