EXERCISE

Analyze all your favorite television and feature scripts with this formula in mind. Look for the clear establishment of the goals and dilemmas. In television, see if the act outs reflect the building of this goal and dilemma in terms of obstacles, escalating obstacles, turning point and your “all is lost” moment. In your favorite feature script, look for the catalyst on page 12, then the clear establishment of the goal and dilemma by page 30. Next look at the midpoint; does it heighten or change the direction of the initial goal? Look at the “all is lost” moment around page 75. Does it reflect back to being as far away as possible from achieving the goal set by the end of Act I? How you look at and evaluate story will help you to better understand your own.

Of your list, write down what films and TV shows have the strongest dilemmas. Begin to notice the value of story that comes from these dilemmas. Start to view story from this perspective.
