• Develop a powerful Logline and Title
  
  
• Choose one of 10 Genres, each with recognizable traits that will help you write something that is "the same, only different": Monster in the House, Golden Fleece, Out of the Bottle, Dude with a Problem, Rites of Passage, Buddy Love, Whydunit, The Fool Triumphant, Institutionalized, and Superhero
  
  
• Fill in a Blake Snyder Beat Sheet with the 15 key beats for every screenplay: Opening Image, Theme Stated, Set-up, Catalyst, Debate, Break into Two, B Story, Fun and Games, Midpoint, Bad Guys Close In, All Is Lost, Dark Night of the Soul, Break into Three, Finale, and Final Image
  
  
• Use "The Board," the fabled device seen in executive offices all over Hollywood, which allows you to "see" your movie before you begin writing. The Board is broken down into four rows, 10 cards per row for a total of 40 — a good average count for the number of beats in the average movie.
• Row #1 is Act One; the last card in that row, the Break into Two, is your first major turn.
• Row #2 is the first half of Act Two up to the Midpoint. This is where your B Story and Fun and Games cards will appear.
• Row #3 includes your Bad Guys Close In and All Is Lost cards leading to the final major turn, the Break into Three.
• Row #4 concludes your screenplay with the Finale and Final Image cards.
  
  
• Create 40 moveable, numbered, color-coded scene cards that include:
• Heading — such as "INT. JOE'S APARTMENT - DAY."
• Description — such as "Mary tells Joe she wants a divorce."
• Notes — such as "important that Joe doesn't reveal everything he knows."
• Conflict — the >< indicates opposing forces
• Emotional Change — the +/- which indicates how the tone evolves during the scene. (Just like every good movie, every good scene has to have clear conflict and some emotional shift from start to finish.)
• Set-ups and Pay-offs — Set-ups and pay-offs show "growth" and "change" as a hero progresses through the story. Keep track of your set-ups and pay-offs — and even move them around from scene card to scene card.
