I believe that a more informed audience raises the bar for storytelling. That examining the techniques used to tell great stories makes your own writing better and your appreciation for the stories deeper. With Lessons from the Screenplay, I make videos that analyze movie scripts to examine exactly how and why they are so good at telling their stories. Part educational series and part love letter to awesome films, Lessons from the Screenplay aims to be a fun way to learn more about your favorite films and help us all become better storytellers. I’ll be releasing new videos every couple weeks, and taking suggestions about what scripts I should look at in future episodes.

Épisode 35 - A Quiet Place — How to Write Sound into a Screenplay

31 août 2018

Listen to our podcast episode on A Quiet Place: https://apple.co/2JygZH0 Sound always plays a particularly important role in the horror genre, but A Quiet Place takes this a step further, making sound itself a key element of the story.

So in this video, we investigate how Annihilation takes biological, existential concepts and translates them into narrative elements. We explore how these are expressed in every element of the story, from the characters, to the environment, to the monsters that inhabit it. And we examine how subverting one of the fundamental elements of character creates an experience that is truly alien.

Épisode 41 - Searching — Reformatting a Thriller

8 février 2019

Listen to our new podcast “Beyond the Screenplay” wherever you get podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-screenplay/id1451724425 Listen on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/beyondthescreenplay Support this channel at: http://patreon.com/LFTScreenplay LFTS Merch: https://standard.tv/collections/lfts Like LFTS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lessonsfromthescreenplay/ Follow me at: http://twitter.com/michaeltuckerla From the first frame of Searching to the last, everything the audience sees happens on a computer or phone screen. While the plot of Searching is fairly conventional, this storytelling approach is used to enhance the mystery and elevates the film to a nail-biting thriller. This video dissects how the screenwriters made the film emotionally compelling by ensuring the designing principle, theme, and story were perfectly in sync. It investigates how they adjusted traditional screenplay format to convey a plot that takes place entirely on screens. And explores how they took something as simple as typing a text message and used it to reveal character.

Épisode 44 - One Marvelous Scene — Spider-Man: Homecoming

At first glance, this scene could be straight out of any high school comedy, especially since the film was intentionally modeled after the John Hughes high school comedies of the 80’s. But being in a superhero film, and following a huge revelation in the story, it is also a scene of real tension—three characters trapped in car, trying to hide some really big secrets. So in this video we explore why the twist that sets the stage for the scene is so effective. We examine how the characters’ secrets are teased out in a way that keeps the scene dynamic. And we look at the importance of crafting clever obstacles to put in the way of your characters.

Épisode 45 - Minority Report — When the Story World Becomes The Villain

31 mai 2019

Listen to our podcast episode in which we dive deeper into Minority Report http://bit.ly/2WPtJSM: Patreon: http://patreon.com/LFTScreenplay Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lessonsfromthescreenplay/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/michaeltuckerla LFTS Merch: https://standard.tv/collections/lfts Get your first 31 days of CuriosityStream for free by going to https://curiositystream.com/LFTS Phillip K. Dick is well known for inspiring some of the greatest story worlds ever put on screen, and Minority Report is no exception. But the design of the technology isn’t the most important part of the story world. The concept of Precrime—arresting people before they’ve actually committed a murder—is the important part of Minority Report’s story world; the futuristic cars, jetpacks, and illogically transparent screens are just cool. In this video we compare three versions of this story—Philip K. Dick’s original short story from 1956, Jon Cohen’s 1997 script, and Scott Frank’s final script—to explore how each tries to establish the philosophy of the story world. We look at how they attempt to persuade the audience to believe in the system of Precrime, and examine how the story world itself becomes the antagonist of the story. Let’s take a look at Minority Report. ## Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JgxdY1zV2s&ab_channel=BAFTAGuru https://cinephiliabeyond.org/minority-report-steven-spielbergs-proof-dont-need-sacrifice-substance-produce-spectacle/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RsWBFd-U8&ab_channel=Cinemusic7888 https://www.scriptmag.com/features/interview-screenwriters-minority-report-jon-cohen-scott-frank ## Credits: Produced by: Michael Tucker (https://twitter.com/michaeltuckerla) Written by: Brian Bitner (https://twitter.com/BrianBitner) Edited by: Alex Calleros (https://twitter.com/alex_calleros) Become a channel member here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCErSSa3CaP_GJxmFpdjG9Jw/join Check out my kit, from screenwriting books to gear: https://kit.co/LFTS/screenwriting-books LFTS Recommended Reading List: https://www.lessonsfromthescreenplay.com/reading-list/ Translate this video: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=QbMPjas_rRU Thanks to Diego Rojas for composing original music for this video and this channel!

Épisode 46 - The Hidden Structure of Before Sunset

19 juillet 2019

Listen to our podcast episode on Before Sunset: https://apple.co/2YX6Euk The “Before Trilogy" is, in my opinion, one of the greatest gifts of modern cinema. Three films, each separated by nine years, that together tell a beautiful and brutal story of what love means as we progress through life. All three films have an unusual form—comprised almost exclusively of lengthy conversations between the two central characters, Jesse and Celine. So in this video we break Before Sunset into five acts and dissect each one to uncover the invisible structure that keeps eighty pages of conversation engaging, we look at how the script constructs and then destroys each character’s facade, and we examine how each moment is tied to the central dramatic question.

Épisode 52 - Parasite vs. Sunset Boulevard — The Disillusionment Arc

30 avril 2020

Instead of containing a "positive change arc" as so many films do, this is a story of disillusionment. And despite it being a story from long ago, this disillusionment story bears remarkable similarities to Parasite—a tense social satire about a poor family, the Kims, who con their way into becoming the servants of a rich family, the Parks. In this video we compare the character arcs from both films.

In particular, Iron Man and Captain America have compelling and complete arcs that span the series’ impressive run. This video dives into those arcs to examine how they're introduced as flawed characters, demonstrate how they're forced into extreme and opposite positions at the midpoint of their journeys, and explore how the completion of their character arcs leads to balance and closure for both heroes.
