How can 'games' help us write better scenes?
Legacy Episode — Migrated from our original site. Will take time to tidy up!
Stu and Chas turn their attention to a topic that has long eluded them: the game of the scene. We look at how considering the game that characters are playing — its rules, arenas, players, referees, and win conditions — can help you write more dynamic scenes.
This will be a two-parter, and for this half, we talk BLUEY, “The Quiet Game” (from Season 2) and “Phones” (from Season 3), and JOHN WICK 4. We also touch on GAME NIGHT and LIFE OF BRIAN.
Thanks to Chris Walker for editing this episode.
"So the victory condition shifts from who’s the last person to talk to the dad’s got a guess what one to buy and he’s frustrated but they do a good job of actually finding joy in that right."
— Stu Willis | DZ-102: Game of the Scene - Bluey, John Wick 4
