ACTION
SOFTWARE
Action is what film was invented for. Action
is the epic hero, the one who changes a nation,
who wins the day, who succeeds in life.
This form has the most streamlined structure
of any genre. But it's a lot trickier than it
appears. What may seem simple and straightforward
on the movie screen actually requires careful
planning and extremely creative solutions from
the screenwriter.
Many people think action movies lack character,
plot and theme, but they're mistaken. The best
action films have deep stories, complex characters
and a profound effect on the audience. But these
elements have to be expressed at breakneck speed.
This means that you have to be a superb craftsman
in order to write a top action script.
If you value the idea of a hero, and love to
magnify the hero's power on film, then this
is your form.
With action maps that you fill in to chart
your unique action script, the ACTION SOFTWARE
helps you weave all the elements that make an
original, tightly-plotted action story. At the
click of a button you can reference Truby's
6-hour Action Course for all those character
elements, plot beats, and sub-genres that are
unfamiliar to you. And if you run into a problem
you can't solve, check out the three Action
Film Examples to see how the Action masters
made it work.
