Peter(皮特)专业编剧系列课，第一期圆满结束！第二期5月18日授课

5月11日，Peter老师专业编剧系列课程第一节于北京圆满结束，十几位导演、制片人、编剧和影视相关从业者参与了此次课程。在第一期的课程中，Peter老师首先讲述了剧本写作的大框架，让学员们对剧本创作有了一个全面的了解，也为引入接下来七个周末的课程做出了全面的准备。同学们均表示对后续课程有着满满的期待。

在简短的自我介绍过后，Peter老师首先强调了剧本写作的一些常见误区。在陈述自己的剧本时，新手编剧常常只是一味地叙述剧情，这样会给人造成一种流水帐的感觉，是不会吸引审读人的兴趣的。一个好的剧本，包括你在简要陈述这个剧本时，都应该是有选择、有结果、有悬念的，且不论是一场戏还是整个故事都应如此。

谈到如何让你的剧本更吸引人，Peter老师提到一种“似曾相识的独特性”——即如何让我们的情节、人设和冲突既让观众感到熟悉又与以往的故事有所不同。

对此，Peter总结了一些增加剧本吸引力的要素：

·一个独特的“钩子”

·对于角色可能发生的最坏的事是什么

·角色间的碰撞

·人物与环境的碰撞

·增加额外的元素（例如连环杀手根据圣经中的典故杀人）

·改变传统元素（土拨鼠之日）

·创造一个厉害的激励性事件（这个事件发生意味主人公转变的开始）

·把元素提升到最高的高度（最聪明的杀手、最性感的特工、最可爱的狗）

·给故事加一个倒计时、或一个封闭性环境

·角色处于特殊环境（律政界、时尚界）

·主人公的两难选择

随后，课程进入了故事类型的概述一环。不同于传统类型片，这里的影片类型是根据剧情节奏以及主要角色内心最大渴望区分（爱情、恐惧）而区分的，常见的影片类型分为14种，分别是：动作、奇幻、喜剧、帮派、冒险、恐怖、年代、爱情、犯罪、科幻、侦探、惊悚以及社会题材。其中加粗字体的类型为当前市场上比较受欢迎的类型。

剧本的第一幕，对于介绍清楚故事发生的背景，是非常重要的，一个清晰完整的第一幕应包括你的英雄的日常生活、人物与观众的共鸣、人物面临的挑战、新情况、动机以及冲突。因此在进行剧本创作之前，我们首先需要想好以下几个问题：

·谁是你的英雄或反派？

·他/她开始时的日常生活是怎样的？

·我们为什么会对你的英雄产生共鸣？

·故事始于一个怎样的挑战/机会？

·你的英雄进入了一个怎样的新情况？

·课件的目标或外部动机是怎样的？

·什么样的冲突让这个目标无法实现？

谈到如何制造冲突，Peter告诉大家，一个既合理又吸引人的冲突，应该能让观众感到深刻的共情。例如主人公与父母、权威之间的冲突、被错怪、被暴力霸凌、被误会、自身不可实现的梦想、对孩子和动物的善意、患有长期重大疾病等。

而一个特殊的环境，例如强大的竞争对手、公路寻宝、置身孤岛、跟时间赛跑、以及密室、警匪等，也都是能够提起观众兴趣的好安排。

当然，我们不应拘泥于此，而是要时刻在似曾相识的故事里，设置意想不到的情节点，持续制造冲突，才能让剧本足够吸引人。

至此，Peter老师第一期的专业剧本写作课程告一段落，老师根据课堂内容为学员们留下了作业，提前为第二节课程更加系统深入地讲解剧本创作打下了基础。期待本系列接下来的七节课程，对本系列课程心动的小伙伴们也欢迎前来咨询，为了不耽误获取更多宝贵的知识，报名请从速哦~

学生感言

（向下滑动启阅）

"Peter treats everyone's work as if it were the real business of film. His teaching method is based on practical experience as a professional screenwriter."

皮特老师用电影的行业标准要求每一位学生的作业。 他的讲授是基于真正的专业经验。

"Peter has rich experience in screenwriting and story presentation. He understands what young creators need and will do whatever he can to make you learn."

皮特老师在剧本创作和故事呈现上有丰富的经验。 他理解编剧所需并且非常卖力地让你学会。

"Peter's class demystified screenwriting for me. He broke it down into simple pieces which work together to make a point."

皮特的课为我揭开了剧本写作的神秘面纱。 他将大的步骤分解成为了简单的小模块，这些小的模块相互效力组成了一整部电影。

"I am fortunate to have been one of Peter's students. The workload is challenging,but creativity is the result."

作为皮特的学生我很幸运。 课程的作业量很可观，但是结果是你学会了如何创作。

"Peter's class got me into screenwriting. We did a lot of pitching and theory that made us better at marketing our work. It also helped me let go of my ideas, and made me willing to rewrite until the quality of the script comes through."

皮特的课程让我对剧本写作开始感兴趣。 在课上我们进行了大量的提案练习，以便让我们提高剧本销售的能力。这个课程还让我学会了放下自己对故事的偏见，能够坚持不断地重写直到剧本的品质合乎要求。

"Peter's preparation and explanations made me understand exactly what I need to do to write my ideas in a sellable form."

皮特的备课和讲解让我完全明白了从把想法写成可以卖掉的剧本的过程中我需要做哪些事情。

"Thank you so much for the workshop. I couldn’t be more excited to start putting into practice what you taught us. Please come back more often. I will be there everytime."

非常感谢皮特老师的工作坊。 我已经等不及要开始练习了。 希望他经常开课，我会每次都参加。
