WRITING FOR EMOTIONAL IMPACT by Karl Iglesias - Chapter 3, Part 1
Concepts that Sell - Like Miles Morales as Spider-Man - But Why?
On today's episode:
- Mike Roe: screenwriter and journalist at LAist
- Will Marlowe: screenwriter, film school faculty member, and host of the Mechadragon podcast
- ...and Jay Sherer: author of the time travel novel, TIMESLINGERS
We dig deeper into Karl Iglesias's book, WRITING FOR EMOTIONAL IMPACT. Using Karl's thoughts as a jumping off point, we discuss the techniques writers use to elicit emotions, and the importance of emotion in storytelling.
This week, it's all about how to "punch up" concepts to make them: (1) more uniquely familiar, and (2) promise more conflict!
