Rabat-Salé
The spirit of Syd Field and other screenwriting gurus have been present in Mekness, a town near Rabat.The teaching is made by Allal El Alaoui who seems more convincing to give lessons on three act structure , themes , loglines and characters .
Actions and reactions are also tackled before academic teachers coming from education .The debate goes so far as the students mention reactions of charcters in movies .From this context ,Allal refers to Robert McKee’s statement that says ‘: "In story, as in life, the number of different events that can happen to a human being is limited. You win or lose; you fall in love or out; you suffer injustice or get revenge; you become a better person or worse, you live or you die. The list of actions that might impact a character's life is long... but finite. Reactions, however, are infinite. Ideally, every character is a unique, a one-of-a-kind combination of genes and experience. Therefore, how a particular character reacts to the events of his or her life is unique to him or her. Because reactions are character-specific, their possibilities are endless. More than any other aspect of storytelling, how you handle your characters' reactions spells the difference between originality and cliche, between good writing and great. Fill your story with beautifully told events, then put your energies, imaginings, and improvisations into reactions that are true only for your characters and no one else."
Characters should have values either protagonists and antigonists .Usually at the end of the movie , protagonist is influenced by several values of antigonist and verse versa .So,values are important to shape and form characters .The debate goes on talking about structure; the spine of any scripts .Before you write, think of your ending of the story and do not write dialogue until you finish your script .
