#Scriptchat TOPIC: Subplots
Tonight, both EURO and USA chats talked subplots. In typical scriptchat fashion, some agreed, some disagreed… and some were having totally unrelated chats amongst the main topic. Yes, we even do subplots while chatting subplots. At USA chat, a director popped in looking for talent to work with. Lesson learned: you never know what will happen at scriptchat… so don’t miss one! Enjoy! @jeannevb

8:07 pm janetvaneeden: RT @jeannevb tip I found helpful: carry theme into your subplots #scriptchat <--Agree - the subplot must carry main plots themes through too
8:07 pm AlexisNiki: I find if you understand the conflicts in your story really well, the subplots evolve organically. #scriptchat

8:11 pm Robert296hewitt: I often struggle with sub plots because they tend to lead to another story that I then want to tell and become their own entity #scriptchat
8:11 pm filmutopia: #scriptchat There isn't a one size fits all answer to the issue of subplots. It's dependent on the nature of the story you are telling

8:11 pm DreamsGrafter: @Robert296hewitt Psycho, that's an interesting one ... what's the subplot for your? Marion's plight? #scriptchat
8:12 pm twatterer: @DreamsGrafter my issue with subplots is the popular consensus they should be included regardless of story needs. #Scriptchat
8:12 pm AlexisNiki: RT @filmutopia: #scriptchat There isnt a one size fits all answer to subplots. Its dependent on the nature of the story. #scriptchat
8:12 pm jeannevb: heehee :) RT @zacsanford2: Yippy @jeannevb was just pimped on @filmcourage radio. #scriptchat

8:13 pm Robert296hewitt: @DreamsGrafter yeah. The way she steels the money and her personal conflict I think Hitchcock called it a macguffin. #scriptchat

8:15 pm Robert296hewitt: I think with subplots there is many different views and i think a lot of the time we write them but don't realise it. #scriptchat
8:15 pm filmutopia: #scriptchat Although, I do believe that thematically driven scripts will tend to develop more subplots than classic arc scripts
8:16 pm reebotfilms: Blake Snyder talks usefully about sub-plots in the always helpful #savethecat #scriptchat
8:16 pm SaschaIllyvich: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat It depends on the story really. If the one I work on calls for it then I go with that for spinoff story

8:21 pm twatterer: @DreamsGrafter my point being that films per se don't *need* subplots, it's just certain stories do. #Scriptchat

8:24 pm AndieRedwine: RT @DannyManus: A couple hours until the @filmcourage radio show! Tune in and you can skype questions too...this is gonna be fun/scary. haha #scriptchat
8:24 pm Bang2write: @DreamsGrafter I think a gd subplot is OVER by the resolution - should help bring journey towards it, to really "fit" #scriptchat
8:24 pm AlexisNiki: How does everyone define "subplot"? I'm realizing I don't think about subplots anymore--but I write them. Hmm... #scriptchat

8:29 pm thewritertype: #scriptchat Also, I don't plan to write subplot, I write minor characters who then create subplot if they fit in well.
8:30 pm SaschaIllyvich: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat it's really a matter of my target market when I write. Take a business approach to my writing, mix with organic
8:30 pm pattyfantasia: RT @jeannevb: we have links on #scriptchat blog too www.scriptchat.com RT @TAOXproductions: Lots of scripts are available free online! #filmcourage
8:30 pm DreamsGrafter: So excluding the subplot isn't genre dependent - i.e. more likely in action and thriller? It's dependent on story? #scriptchat
8:30 pm Bang2write: @DreamsGrafter I use Pitch Black as an example w/ Bang2writers not 'cos it's best film, but cos it is v clear in its transitions #scriptchat

8:32 pm Bang2write: Sometimes writers don't realise subplot in movies most often compliments main plot;they write a different story altogether #scriptchat (1/2)
8:32 pm janetvaneeden: @DreamsGrafter I think character and story are paramount & if there is a need for a subplot it should evolve from story's needs #scriptchat

8:33 pm Bang2write: It means the feature can feel disjointed. Why is a story SO different contrast against main plot? Can wk, but needs GD reason #scriptchat
8:34 pm DreamsGrafter: @filmutopia Never even considered that. Good suggestion ... after all, every character is the lead in their own story. #scriptchat

