2. Study the first scenes of movies to learn how you should open your screenplays.
3. Study how quickly the protagonist(s) are thrown into the fire of the conflict to learn how you can do the same to yours.
4. Study how movies are peppered with twists, turns, plants, and payoffs—big or small—throughout the whole film.
5. Study your emotions at the end of a movie and learn from them and how you can affect readers and audiences by the end of your story.
