1. 10 Steps to Every Story - INTRO: Hi, I'm Jordan Mila, a prolific writer who
has produced movies, TV shows, books, and
other published works. And in this course, I've
broken down story structure into ten steps that you can
use for any type of story. These ten story steps
will help to make any creative writing
easier and faster. These ten steps can
help you write and ensure your story will
always move forward. Throughout this course, I'll break down story
structure and use examples from
critically acclaimed and commercially
successful movies, TV shows, and books. These ten story steps push me through the
times when I get stuck and allow me to brainstorm new plot points
from my characters. I hope this course
inspires you to keep you excited and write your
story until it's finished. Now, if you're ready to write,
then let's get started.
2. Set The Tone From The Start SS: The first step is to set the tone from the
start of your story. In your opening scene, you want to introduce the
protagonist or the antagonist. The first scene of jaws is
the first shark attack. Even though we don't
see the shark, we are being introduced to
the antagonist right away. In the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and
the sorcerer Stone. Valdemort is defeated,
and the baby who survives the attack is dropped off at the Dursleys house by Dumbledor. In Raders of the Lost Dark, we are introduced to Indiana
Jones as an adventurer, as the movie opens on him getting an artifact
out of a cave. On his way in and
on his way out, he avoids poisonous darks
and a giant boulder. My favorite episode of
the office is the Injury, written by Mindy Ceague. In this episode, the first
scene hooks us in right away. When Michael calls the
office and says he needs help because he burned his
foot on a George ormanGrill. The scene gets even better when Dwight races to go
rescue Michael, and then he crashes
his car into a pole. Within 3 minutes, two members of the office are now hurt,
and hilarity ensues. Best superhero films have
excellent opening scenes. In the first 4
minutes of ironman, Tony Stark is having
fun in an army truck, drinking and taking photos
with soldiers when Boom, the army truck in front of him gets blown up and they
are under attack. Then Tony Stark gets kidnapped. That's the start of an excellent first scene and great story. Another great superhero scene
is from the first X men, when we see Magneto
as a little kid bending metal to try and
get back to his parents, when they are taken away from him in a concentration camp. The opening makes us feel for the antagonist of the movie, and this scene was so good, they did the scene again
in X Men first class. From the start of your story, you want to set the tone
and hook in the audience. In the dark night,
in the first scene, we are introduced to the joker, and we are hooked by a six
minute bank robbery scene. Whatever your genre, you
want to set the tone. If you're writing a comedy, you want to make your audience
laugh from the very start. One great comedy opening is from National Lampoon's
vacation from 1983, written by John Hughes. This is the first of
several vacation movies. We are introduced to Clark
Griswold and his son Rusty for the first time when Clark tries to trade in his
car for a sports car. But by the end of the scene, the car dealership has
crushed his old car, and Eugene Levy
convinces Clark to buy a new model of the same
car they just crushed. This first scene sets the tone
for the rest of the film. Before moving on, jot down
some ideas for an opening that introduces your hero or villain and sets the
tone for your story.
3. Writing Terms SS: Before moving on, here's some riting terminology
that you should know. Protagonist. The protagonist
is the hero of your story. It's your main character and the person who
we're rooting for. The antagonist is the villain, the entity that's
fighting against your hero and causing
them a lot of problems. I want to cover a few more writing terms that
I think will help break it down even more and make it easier for you to write. Beat. A beat is a moment
or action by a character. For actors, when
they read a script, beats help them determine how
to act in a given moment. A group of beats
is called a scene, and usually a scene takes
place in one location. When your character moves
to a different location, it becomes a different scene. Your very first scene should
set the tone for the rest of the story and pique the
interest of your audience.
