Importance of moments

INBOUND15

“Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.” — Rose Kennedy

• An accident is an unexpected event that changes one or more lives. It most affects a focal character, and the driving force of the incident is beyond that person’s control.

• A discovery is a passage from ignorance to knowledge. It causes a change that arouses a person’s feelings and stimulates a change in attitude.

• A decision is a commitment to take action. Jean Paul Sartre says we are the sum of our decisions, our choices. Decisions are of two sorts, expedient or ethical.

• A deed means actually doing something. A character carries out a decision by taking action.

Cinematic momentsA genuinely useful cinematic moment always drives the action forward, increases the tension, or penetrates characters more deeply.
