“I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.”
-Luke Skywalker
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
The only way to really touch a large audience is to connect the archetypes in our universal sub conscience with those elements that can be found in EVERY fairytale, myth, legend or religion. Those who do it well, have become phenomenally successful. The stories of those who ignore it, will never be really understood.

Structure: Jaws

A structural overview of Jaws (Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, Novel by Peter Benchley 1975)
Steven Spielberg first drew me into movies with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, back in 1977.
Because I was too young for Jaws in 1975, it wasn’t until later when I discovered the movie that really made Spielberg.
Jaws literally changed the movie industry as its tremendous success not only started the ‘wide opening’ with over 500 theatres, it also launched the summer season as the most profitable movie season in the US.

A structural overview of Raiders of the Lost Ark (Laurence Kasdan, Story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman 1981)
The first film of the extraordinarily successful Indiana Jones quadrilogy, created by Spielberg and Lucas, the greatest filmmakers of their generation. A timeless piece of of the very best entertainment. This is your typical Hero’s Journey and an excellent starting point for screen story study.
Did I mention it is also great fun?
