Podcast 32 - Project: PILOT - Real Stories
Added 2023-11-08 23:28:41 +0000 UTCAn edit combining parts from week 6 and week 7 of my pilot workshop. This is a further exploration of the idea that a good film must always tell two stories at once: the in-world fictional narrative and the real-world emotional arc of the viewer. Ideally, these two stories move on diverging paths. Counter to the conventional view that films provide the chance for the viewer to live through the actions and emotions of the hero, I argue that it's the conflict between the viewer's desires and the fictional events that create the most compelling viewing experience.
