Free Screenwriting Resource: Great Scenes

When you break it down, screenwriting is scene-writing. Scripts generally have anywhere between 60–100 scenes, so it’s imperative we know the ins and outs of how to write a solid scene.

But more than that: A solid entertaining scene.

How to do that? One thing you can do is study great movie scenes. Analyze them. What is their point in relation to the plot? What is the scene’s beginning, middle and end? Why are these particular characters in this scene? What is the conflict in the scene?

Ask key questions. Dig into the scene. See how and why it works. Then hopefully some of that knowledge — and magic — will wear off on you.

Go here to access dozens of Great Scenes I have analyzed over the years.

Go here to access links to all of the select group of Free Screenwriting Resources from Go Into The Story.

Each day in August, I’m going to highlight a screenwriting resource available on the blog. Why? Because with over 15,000 posts and 70+ archive topics, I want to make sure readers are aware of the many, many assets available here for reading and research. And they are all free!
