All Drama is Conflict
Last weekend, I held another sold-out workshop at Fox in Sydney,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and, for is commonly the case at my workshops, I found a fashionable way of presenting an idea that helped me clutch it better. And I'd like to share it with you.
You've probably heard it ahead, but there's a clause that goes favor this: "All Drama is Conflict".
One of the blunders writers often make is overlooking (or misinterpreting) this easy idea. We frequently read screenplays that don't have enough conflict. And when that happens, it method a dull peruse.
Read the phrase afresh and let it sink in. It doesn't mention "All Drama has a lot of Conflict". It says All Drama IS Conflict.
It goes to the very center and pith of storytelling. Conflict is the quite ecology of drama, and without it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there simply is not story. Nothing's happening.
Consider the last story you wrote,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], alternatively the last scene you beat out. Was it built entirely around conflict? Was the whole point of the scene to show 2 alternatively more characters by odds with one another (by fewest on some class), alternatively a character at odds with herself?
When you re-read your work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do you ever marvel why it fair doesn't "sing"? Is it flat or dull or appear like something's wrong, and it's fair not going anywhere?
Here's a tip namely took me ages to actually understand: When you put temperaments in collide with one distinct, the audience is drawn apt it. They can't help but see an amusing clash! And whether you don't deem me, consider the final time you penetrated a couple aboard the avenue having an argument. Your instinctive repercussion was to look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perhaps even to watch.
That's drama.
The point is this: They are NOT separate entities. Drama IS conflict. So the quickest path to spice up your story is to add another wafer of conflict. Person A wants something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Person B stands in his access (or ambitions it also!).
We're not talking about a few important scenes. We're talking about anything! Your logline absences it, your contraction absences it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your handling absences it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and your screenplay needs it. On each page. In every scene. In every story.
Because that's what storytelling namely entire approximately.
Now get out there and establish some conflict!
Keep on writing!
