2x the info on Saturday---

PART ONE:

Subplots are secondary storylines that either support or contrast the theme of the main storyline. If your theme is a thesis that your protagonist will prove either right or wrong, then the subplots are the different sides of the argument.

They're the pros and cons. Supporting the thesis through one storyline and contradicting it through another enriches the story and generates curiosity about how the protagonist will resolve his dilemma.

What will he choose?
How will it turn out?

Subplots also help give us a better sense of character



1) Subplots can ENHANCE your main story plot.



2) Subplots can UPSET the main story plot.



3) Subplots can be used to SET-UP your main story plot.



4) Subplots can be the MIRROR OPPOSITE of your main story plot.




Join us Saturday afternoon to learn how to create a scintillating subplot that succeed in making a script great.

This three-hour class will also feature a take-home worksheet.
