What's a quick way for writers to study the elements of story? No, it's not reading and discussing novels. It's studying film! Yes, movies!
First in this episode, we check-in with the November Writing Challenge.
Topics in this episode include A] why do we study through films, B] what are the elements of story to study, and C] how do we know which films to study.
Films to choose ~ any that are popular, either in book or film for, but hopefully in both forms ~
* We recommend Jane Austen's Persuasion, with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, better at presenting interior character stresses and desires.
*Our second recommendation is Last of the Mohicans, with Daniel Day Lewis.
*Our third recommendation is 13th Warrior, a flawed film that still manages to teach lessons for writers.
Finally, we give the nuts and bolts of how to study films.
