In this Film Courage video interview, Writer/Instructor and Script Consultant Shannan E. Johnson (The Professional Pen) shares how to make writing scenes more memorable. Shannan says it is essential to earn their significance by giving them purpose and connecting them to the larger story. Each scene should have a goal that contributes to the characters' overall objectives. If a scene lacks purpose, it can be eliminated during the revision process. Tension and conflict can be built by complicating the characters' goals or by having the audience possess knowledge that the characters lack. Additionally, visualizing scenes and creating engaging cinematic elements can enhance their impact.
Shannan E. Johnson, a native of Houston, TX, is a former creative executive at The Syfy Channel turned CEO of the first black-owned script consultancy in the entertainment industry, The Professional Pen. The Professional Pen is a writer-centered service provider helping emerging and established creatives develop their stories for the screen.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - [ Ссылка ]
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post [ Ссылка ]
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - [ Ссылка ]
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - [ Ссылка ]
