Читать книгу Writing Screenplays - Paul Peditto - Страница 11

There are numerous stories about love and heartbreak. The key is to understand what moves you in life and whether or not your story will be moving for the audience. What could be more universal than writing about one of your great loves?

• Did you meet someone online? If so, did you lose all sense of reason when you found yourself engaged after only knowing each other for one month?

• Have you ever been so in love that you actually considered murdering someone?

• Would you have shaved ten years off your life to be with a certain person?

• Did you have a whirlwind romance that lasted for six months and then abruptly stopped?

• Were you so much in love and/or lust that you and your romantic interest barricaded yourselves inside a hotel room for one week?

• Were you so in love and/or lust that you couldn’t think straight?

• Had you given up on love and then soon after met the love of your life?

• Did you disappear from your friends and family for a period of time because of your obsession with your new love interest?

• Do you still speak to the person you want to write about?
