Description
There is nothing like a well-drawn nemesis to enliven a screenplay by functioning as a worthy foe to the protagonist and creating the story’s central conflict. In this presentation with Scott Myers, you will learn the key principles to crafting a nemesis who goes beyond the stereotypical bad guy to a living, breathing, and powerful antagonist figure. Learn how to think of the nemesis as a projection of your protagonist’s shadow to create a psychological connection between these two pivotal characters.
