Characters Have To Come First
Thinkpiece Thursday
This week I am busy in Copenhagen so I offer an excellent essay by Patrick H Willems. Â His video discusses the character problems in the latest batch of DC films.
This essay was released before Wonder Woman, which has come some way to fixing what Willems talks about. With Justice League right around the corner, audiences will be anticipating Wonder Woman’s return.  There is lots of work to be done in the franchise to make the two returning characters and two brand-new characters add and not detract from the sequel.
My own take on Batman: The Dark Knight Rises can be found HERE
Create a visual map for a character’s emotional journey. Pull stories from character rather from rote story structure beats. Some of the largest international media companies, use this in story and character development.
A clear concise guide for writers and producers to have by their side as they embark on a project. It gives a really vital reminder of what is key for story success.
