3 SCRIPTS ANALYSIS
HORROR SCRIPT ANALYSIS
CONFLICT
Conflict is a vital component of drama and script writing. There are three key levels of conflict that makes stories more satisfying. All conflict types operates on a sliding scale; if you exclusively use one, your characters will become flat and your audience disengaged.
EXTERNAL CONFLICT
This is the physical action that occurs on the screen. It's the shoot outs, car chases, thrills and spills that entertain the audiences. External conflict must weigh more heavily in action based movies and slapstick comedy because that's what their core audience seek. Such over external conflict must feature less heavily in drama.
INTERNAL CONFLICT
This relates to the internal chaos and growth of your character. It ultimately relates to the theme of your story and the inner demons of the main character. This is probably the most important type of conflict because it relates to what the character must learn.
INTERACTIONAL CONFLICT
This relates to how the main character interacts with other characters or their surroundings. How do they react when the main character and the villain both want the same thing? Anger, violence, argument or silence?

PLOT / PACING
THE PLOT
The plot is the main events of a play, novel, film or any other similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence.
THE PACING
Pacing is the frequency of exciting events in your screenplay (or in the movie). The more exciting the events are, the faster paced your screenplay. The fewer exciting events, the slower paced your screenplay becomes.
