How do we impact the audience in a personal way ?

• Phrases like “i am sad” or “i am lonely” can be emotionles, as the audience does not know how exactly you feel
• Describe the process and situation
• Try to connect with the audience in a personal way , by explaining the scenario
• The setting also plays a important role by stating what you did and what led you to feel this way (angry, sad , anguish)
• Relate to what you say

Screen writer = storyteller
We have to figure out what the audience wants and connect that and tell it to them .
The cinematic experience is not just made up of words you might put on paper, but the audiences emotional reaction to that information.
The writer’s job is only to connect: take something and connect it to the audience.
- Story
- Emotions
- Themselves
- Their unique vision
- The material
- The drama
- Others

Audience want to be transported by a screenplay.
What we are aiming to connect to the audience in an emotional way
Inside yourself:
- Everything you learn about other people is already in you.
- Now you need to figure out how you are going to connect with your audience.

What do you look for in a story?

• something that you as the audience can identify .
• good stories are born in the heart and not in the head .

EXPERIENCE

• All people have fragments of stories
• These potential ideas prompt your desire to know more
• We need to respond emotionally and intellectually to what you heard
• Good stories are born in the heart, no to the head
• Put yourself in the role of the audience and provide what you like in the movies to the audience you are relating you.