4. Who What Why Where When SS: Okay. After you have an exciting scene from the
start that sets the tone. That is time to introduce your main characters
and get to know them? This is step two. For your audience
to stay on board, answer these questions in
the beginning of your story. Who, what, why, where and when? Who? Who is the story about? Who's the protagonist? Who's the antagonist? Who else are the
main characters? What is the story about? And what is the goal of
your main characters? Why? Why is your audience
interested in this story? And why are the characters
involved in their goal? Where does it take place? Paint the world and
setting of this story. Lastly, when does this story take place? Is it modern times? Or is it 100 years ago? Or is it 100 years
into the future? Let us know if it's past,
present, or future. If you're writing a book,
you should have answers to all these questions in
the first few chapters. If you're writing a screenplay, then answer all these questions
in the first ten pages. Whatever you're writing,
the audience needs to know the answers to these questions in the beginning of your story, so it's easier for
them to follow. You want to set up
your main characters. Think about their
wants, their problems, and the world they live in
now before it all changes. In Harry Potter and
the sorcerer stone, Harry has a terrible life with the Dursleys who taunt him
and treat him so unkindly. He lives in a cupboard under the stairs and has no idea
of what's about to come. In home alone, Kevin wants
to get away from his family. In the first 10 minutes, we see him in constant
conflict with them. Kevin tells his mom, everyone
in this family hates me. His mom replies, then maybe you should ask Santa
for a new family. He replies, I don't
want a new family. I don't want any
family. Family suck. I hope I never see
you jerks again, and he wishes they
would disappear. Setting up how he'll soon get his wish and he'll
be home alone. The pilot episode of the
Marvelous misses Mazel. We see Muriel Masels
pretty perfect life, her marriage, her family, and her upscale apartment
on the upper west side. She seems to have
everything under control. Act one is all set up for everything that will soon
be crashing down on her. As much as you can, find
ways to show don't tell. The pilot episode of the Marvelous misses Mazel
does a great job at this because we follow and discover the main characters world
as she goes about her day. You ever write a character saying something the
audience needs to know, see if you can find
a way to show it. This is called show don't tell. For another great example, what's the second
scene of Iron Man? We are told of Tony
Stark's history, but it's also shown to us with pictures and magazine covers. We find out Tony's dad was a titan in the
weapons industry, and Tony is a genius. But it's presented very
quickly at an award ceremony, and we have already
been introduced to Tony Stark through an
excellent opening scene. In general, a good
guideline when setting up your story is you want to meet all your mean characters
who will forward the story. In the first 10 minutes
of meet the parents. We meet Greg, his girlfriend, Pam, and her parents,
Jack and Dina. We'll meet the rest of
Pam's family later, but for now, we know the four
most important characters. Ben Steller and Robert Dio are the most essential
to the story. You want to give each character a strong introduction and make them distinct
and interesting. Make sure your characters have a specific attitude and
no one sounds the same. If they do sound similar right
now for your first draft, it's okay because this is something you can
fix in later drafts. Don't make it too
hard on yourself. The most important
thing right now is to keep moving
forward with your story. To help you develop your
characters and set them up, I've added a character
questionnaire that will help you discover
your characters even more. Brainstorm and write down
all your main characters. What is your life like right
now before it all changes? Also, think about their
wants and their problems.
5. Inciditing Incident SS: After you set up your story, your main character will
experience an insting incident. This is the thing
that will forever change their lives and
push her story forward. In the hunger games, we learn one boy and one girl
from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the hunger games where they must
fight to the death. Katina sister is
selected for this, but tins decides to
take her place instead. In Harry Potter and
the sorcerer stone, mysterious letters
start coming to the house that Harry is
not allowed to open. Then Haggard comes to the house and informs Harry
that he's a wizard. Home alone, a storm causes all the electricity to go
out at McCallister house, and the whole family is
running light to the airport. They leave the house and forget that Kevin is still
in the attic. Kevin's mom doesn't
realize he's not with them until they
are on the plain Paris. In Zoolander, it's
Derek Zoolander losing male model of
the year to Hansel. Derek has won three times in
a row, but not the fourth. This makes Derrick wonder if he still cut out to
be a male model, and him losing makes him want to retire from the male
