Writing A Script: How To Arc Character?

#script #writing #moviemaking #filmmaking

One method is through a series of increasingly intense provocations.

The function of those provocations is to incrementally reverse the character.

In THE GODFATHER (1972), Michael undergoes a series of increasingly intense provocations, which gradually change him.

So that the hero is a different creature in the end to what he is in the beginning.

That, however, is a linear reversal. Commonly, the provocations (and therefore reversals) are stage-gated between other processes.
