“George Lucas” One of the few outstanding world-class filmmakers that I admire, the name that does not need an introduction to the creator of” “Star Wars. The main reason he became world famous was the way he incorporated characters. “The way the main character, Luke Skywalker, was introduced, the way the screenplay was woven into the world’s average moviegoer, because of Lucas’s command over the direction as well as the screenplay. ” He violates the screenwriting principle of introducing the main character early, and thus, he feels that the audience will bond with the person they are going to follow for the next couple of hours. ‘Luke, Skywalker’s Journey: The Hero’s Journey ‘is based on myths and legends and has been co-designed by renowned screenplay writer Joseph Campbell. When the heroes of the Puranic story go on a journey in search, they face many obstacles on the way. ” Thus, the quest for the hero’s journey arouses the curiosity of the viewers.
“There has to be conflict in the main character, everything in the story has to go through that conflict. If we take ‘Indiana Jones’, in a way, it is the quest of the hero for the journey movie arc. ” In order for characters to excel in story and narrative, they must have a good goal, and they will shine on the silver screen only when they grow organically. The scene-to-scene transition has to be woven into the narrative, and when that happens, the works make a permanent signature in the minds of the audience. By Prakash Surya