modeling world. In most origin superhero movies, the inciting incident will be the thing that will give them their powers or make them use their powers
to save the world. In Spider Man, Peter Parker gets bitten by
radioactive spider. In doctor Strange, Steven is
a neurosurgeon who gets into a car accident that
will prevent him from using his hands and
operating ever again. Wonder woman, Steve Trevor
crashes in the water of Themscara AKA
Paradise Island. Diana dives into the
water to save him. This will forever change her world for the
rest of her life. Your main character doesn't
necessarily know that the inciting incident will rock the world and push them
in a new direction. In the guns, the setup is about a group of
friends who have to move away from
each other when they find a treasure
map in an attic. The treasure map will
push them into adventure. After the inciting incident, the hero will often
hesitate to accept change. Change is necessary for life, but that doesn't
mean people like it. Your hero may be latching
onto their old world, even though it's best for
them to enter a new world. In Ty story, what he doesn't like Buzz and wants
him to go away. They don't become friends
until much later in the movie. One of my favorite
episodes of Parks and Recreation titled Andy
and April's Fancy Party. We find out the reason
for the party is that Andy and April are getting
married at the party. It's a surprise to everyone, when the main character
Leslie Nope finds out, she spends most of her time
at the party trying to dissuade April and Andy because they've only
been dating for a month. But as any Parks
and Rec fan knows, April and Andy are
perfect for each other. In the mask, the inciting
incident is when Jim Cary's car breaks down
and he finds the mask. He almost puts the
mask on right away, but hesitates when
the cop spot him. It's not until he's back in his apartment is when
he puts the mask on. I wonder woman, we find out what's going on
outside of the island? Steve Trevor is wrapped
in the Lasso of truth and talks about the
circumstances of World War two. This triggers Diana
to want to leave the island for the first
time and save the world. But Diana's mom doesn't
want her to leave. And this will bring us into Act two when the hero
enters a new world. Write down some ideas for
the inciting incident. What's that thing that
will forever change your main characters
life and then think about how they
might hesitate to change.
6. Ebrace Change SS: Act two starts. When you hear, let's go of their old
ways and their old world, and they decide to take
action and embrace change. Many times, Act two will be the start of a brand new
world for your protagonist. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy
is not in Kansas anymore. Everything in Act one was back home in Kansas and not in color. But now in Act two, Dorothy wakes up in
a brand new world, filled with color
and new characters. In the hangover, this is when the guys
can't remember what happened last night
and they need to explore Vegas to find
their friend Doug. In Home Aalone two
Lost in New York. This is when Kevin
gets in New York. In the original Home Aalone, this is when Kevin
realizes he's home alone. Wonder Woman, Diana
leaves her home for the first time and is now on
a new adventure with Steve. In Act two of the Hunger Games, tins leaves her home in District 12 and
enters the Capitol. She now prepares to fight and will enter the Hunger Games. In Act two of Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry leaves the
DursleyFamily home and enters the wizarding world. Your hero doesn't need to
leave their world physically, but they need to have
a new way of thinking. They will meet new characters and build new relationships. In the fault in our stars. The two main characters
stay in Indianapolis, but Hazel and Augustus start
a relationship after they meet each other in
a support group and bond about literature. To keep the story
moving forward, think about their goals. If they had one goal in act one, they might have more
goals in Act two. With embracing
change and meeting new characters also
brings in B stories, which is another subplot. Many times, but not always, a B story is a love story. Wonder Woman, Diane
and Steve flirt a little bit as they set
sail over the ocean. In Bridesmaids, Annie
gets pulled over by Officer Rhodes and meets
him for the first time. In Spider Man, Peter Parker
is in love with Mary Jane, and Mary Jane falls in
love with Spider Man. Your Be story does not
have to be a love story. It usually involves
another character and gives us a break
from the A story. You can also have more than a best story too if you
have several characters. You can have a C story, a D story, story, et cetera, but make sure your
a story doesn't get lost. Keep the A story focused. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's a story and
goal is to get home. But as she meets the scarecrow, the Tin Man, and
the cowardly lion, they get their own goals, which become the B story, C story, and D story. The scarecrows goal
is to get a brain. The Tin Man wants a heart, and the cowardly
lion wants courage. Okay. Think about your
heroes new world, and how are they changing
externally and internally? Also, write down their goals and brainstorm some
possible B stories.

