Tim and Linda will take you through the key elements of transformational arcs and will answer any and all questions you may have on the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this 90 minute free webinar, Linda and Tim will show you how to enhance the emotional journey of your protagonist via the following concepts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish the Ordinary World to give an anchor to the arc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduce the Catalyst in conflict. Establish the vulnerabilities of the Hero and build a fear that serves both character and story.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create Rising Conflict: The rising conflict builds tension and serves as a catalyst for change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Externalize the Internal Conflict: Actions speak louder than words, so use the characters\u2019 decisions, behaviors, and reactions to showcase their evolution. Show how their choices reflect their changing beliefs, motivations, and goals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employ Turning Points: Utilize major turning points in the story to mark significant shifts in the character&#8217;s journey. Each turning point should push the protagonist closer to their ultimate transformation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emphasize the Midpoint: The midpoint of the story often serves as a crucial moment for the protagonist&#8217;s transformational arc. It should be active and dynamic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show Internal Reflection: Alongside external action and conflict, allocate moments for your character to reflect on their journey internally. Use these moments to reveal the character&#8217;s changing beliefs, doubts, and motivations, reinforcing their transformation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climactic Conflict: Build towards a climactic conflict where the protagonist confronts the main obstacle or antagonist. This confrontation should test the character&#8217;s growth, forcing them to apply the lessons they&#8217;ve learned throughout the story.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resolve and New Equilibrium: After the climactic conflict, provide a resolution that reflects the character&#8217;s transformation. It\u2019s the final minutes of the movie and the message your audience will embrace as the credits roll.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By utilizing action, conflict, and structure effectively, you can guide your protagonist through a transformative arc that engages and captivates your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this free webinar as well as a few upcoming ones, we\u2019ll focus on using examples from the following films\/tv shows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse (currently in theaters, coming to streaming soon)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lost City (Sandra Bullock): Currently streaming on various platforms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Succession: Streaming on Max<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us Saturday, August 26 at 10-11:30 am PST for a fun, in-depth, and FREE chat with Tim and Linda.