8:39 pm twatterer: @Robert296hewitt I am just v wary of imposing a generic "a story *must* have a subplot" before we even explore the story's needs #scriptchat
8:40 pm DreamsGrafter: @Jonathan_Peace Thanks for dropping in Jonathan! #scriptchat
8:40 pm Bang2write: @twatterer's right - too often a subplot becomes "story padding". Leaner writin so often more effective, esp in the genre movie #scriptchat
8:40 pm DreamsGrafter: @Robert296hewitt What do you think about earlier suggestions re North by North West and Pitch Black that don't have subplots? #scriptchat
8:41 pm DreamsGrafter: @Robert296hewitt I haven't seen Pitch Black ... but just putting it out there ... #scriptchat

8:43 pm DreamsGrafter: @jameskick So do you believe that message always has to be in a subplot? Or are there other ways? #scriptchat
8:43 pm RalphGreco1: @johnaugust on structure: I?ll say that structure is like your skeleton. But... not every skeleton is the same. #scriptchat #filmcourage
8:44 pm Robert296hewitt: @DreamsGrafter well there may be exceptions but maybe they have just been over looked. Like in pitch black the subplot of... #scriptchat
8:44 pm Bang2write: @filmutopia haha, like your take on Pitch Black. Not a great film but some fab in-fighting in group & set pieces. Awful dialogue #scriptchat
8:44 pm DreamsGrafter: @filmutopia Haha, really scientology? @Bang2Write just tweeted she meant Hard Target doesn't have a subplot. Need to watch both. #scriptchat

8:45 pm lizziside: I don't like subplots as a literary artifice. Either they highlight aspects of the main plot or better without. #scriptchat
8:45 pm jameskick: @GCGeek @jeannevb correct, cohesion has nothing to do with the length of the story. I find it better creatively to condense #scriptchat
8:45 pm janetvaneeden: @yingandyang #scriptchat No problem! Mine a bit fuddled too after birthday party all day! :) Welcome to club. X
8:46 pm GCGeek: @jameskick @DreamsGrafter Cool. Is message synonymous with theme? Or writer's voice? Or is voice found through multiple scripts? #scriptchat

8:46 pm DreamsGrafter: @devt That's what happens to me sometimes. How are you going to deal with that character? #scriptchat
8:46 pm Bang2write: @Robert296hewitt More about character motivation than sub plot to me. I'd argue subplot of PB is struggle 4 supremacy over group #scriptchat

8:48 pm yingandyang: #scriptchat before it all goes haywire - has the subplot and main plot got to 'bump' in a meaningful way?

1:05 am Chuklz: @IngridElkner It's pretty simple in the 3 act structure. Less so in the non traditional stories. #scriptchat
1:05 am beingbrad: say you're at the football game, subplot is the mascot feud and the guy two rows down who's drinking too much beer. #scriptchat
1:05 am SharkGoddess: how do you know when a subplot is too much? It should be obvious, right? But, there's always a fine line, true? #scriptchat

1:07 am SharkGoddess: RT @cryssfox: @SharkGoddess I think its too much when it distracts from your narrative line. #scriptchat
1:07 am Chuklz: Act II is usually where subplots live. They are used to reveal character and support theme. #scriptchat
1:07 am FurryWolfen: Have as many subplots as you like. Just keep them relevant to the story. See Heavy Rain or Damages #scriptchat
1:07 am IngridElkner: Subplots should usually work to show the theme enacted a different way, with different results to main plot #scriptchat

1:13 am cryssfox: @SharkGoddess @GinyMacGregor The plots are woven together but I don't know if I'd call any of them sub-plots because of the way #scriptchat
1:14 am Chuklz: Honestly I have to disagree. I don't think subplots are terribly organic. They are all recognizable tropes. #scriptchat
1:14 am beingbrad: I always envision it as the banter between the main character and the bellhop in the girl/boyfriend's building #scriptchat
1:14 am cryssfox: @GinyMacGregor @SharkGoddess ...they connect in the end. Or they are all subplots. #scriptchat
1:14 am covermyscript: the subplot is no elusive mystery. it's just whats happening when the main chars are busy doing "a" plot. #scriptchat
1:14 am lisadabrowski: @WellScripted #scriptchat what are ya working on tonite, Mate?

