Screenwriting : Ensemble Pieces by Oliver Milne

Oliver Milne

Ensemble Pieces

Anyone have tips on writing a good ensemble feature?

James Welday

I would keep track of each character's place in the story, and the overall theme you're trying to convey.

Lindbergh E Hollingsworth

Make sure every character in the ensemble has an external goal and an internal problem that needs to be solved.

Jon Shallit

I have one if you'd like to see it-a comedy.

MB Stevens

I go to Sriptslug (or your preferred script platform) to find produced scripts of ensemble feature(s) I love. Good luck, Oliver Milne Onward and upward.

Doug Nelson

Watch 'Bad Day at Black Rock' - a masterful ensemble film.

Craig D Griffiths

It still has to serve the central narrative. Peter Jackson and his ex-wife Philipa write a version of the screenplay for each character then bring them all together.

Ewan Dunbar

If it’s an ensemble where they have to team-up, Tuckman’s 5 stages of team development is a good guide that can give rise to compelling and evolving inter-character relation development. The outline of these stages are: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. This is used to great effect in The Avengers.