8. Entertainment Expolosion SS: Once your hero has embraced
change and entered Act two, think about all the ways you
can entertain your audience. These are the pages
that are the most fun. And whatever your genre is, you want to showcase your
genre in these pages. If you're writing a comedy, pump up the funny
in these pages. In bridesmaids, the most memorable scenes happen
in this section. Like when Maya Rudolph
and the other Bridesmaids have to go to the bathroom
and they can't hold it. Maya Rudolph has
to go number two in a designer dress in
the middle of the street. In the hangover, the
three main characters travel Cos Vegas and act two in search of
their friend Doug. And they meet a wild
cast of new characters, including Jade, Leslie
Chow, and Mike Tyson. You're writing a
horror, the antagonist will probably start killing
or haunting characters. If you're writing an adventure, then launch your hero
into the adventure. In Harry Potter, all
these magical things are happening is Harry
enters Hogwarts, and we're shown all
the awesome things that Wizards can
do in this world. Get super creative
in these pages. You do want to push
your story forward, but you also want to
entertain the audience. This is the section
where we also get the most quotable
lines and moments. I meet the parents.
Everything Greg tries to do to impress
Pam's parents, just goes wrong and
backfires on him. During dinner, Greg
is caught in a lie and he talks about how he used
to milk his sister's cat. Greg says, You can milk
anything with nipples. Jack replies to Greg,
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me? These pages are always fun for the audience. But they might not be
fun for your hero. We laugh at Greg and
meet the parents, but he's not
laughing at himself. He just wants
things to go right. In these pages, keep the
promise of the premise. In the hunger games, the premise is about kids who
kill each other. This is where the kids
start killing each other. In warm bodies, the
promise of the premise makes the story different than
every other zombie story. The premise is a love story
between a zombie and a human. This is the section where we see our the Zombie start to fall in love with
Julie the human. In parks and recreation, Andy and April's fancy party, there's a ton of great jokes and characters that make us laugh. But Andy and April
constantly remind us what they're all here
for, which is the wedding. For the first half of t two, brainstorm several entertaining
moments and have fun.
9. Midpoint SS: After delivering
on the promise of the premise about halfway
through your story, your hero will hit the midpoint, and this is a major
turning point. In the Godfather, the midpoint is when the Godfather's
oldest son, Sonny is shot and killed. Sonny was next in line to be the next godfather of the
family, but not anymore. Now it falls to the youngest
son and protagonist Michael. This moment marks a total shift in Michael's involvement
with the family business. When the story started, Michael had nothing to do
with the family business, but now he's next in line
to be the Godfather. Think about what's
the major thing that happens halfway through your story that could shock your main characters
and elevate the story. In Jurassic Park,
the midpoint is when the tyrannosaurus wrecks
escapes the gates and attacks. Our heroes thought
the park was safe, but now it's definitely
not safe anymore. In Jaws, the townspeople think Jaws is dead as they kill
the Shark in Act two A. But Sheriff Brodie and Matt
don't think it was Jaws. The midpoint is Jaws comes
back with a vengeance and kill someone on the beach when the beach is more full of
people than ever before. And Sheriff Brodie almost
loses his son to the shark. Something has to be done about the Shark situation right now. The Midpoint Toy Story is when Woody and Buzz
are taken by Sid, the kid who mistreats his toys. They enter Sid's house, which is the opposite
of Andy's house. In Diehard, John McClain starts killing bad
guys in Act two A, but at the midpoint, Hans
Grouper finds out who John is. In the Grapes of Wrath,
the Joad family reaches the destination of California only to find out they
have been deceived. California does not have the jobs and prosperity
that they were promised. In psycho, the midpoint is
the famous shower scene. And when Norman Bates kills the hero that
we were following? The movie takes a complete turn after our first
protagonist is dead. A similar beat
happens in Gone girl. In the first half of the
movie, the girl is gone. But now she comes back
and the story changes. We all thought her husband
might have killed her, but that can't be the
case now if she's alive. Spend time on figuring out
what your midpoint is. If you're having trouble, think, what is the biggest thing
that can happen here? What is the one thing that
creates the most conflict.
