The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire strikes Back is the sequel to The first Star Wars movie and the second part to the Star Wars original trilogy, continuing the Story of Luke learning the force and his family ties with Leia and Darth Vader; Han and Leia's relationship and the war between the rebel alliance and the Galactic Empire led my 'The Emperor' and 'Darth Vader'. A particular scene that introduces a character in a very comical way, who later becomes the 'great warrior' who Luke speaks of is very interesting and makes it quite a shock for the audience.
Luke meets Yoda:
In this film Luke grows the most in how perceives 'The Force' and the Jedi when he trains under Yoda. His introduction to Yoda is very comical as he learns about Luke without revealing himself: like how Luke openly judges Yoda , described as 'creature' in the script, not being the 'great warrior' called Yoda that Obi-Wan described as well as not being able to help him Luke has impatience to learn the force as Yoda says, 'I cannot teach him' and 'much anger in him, like his father' when conversing with the force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The Dialogue and first meeting between Luke and Yoda makes Yoda all the more interesting and impressive afterwards because the audience becomes surprised when finding out this 'creature' is Yoda.
The scene starts with Luke wondering about Yoda while his X-Wing Fighter is still trashed during a crash landing previous to this scene during the film and powers up Artoo with a power cable while picking some processed food as his lunch.
What's interesting is Luke senses another presence possibly with use of the force as he says 'Although... There is something familiar about this place... I feel like-' Afterwards Luke is cut off with -
'You feel like what?' the script gives directions on both Luke and Artoo being surprised at this comment and Luke reaching for his lightsaber and also describes Yoda as blue instead of green. In the final edit of the film Yoda says nothing and instead Luke just turns around and points his blaster at 'Yoda' described as a 'creature' in the script as he has not revealed himself as Yoda. In the script, the introduction to Yoda makes him seem more threatening and the script gives directions to Luke putting away his weapon 'although he doesn't really understand why,' as it says in the script. Yoda then behaves weak and stupid which is inconsistent so the director changed the dialogue and actions of Yoda to not respond and for Luke to only use his blaster rather than his lightsaber. In the film we see Yoda act scared and threatened by the blaster which further makes the audience think that this isn't Yoda.
The dialogue continues after Luke puts away his blaster as instead of thinking the 'Creature' (Yoda) could be a threat he sees the creature as even less of a threat and underestimates who he is as we see from the dialogue between them.
Yoda asks '... Why are you here?' and Luke replies with 'I'm looking for someone'.
Yoda then says 'Looking? Looking? You've found someone I'd say. Heh? Yes!' ,though this is shortened in the movie to just 'Looking? Found someone- etc.' to make him have a weird speech pattern because he is an alien. But the meaning to this line shows that Yoda is starting to give Luke a hint as to how he can find the person he is looking for. Luke still continues to brush off the creature saying a sarcastic 'yeah...' as to imply couldn't help.
Yoda then says he can help Luke but Luke just says he wouldn't be able to showing that even after Yoda gives a direct statement that he could help Luke still shows a bias that this small creature couldn't possibly help him.
Luke then describes the person he is looking for as a 'great warrior' and Yoda's philosophical side shines through his act when he says 'A great warrior?' (shakes his head) 'Not many of those. Wars don't make one great' though changed to 'Wars not make one great' to add the the different speech pattern he is now famous for. This is the first truly intellectual lines from Yoda before Luke knows who he really is. And rather than Luke trying to learn from this, he just laughs to himself.
After this, Yoda really goes for this mischievous type of character when he steals some of Luke's food and then makes a comment on on how bad his food is. Luke immediately gets annoyed and takes his food away from the creature. But Yoda doesn't let up there as he goes into Luke's supply case to rummage for more stuff. Luke takes the supply case away but Yoda finds a 'tiny power lamp' which he seems quite proud of. Luke tries to take it away but Yoda comes out with 'Mine! Mine! Or I'll help you not.' Luke makes a comment about that he doesn't need his help but his lamp because he's gonna 'need it in this slimy mudhole' showing his distaste of the place. Yoda gets offended and says 'Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is.' during this Artoo tries to take the power lamp from from Yoda but he fights him off. The way they acting direction describes the struggle is different to the movie possibly due to the puppeteer work of Yoda and Artoo but the point comes across which is Yoda seems very selfish to continue to put off Luke and also the audience.
Overall this scene between Luke and Yoda is very important as well as funny. throughout the movie it is quite serious as most scenes show dire and hopeless situations of triumphs like Luke fighting the AT-AT. but putting funny scenes with wacky characters can still fit in the plot of the story and is quite impressive because this character later becomes Luke's mentor which makes him even more essential to the story because he helps Luke become what he is now.
