Decisions, Decisions: Getting your Characters’ Thoughts and Feelings Onto the Screen

This free online workshop will focus on one of the most unique and difficult aspects of screenwriting: externalising your characters’ thoughts, feelings, and decisions through dialogue and action. Wendall will discuss how character decisions actually create the arc and will use examples from old and new films to illustrate various techniques you can use to externalise and dramatise the whole range of your characters’ inner life.

Please note: Wendall will be revisiting some of the films from the 3 Act Structure Webinar from the Character perspective, and she will also be discussing the films Arrival and Parasite in terms of character decisions, so if you haven’t seen either of those films, you might want to watch them before the day to get the most out of the seminar.