10. Amp Up The Stakes Until New Low SS: After your midpoint, amp up the stakes and conflict against your main characters
until your hero reaches a new low. Amp up the stakes. You want to raise the stakes
in conflict even more. As they say, let the
**** hit the fan. Let's look at the pilot episode of the Marvelous misses Mas. In the first half
of the episode, Midg's life is pretty stable, and she has it altogether. She thinks her husband is faithful and her
marriage is good. But the midpoint is when
her husband bombs onstage. Midge is so supportive
of her husband, Joel. But after Joel bombs onstage, all the **** hits the fan. After Joel and Midge
get back home, Joel starts packing
up Midg's suitcase, and he reveals to
Midge that he's been cheating on her
with his secretary. Midge was planning a huge dinner the next night with all
her family and the rabbi. But she can't go through
with it now because Joel is leaving her
and not coming back. From this point on, everything
is crashing down on Midge. To make things worse,
Midg's parents blame her for Joe leaving. Midge has no one on her side. In Psycho, Norman Bates
is winning as his lies, let him get away with murder. In these pages, things
are falling apart for your hero internally
and externally. A lot of times
relationships are tested, friends and family start
to question one another, and heroes are losing
control of the situation. In the matrix, the team gets
double crossed by Cipher, one of their own team members, and two of their team
members are killed. Then their leader
Morpheus gets kidnapped. In Jurassic Park, Alan and the kids are separated
from everyone else, and the dinosaurs are
starting to kill people. However, you can, keep finding ways for the
antagonists to win. Alien, the alien keeps
growing more and more. It kills crew
members one by one, including the
captain of the ship. The more people the alien kills, the bigger the alien gets. The crew tries to go after
the alien, but nothing works. The alien is getting
more and more powerful. Keep thinking about how
the antagonists can win until your hero has reached
their lowest point possible. This is called the
A is lost moment. In the hangover,
the Wolfpack wins enough money to buy their
friend Doug back for Mr. Chow. But when they exchange
the money for Doug, they get the wrong Doug. In the wedding singer, Julia goes to Robbie's house
and finds Linda. Julia thinks Robbie and
Linda got back together. When Robbie goes
to Julia's house, he thinks Julia actually
wants to marry Glenn. But Julia really wants
to be Miss Robbie Hart. She doesn't want
to be Julia Gulia. I wonder woman, Diana thinks General Eric London Roh
is Aris the god of War. But when she kills London Ruff, she finds out it's
the wrong guy. The war is still going on, and Ares is still out there. In alien it's when Ellen Ripley has no
one else to help her. She's all alone in the ship, her and the alien. In Bridesmaids,
Annie is fired from the jewelry store and is kicked out of her apartment
by her roommates. She then throws a tantrum
at Lilian's bridal shower. Lilian then kicks Annie out of the shower and the wedding. Annie is no longer
the maid of honor. Making this, the A is lost. During the first
half of your story, you're introducing
characters, but now you may be
losing characters. Often in all is lost moments. Characters close to
your hero will die. In Dodgeball, Vince
Ba and his team, the average Joes, Lose their dodgeball coach
Patches O Huhan. Happy Gomor Happies
Mentor Chubbs Peterson dies after seeing the alligator
that took his hand away. In the hunger games, tins
friend and companion, Ru gets killed off. In Star Wars, Luke
loses Oan Konob. Towards the end of c two, relationships may be ending, and family and friends
may be killed off. All the plans your hero has
made may fail epically. These are often the
hardest pages to write. So if you're having
trouble writing them, know that most writers do. Many times after I
write my first draft, I spend much of my time
on my second draft rewriting and adding
conflict to these pages. In these pages, think about how to make your
protagonist lose. At the end of Act two,
your hero should be worse off than when the
story started. Okay.
11. The Comeback SS: After the A is lost moment, your hero has been beaten down, but they are still alive, and where there's a
will, there's a way. It often helps to think about these pages as the comeback. Give your character hope
and prepare for the finale. Your team will assemble
and work together here. In the Incredibles, Violet helps the family escape
from syndromes layer, and they decide
to fight syndrome together for the first
time as a family. Before this, Mr. Incredible was working alone and hiding it from his
family, but not anymore. Now, everyone is a part of it. Alien, Ripley decides to
self destruct the spaceship. There's no way she's letting
the alien get to Earth. She'll fly out on an
escape pod and let the alien blow up in the
spaceship behind her. In the matrix, the
comeback is when Neo and Trinity go
and save Morpheus. Sometimes, your hero
will join forces with someone else they didn't
get along with before. So they can take
down a common enemy. In warm bodies, the zombies
and the humans join forces to take down the
bonies In Independence Day, it looks like the world is over. The aliens are going
to destroy Earth. But one little comment made by Jeff Goblom's father makes Jeff Goblm think of an idea
that could save the world. In these pages, you want to give your hero a small glimpse of
hope after the experience, they're all is lost moment. In the Marvelous misses Mazel, Midge goes back to the comedy
club where her husband bombed hours before so
she can get her Pyrex. When she's there, the
mic becomes open, and Midge drunkenly
stumbles to it and tells the audience about
how her husband packed up her suitcase
and left her. He makes the audience
laugh and wins them over. She's not really
trying to do so, but the manager of the club, Susie sees that this woman is something your husband isn't. Midge is naturally funny. After her so called set, Susie goes from stranger to Midg's new manager and friend, the only person who will
truly be on Midg's side. Today, write down all
the preparation steps that your hero is
taking for the finale.
