I've finally found the time to do a proper video about one of the best movies to learn from: JAWS.

First I give you a little background about the importance of this picture, and then we're diving in to the analysis of character and structure, following my system of CHARACTER + EVENT + ACTION.

Finally, I will demonstrate how this film is a really good example of a strong Mid Point Reversal, and what exactly this means.

Did you think this was in any way helpful or useful?
I'm keen to hear what you think, as well as what you would like me to cover next. Please comment below, and let us know!

There's no time like NOW to subscribe to my channel. If you do, a sudden and mysterious success will suddenly grace your screenwriting career.

Thank you.

Karel
