Uncover the 20 Secret Screenwriting Hacks That Will Instantly Transform Your Script into a Blockbuster!
19) One of your opening three scenes should establish what’s missing in your hero’s life — A story is ultimately about your hero growing. They can’t grow if we don’t understand what’s missing in their life. And since you want to establish a character as quickly as possible, understanding what’s missing in their life should be conveyed within your first few scenes.
20) Cliches are fine as long as you write them with authenticity – Dude who gives his character a crack addiction to add “depth” but has no experience with drugs and does no extensive research to figure out how to write that character believably? That character will come off as cliche. Dude who was once a crack addict himself who writes his protagonist as a crack-addict and goes into all the deep-cut shit about what being a crack addict is REALLY LIKE? That character will never come off as cliche.