1:14 am IngridElkner: Frustrating in screenwriting course; teachers barely teach us what plots & strands are then ask us to identify them in scripts. #scriptchat
1:15 am SharkGoddess: @jeannevb I'm afraid of The Chrome..... #scriptchat

1:16 am Chuklz: @GinyMacGregor They connect to the character. The character carries all plots forward Sometimes subplots get resolved there. #scriptchat
1:16 am covermyscript: just think about it like this "so while i was fending off the terrorists, judy was staving off some rocket launchers. #scriptchat

1:17 am rachlanger: Despite things being better with a natural and organic creation, writers still need to be aware of their ABC plots, no? #scriptchat
1:17 am cryssfox: @GinyMacGregor They do. I'm not sure that most episodes had a primary plot line though. They seemed to be more multifaceted plts #scriptchat

1:19 am cinemascribe: Hi #scriptchat peeps!
1:19 am AndiWritesAgain: @covermyscript The subplot, in depth, is how Judy & I are relating to each other to further the theme. No? #scriptchat
1:19 am GCGeek: @covermyscript But it should add to the story, maybe them, maybe not, but not just fill time with supporting characters. #scriptchat
1:19 am beingbrad: So, how important is subplot? Is subplot always intentional and woven throughout? #scriptchat

1:20 am ficwriter: @FurryWolfen @covermyscript Thanks for your answers. Edited a play w/ characters battling inner and outer conflicts. Great fun. #scriptchat
1:21 am IngridElkner: Bad movie, but look at He's Just Not That Into You. Each subplot plays with the theme of being with a man who doesn't want you. #scriptchat

1:24 am Kara_DeMaeyer: @ficwriter I think so, as long as the plot trumps that. Make sure your "subplot" doesn't distract the heart of the story. #scriptchat
1:24 am jeannevb: I have been guilty of writing subplots better than main plot bc in draft 1, I tend to protect the protagonist too much #scriptchat
1:24 am realdaveed: I think 'subplot' is a misnomer. Plot is fulfilled at film end. 'Subplot' goes on. Theme is eternal. #scriptchat
1:25 am beingbrad: So is subplot necessary? #scriptchat
1:25 am Chuklz: When the subplot takes over, it should be its own movie, and that movie should be scrapped. #scriptchat
1:25 am TheStorysmith: The important thing is stop analyzing, keep observing, save $$, learn business, move to NYC or LA and start actually writing. #scriptchat

1:28 am GCGeek: Especially w/tonight's talk :) RT @gardnergrout: @jeannevb This is my first #scriptchat. is drinking as integral as I have heard #scriptchat
1:28 am UncompletedWork: @MonaLiNYC wasn't crazy about the second film it was like "hey guys remember when we did this? Let's do more of that" #scriptchat
1:29 am IngridElkner: Once you've figured out your theme, then you can construct a subplot that is believable and relevant, that flows. #scriptchat
1:29 am covermyscript: no. story is my sole focus. theme emerges later. RT @cryssfox: When you sit down to write a script, do you think about theme? #scriptchat
1:29 am booksbelow: It seems to be! RT @gardnergrout: @jeannevb This is my first #scriptchat. is drinking as integral as I have heard #scriptchat
1:29 am beingbrad: @gardnergrout @jeannevb Yes. Unless ur an alcoholic, then u have to be high, unless ur recovering, then you have to have issues #scriptchat
1:29 am KageyNYC: We're gentle, but you never forget your first time. RT @EmLaRock: @KageyNYC Please be gentle. #scriptchat @jeannevb
1:29 am BrowneTom: @blankethouse If subplot becomes stronger than main story then you should flip the main story with your subplot. #scriptchat
1:29 am jeannevb: @gardnergrout haha we have a drinking problem reputation? Excellent! ;) It's not required but is a nice end to a Sunday ;) #scriptchat
1:30 am nobull408: @laurapauling I like that style of writing too, where subplots conflict with main plot. #scriptchat
1:30 am jeannevb: @gardnergrout so happy you're here, welcome! Any subplot thoughts you'd like to share? #scriptchat
1:30 am EmLaRock: @KageyNYC oops I mean, #scriptchat, please be gentle.
1:30 am AndiWritesAgain: @GCGeek I'm having water but don't tell @jeannevb! #scriptchat
1:30 am lisadabrowski: #scriptchat subplots, isn't that like when a main character has a hidden agenda, and it is wove into the story?
1:30 am covermyscript: what is all this "theme" bullshit ypu guys? solid story first. then build in the message. this isnt ralphy writing a xmas essay #scriptchat

