Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

Story structure, such as it is, is a more or less guiding template that can be applied to most stories in a given genre. It's not a blueprint for much of anything architecturally speaking... That is to say, one really does NOT need to start with a diagram of structure to take to the next step of outline, and follow through with fleshing out... to produce a decent story. AND no, before anyone asks, it doesn't much matter what genre you're talking about. The three-act structure, for instance, can be applied to practically any story from any genre. The scenes don't really need to change, and the format doesn't get too far "tweaked" away from the original to be recognizable... It just helps package that story, with a modest amount of "refinement" into a comfortable and familiar form that almost anyone will recognize when they see it. A character's arc, on the other hand, is a widely varied thing. If you're telling a traditional comedy, a romance, or an adventure, most of the time, you can draw a character arc in terms of "value A" where the character's perspective starts... and "value B" where the character's perspective has shifted by the end of the story. A line can be drawn through this adventure with ups and downs to illustrate viewpoint shifts through the story that the character might go through as he or she endures this trial and fire, but usually, from "value A" the character usually gains something in perspective by "value B" (end)... How you frame that journey in structure is entirely up to you (writer)... AND just because you do not NEED to start by diagram and architectural structure analysis, it does NOT mean that you can't. I'm sure someone in the world has done it that way and managed successful writing. It's just not a necessary method... For my two-cents', it would seem more organic to write the character up, get the journey and trials of this story together, and while fleshing it out, (maybe) start putting some notation or marking places where you might define the particulars of "Acts" or "Chapters" to employ in your polished work as a Structural Template for whatever work, genre, or style you wish to emulate (or stand on its figurative ear)... ;o)

gnarth d'arkanen I totally agree with the point of letting the character arc ‘organically grow’ the story, fleshing out structure points after the journey from point A to B is understood.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 6 лет назад

FCWHAT, Well, some people agree and use it absolutely (Stephen King is exemplar) and some are a little more regimental in their approach. I can't say either particular process is definitely better than the other. I am glad to note that someone understands what I was pointing toward, and hope (quietly) that you got something useful. Thx... ;o)

What about a character who has no arc, but a straight line, up to down, like Hud, played by Paul Newman in the movie of the same name. He starts out a heel and and ends up a heel. He has no redeeming qualities.

Good point....hhhmmm?

@beebuzz959 6 лет назад

No, not necessarily, but the story arcs and we do feel sympathy for him. We do see he's lost and does some horrible things, does it to himself and others, but we also see he's broken and hurt. That's the reveal. His is a tragedy, like the other film she pointed out in this, The Wrestler.

@ericwilliams626 3 года назад

Yeah, you miss the point. you are obviously interested in being a rebel rather than learning how to write. These are guidelines not absolutes. Writing is a discipline. The more you write the less the rules apply. But you don't start off by talking about breaking the rules. Ridiculous. Now shit down a write a thousand pages. 10,000 hours by Malcolm Gladwell. Know it.

These are called flat character arcs. They don't really change internally... They're just kind of the same thing ALL stories are about people and change. Flat character arc stories, with an unchanging character, often are sticking to their ideals/virtues. And it's the characters around them that changes because of it

@koachmike8367 Год назад

Flat character arcs are common. Just consider James Bond, or the leads in any TV series. The character stays the same because we know and love them as they are. By staying the same they also defeat the forces of change and keep the world in its rightful place.
