Writing Instructor: Ok Coop, whats your thru-line?
Cooper: Well, its a comedy, I want make people laugh.... through physical humor
Writing Instructor: I still have no idea what type of story you want to tell
Cooper: Like I said my goal is express physical comedy, but there is also also a romance story that will help move it along
Writing Instructor: I still have no idea what this story is really about. How are you going make physical comedy funny with out a more in depth thru-line.
Cooper: Well my thru-line is comedy. If you want I could tell you what happens in the story to see how funny it will be
Writing Instructor: Ok, go ahead
Cooper: (rambles about story)
Writing Instructor: I think your going to have a hard time making this funny without any dialog
Cooper: I will be focusing exclusively on close ups of hands
Writing Instructor: OK, now I'm interested, just hands?
Cooper: just hands
Writing Instructor: Sounds like your just doing this to show me your clever, I hate that. Tarintino does this and I hate him for it. To tell a story you don't have pretend to be so clever, make it simple and really show me how clever your story can be. It's not real writing. Could you tell this story or a more interesting story with dialog and some pan shots. It could work, but I doubt it. Next student.
Cooper: (under his breath) You like the Coen brothers, but not Tarintino well they're both one trick Ponies. I'm sick of getting the high-hat ya hear, your all a bunch of Fancy Pants.
