A Cool Diagnostic Tool for Writers
I learned this recently from a Film Courage video. (Check them out. This lady interviews film writers and teachers of film writing. A lot of what they say is applicable to fiction.)
This a tool to help you chart out the dramatic peaks and valleys of your story.
Step one: Outline your story.
Step two: Decide a scoring system to quantify how dramatic your scenes are. I’m going from 1 to 5 and using little Os because I love Os. Some people use these. –
Step three: Put Os or dashes or whatever next to your scenes.
Step four: Flip the chart on its side, and you have a climax graph. :)
Here’s an un-flipped chart I made for the first three chapters of my novel. (If you turn your device 90 degrees, you can see the climax graph.)
Chapter 1
Scene one O
Scene two O O
Scene three O O O
Scene four O O
Scene five O O O O
Chapter 2
Scene one O
Scene two O O
Scene three O O O
Scene four O O O O
Chapter 3
Scene one O
Scene two O O O
Scene three O O O O O
Personally, I got a lot of bang for my buck out of this. The first chart I made showed me that the highest dramatic point in chapter three was like, two or three Os. And suddenly it hit me that I’d been missing out on the perfect way to add stakes. Just looking at your work at a distance, in visual form, gives a ton of perspective, especially if you’ve been buried in it for months (or years, in my case).

Storyboard Resources
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tjyOG1Hk65Q9v3c7kHwUD01smOV5ptwScTm6Gfng_s8/edit#gid=0
I've been collecting Storyboard Resources for a while and finally had a chance to organize them into a sharable spreadsheet.
To give a quick explanation, there are 4 main sections
YELLOW - Resources
These I can highly recommend
https://movie-screencaps.com/ - website that screencaps movies
https://animationscreencaps.com - website that screencaps animated movies
https://www.sakugabooru.com/post - gifs of animation sequences. It's searchable!
https://www.pureref.com/ - a really cool program where you can put your model sheets into one spot and have a floating window on your desktop
GREEN - Books
These are all the books I've heard are good to read. The Pixar Recommended ones have a star in the right column
RED - Documentaries
These are different videos that I've found that were cool. Some of the awesome ones are
10 Tips on Writing better Dialogue
https://youtu.be/qfQpJxRP8ew
Mike Hill - Jurrasic Park Analysis
https://vimeo.com/165599495
Mike Arndt - Toy Story 3 Lessons learned
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBcwt3QlY_8&ab_channel=MichaelArndt
Film Courage - Youtube Channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/filmcourage
BLUE - Short Films
The blue section is dedicated to short films. There are so many amazing short films out there, but I can never remember their names. So I made this section searchable by keywords
You can go to Edit - Find & Replace

Hope this can help all of you Film Makers, Story Artists and Story lovers 💛

Emotional Intelligence is perhaps the most underrated aspect of filmmaking. It's essential for those whom lead, regardless of what field they lead in and its also essential for artist as it gives them the okay to follow their gut.

Story...
The events of the story are not the story itself.
The story is what is going on inside the protagoist.

Week 3 - What inspired me this week
I get a weekly dose of inspiration from the YouTube channel Film Courage. This site has interviews with screenwriters, directors, actors and other professionals who share what they have learned about crafting stories. Intermixed with this is practically advise for be4ing a professional writer. This channel covers everything from how to pitch a story to how to engage in the community of writers.
If you are interested at all in writing specifically or filmmaking in general, I highly recommend this channel.
