'Listen carefully to first criticisms of your work. Note just what it is about your work the critics don't like, then cultivate it. Thats the part of your work thats individual and worth keeping' Jean Cocteau
Jacques Thelamaque has said that all filmmakers have passion, focus, commitment and resiliency. and talent.
Vogler's theory about storytelling:
1. Introduce main character, set the scene
2. Give them a problem, obstacle, obsession or addiction.
3. Let the character work out a plan to overcome the problem.
4. Have a moment of doubt before they set out, they may have encouragement from a mentor figure.
5. With a new resolve (and sometimes a magical gift e.g., Ruby Slippers or James Bond's gadgets) they set off
6. Next comes extreme opposition, a battle.
7. They appear to be failing but with a superhuman effort, recover themselves.
8. They win the final battle, they return to their natural self, wiser, stronger, cured and with a renewed self awareness.
