Character Growth is a Palindrome

I’m trying to make this story have more inevitability. Working from the end, I am identifying each payoff (or potential payoff) and determining where to pepper the set-ups and builds. Yesterday, this pattern emerged.

Many pieces of yellow, college-ruled paper gave their lives for this graph.

The story elements column has been redacted. If for some insane reason you are curious enough to see the real graph, and you’ve already read the script, then email me and I’ll send you the PDF.

  • The Pizzicato Effect

    In classical music, Pizzicato is the plucking of a muted string on a violin. The effect (in my opinion) is the indication of the note for your heart to play.

    This can also be achieved in directing. We do not go to the theater to admire an actor have an emotion. We go to have the emotion for ourselves.

    The Pizzicato Effect is theatre and film in their highest forms. This is what I'm after.
