Topic of this week: THEMES
MMmmm so what's a theme?
The theme is the moral or the message that the director is trying to deliver through the movie ,sometimes it will not be very clear , or won't be shown until the end of the movie, but every movie has a theme, because it's what puts the entire movie together and what make it go deeper, therefore it should be well considered while writing the script right from the beginning.
what is the moral premise??
The moral premise is a one sentence description of the physical and psychological arcs of the main characters.
which is : VICE leads to DEFEAT
and VIRTUE leads to SUCCESS
so next time we are building characters we have to take it into consideration, for example let's take THE MATRIX in regards to NEO:
SELF DOUBT leads to DESTRUCTION
and BELIEF leads to LOVE
