THEME Advanced Worksheet

The THEME Advanced Worksheet breaks down a film, sequence by sequence, to show how the theme is responsible for every action and dialogue of every character. How the theme is responsible for creating each character. How the theme dictates who each character is and how each character changes. How the scenes you need to create are dictated by the theme. How the whole story sprouts from theme. This advanced worksheet shows you how to write to theme.

This advanced worksheets shows you (and therefore helps you write):

  • The protagonist's initial way of thinking (inner challenge) and therefore behaviour, which is a reflection of the bottom end of the theme.
  • The forces acting on the protagonist's way of thinking, causing the protagonist to incrementally change, which is a reflection of changing from the bottom end of the theme to the top end of the theme.
  • The protagonist's final way of thinking and therefore behaviour, which is a reflection of the top end of the theme.
  • The protagonist changing from an old self to a new self and then having to choose between the two (resolving the inner challenge), according to the theme.
  • The characters you create around the protagonist. Some of the characters pull the protagonist to the old self (bottom end of the theme) while others push the character to the new self (top end of the theme). This tells you each character's role (helping you differentiate them) and their dialogue.
  • The antagonist is that character which represents the bottom end of the theme in its most potent form, and is therefore the hardest to pull away from.
  • Supernatural Aids assist moving towards the top end of the theme, and increased alignment with them indicates that the protagonist is increasingly changing (and changing towards accepting the top end of the theme).
  • As the protagonist moves through the theme (learns the lesson / gradually resolves the flaw), so other characters also learn the lesson and resolve their flaw.
  • Breaks down each act into distinct sections, with clear movement progressing through the theme in each act.
  • and much more....this advanced worksheet shows you how to build your story around a theme.
