APPLYING INTERNAL CONFLICT TO THE MAIN CHARACTER WITHIN SCENARIO WRITING IN THE BLANK CANVAS SHORT FILM

Abstract

When a film is being made there is the production phase whithin it that need to be made first. That phase is the pre-production phase where the idea of the film is developed and made into a scenario. Scenario is the script where the scene, place, situation, and dialogs, being arrange to be a dramatic structure. Within that structure there is a storyline, and to make it dramatic there is a need of conflict. There are two types of conflict, external conflict that is a struggle that occurs between a character and outside forces, and internal conflict a struggle that occurs within the character. This final project is mainly focusing on internal conflict for the scenario. I choose to implement a mental illness to the character to give more conflict to the character.
