UNDERSTANDING
THE MIND OF THE VILLAIN
To CREATE a compelling villain, you have to understand what MOTIVATES a villain…
SATURDAY, MAY 19th, 2018
9am – 12 noon
at
CBS Radford Studios
4024 Radford Avenue
Studio City, CA 91604
A well-crafted villain (the shadow) increases the depth of a good story. Composing not only the actions of the villain – but crafting the mind of one – is key. A complex, believable villain represents a darkness in us that’s both captivating and important to your audiences own identities and progress in life. Learn the intricacies of the villain, why this archetype is important to a story and human progress, and about creating the mind of a villain that is psychologically and philosophically compelling.
Novelist Brian S. Chan will teach about the many versions and layers of a villain and the use of the universal monomythic plot structure, presenting substantive content and facilitating helpful exercises. This is the second Spotlight Workshop in a series of three that covers the hero archetype, the shadow archetype, and the companion, sage & shapeshifter archetypes.
Who should attend:
Writers, directors, producers, content creators, actors, story analysts, readers, or ANYONE who tells stories!
By the end of this class you’ll:
* Understand the importance of the shadow character and how to make it matter to audiences
* Understand the mind and motivations of the shadow character
* Know the principles and techniques for crafting a well-developed villain’s mind.
PLUS – this will be a great networking event to meet other industry professionals!
