Conflict at the core of script development feedback

Abstract

In my thesis, I will explore how creative producers can give relevant, constructive feedback during the development of a screenplay through focusing on the different types of conflict. I will look at conflicts as forces of antagonism; as a way of resonance with audience; as ways of creating tension and how all these are dictated by the chosen premise. Understanding the conflict allows the producer focus their feedback, holding the different visions together and remain helpful, new perspective in script development.