Though this could not be done without writing a good character. The weird things Yoda does is very believable because of the fantasy element of the film and the fact that he is an alien. The audience buys it and will laugh even though this act was more likely done to see what Luke's honest self is like and why he wants to use the force. the script didn't give to much direction in the expression and movement of the characters possibly to give the director more creative control and possibly not knowing how they would portray Yoda on screen. This worked out as Luke became uninterested in Yoda and Yoda acts primitive and funny.
Leon: The Professional
Leon is a critically acclaimed film about the relationship between a hit-man that takes jobs to take people out, which we see in the first segment of the film to get context of his capabilities and ruthlessness as well as his affect that he has on his targets as they are all very frightened when they realise they probably don't have a chance against him, and a little tormented 12-year old girl called Mathilda who has been beaten down by life dresses a little older for her age, and first meet with a bloody nose hanging around the staircase of her apartment building with Leon.
Leon and Mathilda's first meeting is very carefully written and executed on screen. In the movie we see a lot of build up to Mathilda with a bloody nose by the stairs before Leon meets her and talks to her. Mathilda is a smoker probably trying to act mature or rebel against her parents though they'd only care because they don't want social services or neighbours to talk to them about their daughter. Her first instinct as Leon walks up the stairs is to hide the cigarette. Leon clearly sees this but walks past her at first then walks back and questions her He was likely overthinking whether he should confront her as he doesn't like confrontation and socialising because he has no friends and is mostly alone. asking 'why'd y'hide the cigarette' she replies with 'so you don't think shitty of me' along some other things but we see that despite not knowing anything about Leon she cares about what she thinks of her. She assumes He is this well adjusted man and doesn't want to be judged by him. But Leon does no such thing and averts his attention to her black eye and questions her about that. She then lies as to not get her father in trouble and Leon seems to understand this so he doesn't go any further and proceeds to leave.
In their second meeting they converse from the same reason in the same place. Leon's first comment seems like he's trying to start a conversation to cheer her up because he starts with a joke. Mathilda doesn't seem to react and makes Leon feel even worse which he then offers a tissue. She is surprised because she isn't used to receiving kindness which is used to make the audience empathise with her more.
From these two meetings leon and Mathilda form a weird relationship before they are forced together from the incident that creates the disruption of the film. They would be more comfortable around each other and Mathilda even offers to buy milk for him as she goes grocery shopping. This because leon was very truthful to her whether it would make her even more depressed she ended up trusting him and liking him a little.
Though the incident being his whole family being killed in their apartment especially his younger brother, who was the only one she cared about, forced them together. When walking down the hallway she sees a man outside her apartment and assumes something must be wrong and then as she decides to walk past her home which was a split-second decision she looks down the hallway of her home to see her dad dead on the floor. Not changing her stride as it describes in the script she continues to move forward towards leon's front door. Leon also happen to be watching the whole commotion that was happening in Mathilda's apartment through a peephole in his front door and now sees this girl with tears running down her eyes, due to fear, at his door, ringing the doorbell.
At this point Leon pauses and doesn't let her in straight away to think of whether to let her in and finally decide to do so. His hesitation shows that he doesn't really like to be involved in these situations because he'd rather keep to himself but the possible death a little girl that he put a smile on opened the door in the end.
In the film this scene was an incredibly tense and powerful scene with the way it was filmed, edited and scored. The expression on her face and a few lines added that weren't in the script from her make you strongly want to help her immediately despite the DEA officers, that have no interest ion the law, probably wanting to kill you for interfering with their work.
Script Writing Research
From the script I understood formatting and content, plot and characters as well as other things that are part of script writing but understanding the audiences reactions to the film is also key. Making research in what people like and should help when script writing because you can aim to write for those people. Reading reviews of films you want to strive towards making are good because you can read what people though was good and bad about it. learning pros and cons are helpful because you can improve off other peoples ideas.
Primary research is can be just as effective as you get peoples honest unfiltered answers to things when you ask them directly.
I have created my own primary research which is a survey that asks each person what genre and types of movies they like some of these examples included specific directors like Martin Scorsese and Tarantino films as well as obvious genre tropes like Fantasy, Science Fiction, Western etc. The other questions related to four movie trailers I attached which were Star Wars The Force Awakens, The Hateful Eight, Warcraft and Dope. The questions asked what they thought of each individual trailer after they watched it and what they like and/or dislike about the plot and characters from what they could tell from the trailer.

The questions asked what they thought of each individual trailer after they watched it and what they like and/or dislike about the plot and characters from what they could tell from the trailer.
