The team behind Lessons from the Screenplay breaks down the narrative of Prometheus to extract storytelling lessons and explore the kinds of tools writers can use to address various problems in their stories. In particular, we look at the motivation of the central characters, the themes the filmmakers seemed to be interested in examining, and the overall onslaught of themes, rules, creatures, and lore this movie attempts to fit into its two hour runtime.
The BTS team discusses Odysseus' character arc, Nolan's modern approach to crafting a mythological epic, and the story's themes of homecoming, hospitality, and guilt.
The BTS team discusses Spielberg legacy of alien encounter movies, the bombastic action sequences, the performances and character design, and how it all comes together in the film's final moments.
The team behind Lessons from the Screenplay breaks down the narrative of The Dark Knight Rises to extract storytelling lessons and explore the kinds of tools writers can use to address various problems in their stories. In particular, we look at the design of Bane's character, the complicated nature of Bane's plan, and the struggle of balancing so many supporting characters. NOTE: We recorded this with the intention it just be for our YouTube channel, but we ended up not referring to the visuals much in the conversation. Hopefully everything makes sense in a strictly audio form.
