Article Response: Elements of Award Winning Screenplays

Article

Learned Stuff

  • Secondary conflict is just as important as secondary actions in animations. Both give your character a certain layer of depth that, without them, makes your character bland.
  • Have a blend of genres. A plain romantic will be pretty boring to most people. Add some comedy to that romance, and it becomes a movie that pretty much any girl will want to see. Maybe some guys too. I'm not judging.
  • Have a large main interest for the movie. If you change things around, people will get confused.
Opinions
  • I disagree with the whole "have a moral lesson" thing because I know plenty of good movies that don't really have a moral story. 
  • I also disagree with showing your own morals in a movie. I mean, unless you are going for more of an educational or similar type of movie. I feel like morals don't matter when it comes to many genres.
Question
  • What genres of movies tend to be the highest rated? Action? Comedy?