12. The Big Event SS: The middle of Act three is
where you have your big event. This is the section where
you pin your protagonist and antagonist against each
other for the final fight. Focus on the big event or mission that your
heroes must win. In Happy Gomors the
PGA championship. In every Rocky movie, it's the fight between Rocky and the villain
of that movie. Pretty much in any sports movie. This is the championship or the biggest game the
team has to win. If you're writing
a superhero film, this is the big fight between superhero and super villain. In Spider Man, it's Spider
Man versus the green Goblin. In Iron Man, it's Tony versus his business
partner, Obtain. Wonder Woman, it's Diana
versus Aris the God of War. The entire movie has led to this epic fight
between good and evil. In Whiplash, Andrew is determined to prove he
can do the drum solo, and he does that in
front of everyone. The Parks and
Recreation episode, And April's fancy party. This is where we see Andy
and April get married. The big event that
the entire episode has been leading
to is the wedding. In alien, Ripley thought she
was safe in the escape pod. But she finds out the
alien is there too. Blowing up the spaceship
didn't accomplish anything. Now she has to get the alien
out of the Escape pod. In Independence Day, after our heroes learn how to break
the barriers of the UFO. It's an all out battle between aliens and all of humankind. Even the president of the United States
goes in the battle. Try to have a final surprise
or several of them. And Happy Gilmore, as happy
is about to do his final put, a tower falls and
blocks his shot. Now he has to take the shot
with the tower in the way. And Dodgeball, after
Vince Vaughn gets hit, it looks like the game is over, and Global Jim has won. But then, surprise, we find out Bentler
stepped over the line. The referee calls a penalty. Now, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn do sudden
death dodgeball. The protagonist and antagonist are pinned against each other. If your big event
has already started, this is where your hero will
fight the best of the best. In the hunger games, after Ro is killed, there's only six players left, and they all die one by one. In the very end, it's
only atnus and Pita. The capital tries to kill them both by changing the rules and releasing large mutts that are created by the capital to
use against the Rebels. When tinus and Pita refuse
to kill each other and instead plan a double suicide by eating poisonous berries. This forces the
capital to concede, and they announce that they
have both won the games. T and brainstorm,
your big event, and think about some
twists and turns that could occur
during your big event.
13. Wrap It Up SS: After your big event and
the big bad is destroyed, it's time to wrap up
all your story lines. If you have any B story lines, try to wrap these up as well. If your B story
was a love story, either give your main characters a happy ending or a
not so happy ending. In the Marvelous misses Maz, Midg's old life may be over, but who knew life in comedy
is just about to begin. In the Godfather, we see the complete
story arc of Michael. He went from the person who
didn't want to be involved in the family business to now officially becoming
the new Godfather. In Psycho, Norman Bates is finally found
out for who he is. In Star Wars, a new hope. All the main characters
are given medals, and the galaxy is safe for now until the empire
strikes back. It often helps if you're ending, can circle back to your opening. In Happy Gilmore, we start at the Grandma's house and we
end at the Grandma's house. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy started in Kansas, and now she's finally
back home in Kansas. Eight mile starts
with the rap battle and ends with the rap battle. But we see how much
rabbit has changed. In the beginning,
he froze on stage, but in the end, he makes the
other guy freeze on stage. After you write and wrap
up your story lines, it's time to rewrite and then
get your story out there.
