Steve's 'moment' homework

My moment is the scene towards the end of Toy Story 3 where the group of Andy's toys have been forced into a bin and taken to a garbage disposal site where they fall into an incinerator. As they desperately try to climb up the steep walls of rubbish that are flowing into the molten pit in the middle, they all stop, look at each other and hold hands as they close their eyes ready to embrace their deaths. As the music plays and they near the heat This moment makes you feel very emotional and hits hard as you more thank likely have built a relationship up with these characters from the previous two films.

Steve coombes script writing workshop

• Dialog is not the biggest part of film making, if it doesn't advance the story leave it out.
• Don't be too formal
• Don't keep including name
• Don't have every character behaving same way
• Don't get too artistic with dialog
• Don't be too grammatical, make it seem like human beings are talking
• Don't make it exactly true to life, real life dialog is boring
• Don't do long speeches
• Beware of accents, just
• Don't have too much information in one sentence
• Don't make your characters a mouthpiece for what you think your script is about
• Use dialog that grasps attention but also serves for the story
• The denial "I'm not in love" you know they are
• Think about the most extreme words your character might say, then that will tell you what words they will normally use
• Best use of bad language, full metal jacket - "monsters" talk
• Bad language is always from anger and hate
• Characters need flaws
• Characters are better looking up than down e.g. not billionaire. Little looking at big, poor looking at rich
• Hubris - the characters fate. can have conscious or unconscious choices
• The existential hero is given so many options and choices that he doesn't know what he is
• When looking at characters, what drives them, and what bugs them?