Overall I had ten responses to my survey and the most common answer when it came to my first question on genre and directors was High Fantasy relating to films like The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter and Pan's Labyrinth which every respondent answered they'd enjoyed. The second most were sci-fi and animated which were the two other genres besides western and war which got 9 out of 10 respondents answered they'd enjoyed. The other choices between 2 and 6 yeses as possibly people didn't recognise the directors or their films. Western had the lowest score of the choices possibly western films have died out and recent ones are not very popular in this day and age. This could also be because people may not recognise what a western is or what defines the western genre.
From these results I understand that many people like fantasy and sci-fi and Spielberg films. I think these were most voted for because its what people recognise best as opposed to the other choices. In terms of my script that I will write this helps me because I can look into Fantasy films like Lord of the rings and Spielberg films like Jaws to help me write imitating cinematography and character types from them that made them good films.
The second question referred to how people felt about the trailer to Star War The Force Awakens and most were positive like 'I like this trailer because it captures the excitement for new and nostalgic for old.' and 'i like the music, sound effects and spaceship battles' which indicates that this is a good example of a trailer that excites people. There were some comments praising the music: 'i like the music, sound effects and spaceship battles', 'The background music fits very well with the trailer. I like the slow parts have slow mellow music but the action packed scenes have fast paced music' The use of music in a film is something to note when writing my film because I might want to have a certain type of music that elevates the emotion of a scene.
The third also referred to the same trailer but focused on asking about how they felt about the plot and characters from what they can tell from the trailer. Most of the answers were related to this being a sequel to the original trilogy of Star Wars how they felt nostalgic 'good: George Lucas wasn't mentioned that I could see' and 'I like that they got the iconic characters back.' both recognise the old and want it to be similar to the old films. What is more notable is that respondents liked Kylo Ren which is the antagonist of the film which makes me think about whether my film would feature any type of antagonist and if it would need one. If I were to write one it has to be interesting and depending on how they impact the story what type of character I want the audience to see and what I want the audience to feel when they see this character.
The next question is the same as the second but refers to a different films and I used this question and question 3 for all for trailer which fills up all the question in my survey. The trailer for this question is Warcraft a movie based of a popular video game about high fantasy Orcs and Humans being forced to co-exist or start a war for land. The film is very action packed and shows a lot of bright colours similar to that of Lord of the Rings. Most commented on how they liked CGI effects in the film and that it looks quite impressive for animated Orcs. For my film I could try and enter a more surreal as adding effects and edits are quite possible. I would have to learn my own boundaries when it comes to this so I can't be too ambitious but that doesn't mean I have to completely base my script in reality.
Unfortunately not all responses can be resourceful because all the responses of the this question were used in the next question about the characters and plot of Warcraft but the trailer I featured next was a new Tarantino film which is also a western which relates back to the first question. Though many didn't answer that they enjoyed westerns and only half enjoyed Tarantino films most seemed like this trailer and thought it was quite interesting. This solidifies the idea about popularity over what is good. Some were familiar with an actor in the film being Samuel L. Jackson and said his performance was good or bad depending on people's responses. When I'm writing a character maybe I should have a person in mind to play my character or write to fit the person better so it comes off better on screen. People also mentioned the individuality of each of the eight leading characters in the film. 'I like the numbering. Makes characters distinct and unique. Each character seems to have their own persona. A feel for the characters and plot is well developed in the trailer. Who is humourous? what are they doing? etc', 'I like the fact that there are eight different characters and it shows little information about the plot so it leaves me wanting more'. Creating more than one character and having multiple leads who are all interesting in their own right could make for an interesting story.
The last trailer is for a film called Dope which is a slang term for both 'very cool' and drugs like cocaine. this film is about a 17 year old African American high school student who loves 90s hip-hop and is a straight A student accidentally getting involved in with drugs because of a girl he liked. The film is directly based in the 21st century and tries to relate to young Americans of the same age. The trailer feature this funny colourful text and art which is different from the Warcraft CGI but is more doable to my degree when it comes to my film they say its very comical and ads a funny tone to the trailer. Depending on what type of film I want to make this may or may not fit. Respondents also mentioning that the main characters is also one to note. He does a voice over the whole trailer putting his insight on himself and the story of the film. He is very unique and funny and smart.
The overall process of writing a script for a film can be tough because when you want to write its better to plan what you will do to make the best story you could possibly make. This includes research into what others have written. looking into things you like is the best way to start or looking into what types of films you want to imitate in terms of character, genre, story, cinematography, etc. Also understanding what you feel towards those works and what others feel towards those works as well not only can you learn from the film but learn how this affected the viewer because many have different interpretations of a film and like the same things for different reasons and vice versa.
