I liked what John Yorke said about the mid point. The establishing of an emotional connection between the audience and the protagonists aim is what I want to explore in the scene I'm shooing from my script.

"Talking on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row, John Yorke explained to Mark Lawson why the midpoint — the thing that happens halfway through the narrative that changes everything — is such an invaluable tool for storytellers:

‘I think the midpoint became more and more significant the more I went on looking at stories. And it’s not just screenwriting; in fact, if you look at A Passage to India it’s the Marabar Caves — everything builds up to the Marabar Caves incident in the middle of the book, then leads away from it…'"

is another really good example, because the first half of is Hamlet's journey to prove Claudius' guilt. Exactly halfway through he proves it, then the second half of the story is "What do I do with it?" And, actually, that's the shape you find in all archetypal narratives.'

So, what do screenwriting students on the online course make of John's emphasis on the midpoint?

J Michael Bradley is an aspiring screenwriter and member of Derbyshire Scriptwriters. In the first exercise in every session of the course John asks students to watch films with a specially devised prompt sheet that encourages them to look deeper and spot the elements that make up the structure of stories, from act breaks to inciting incidents.

From my research into the function of the mid point in 3 act structure and from analysing a few examples from films I've decided that this would be something I'd like to explore in my project because it is somewhere I can experiment with influencing how an audience feels about a character and somewhere to explore ways to plug audiences into the character's aim though use of sound and lighting to suggest emotional states and show inner change for the character

I'm interested in finding ways to divide my frame and to communicate the emotional separation between my two leads. This shot by New York photographer Chellisse Michael uses complimentary colour and the architecture to separate his two models into very distinct spaces. His placing of the models and the stop difference between the lighting of the two also makes it very clear whose scene this is and gives us a sense of their relationship dynamic