1:30 am booksbelow: @scripteach @realdaveed Perhaps learning the force is the plot and destruction of DS just a subplot. :-) #scriptchat
1:30 am beingbrad: @AndiWritesAgain @scripteach I like the term B-Story better than sub plot. Story makes more sense to me than plot. #scriptchat
1:30 am brionykidd: It can feel very phony & redundant to add in a subplot at a later draft stage...ie. when you suddenly realise it's necessary... #scriptchat
1:31 am jeannevb: eye spy with my little eye some #scriptchat virgins tonight mwhahaha #scriptchat
1:31 am nobull408: My first time, @kageyNYC took my wallet. :( @EmLaRock Please be gentle. #scriptchat @jeannevb

1:31 am blankethouse: @SharkGoddess wow ur getting all medical and stuff, that's deep! Lol #scriptchat
1:31 am covermyscript: if your story is good, chars are solid and multi-dimensonal, this ever elusie "theme" will emerge. #scriptchat
1:31 am laurapauling: As a writer of novels, I'm pretty obsessed with structure right now. This is fun. #scriptchat
1:31 am scripteach: My mind just blew up like the DS! ?@booksbelow: @realdaveed Perhaps learning force isthe plot & destruction of DS a subplot. #scriptchat?
1:31 am GCGeek: Me too! On the rocks. RT @AndiWritesAgain: @GCGeek Im having water but dont tell @jeannevb! #scriptchat
1:31 am SharkGoddess: @blankethouse I am? lol #scriptchat
1:31 am beingbrad: pulp fiction had a lot of subplot that turned out to be the plot of another story. #scriptchat
1:32 am brionykidd: How to make it feel like it's been part of the story all along...that I'm not vandalising my script, is the question for me. #scriptchat
1:32 am jeannevb: @laurapauling if you chat via www.tweetchat.com/room/scriptchat it auto adds the hashtag #scriptchat

1:32 am WellScripted: Me personally, it can both help and hinder IMO RT @beingbrad: So you're saying a script isn't good without subplot. (#ScriptChat)
1:32 am laurapauling: @jeannevb I wonder if tweetdeck does the same thing. #scriptchat
1:32 am beingbrad: @brionykidd instead of thinking about how to add subplot, think about how to give your tertiary characters a goal they achieve. #scriptchat
1:32 am Chuklz: Actually the B Story of Star Wars is 'Save the Princess' Learning about the force is how the DS is destroyed #scriptchat
1:32 am gardnergrout: @jeannevb @jeannevb Subplots are like icing between cake. (I just made that up all alone with my head.) #scriptchat

1:33 am gardnergrout: Wow I suck at this #scriptchat
1:33 am covermyscript: next draft is time to rethink everything. RT @scripteach: 1st draft yes, but rewrites are a good time to think on it. #scriptchat?
1:33 am laurapauling: I read stories for the B story, first half of Act 2. #scriptchat
1:33 am AndiWritesAgain: @covermyscript LOL! Themes R good. They can B simple. They can lead U on UR path.Ex: Money can buy u love = Theme. Now write it. #scriptchat

1:34 am scripteach: Not BS. Not first thing you worry about, but good stories have strong themes ?@covermyscript: what's all this "theme" bullshit? #scriptchat?
1:34 am realdaveed: #scriptchat 'Subplot' can be what makes your story resonate w/ an audience long after the final shot.
1:34 am blankethouse: @SharkGoddess haha, skeleton and muscle, yup that's a check. Now how can I work that in as a subplot for #scriptchat
1:34 am TheWriteScript: @gardnergrout hang in there. #Scriptchat

1:38 am covermyscript: @AndiWritesAgain yeah, but who cares if your story sucks and your chars are lame? #scriptchat
1:38 am gardnergrout: tequila drinking is #scriptchat subplot. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes distracting.

1:39 am jeannevb: @dianewms *hands you glass* #scriptchat
1:39 am TAOXproductions: How tertiary character's goals/subplot connect to main plot - seems to me the important bridge #scriptchat
1:39 am zacsanford2: @jeannevb I think it's more to the fact of I came into the house and realized the basement was flooding. #scriptchat
1:40 am GCGeek: @garlandMatt @KageyNYC My girlfriend isn't on Twitter. Otherwise, she'd join you! I tag in to the Euro chat too. :-) #scriptchat
1:40 am Chuklz: @scripteach That's the A-Plot. ;) #scriptchat
1:40 am TheStorysmith: In a classic like "sleuth", the subplot actually IS the plot... it is the telling, not a formula #scriptchat
1:40 am beingbrad: @blankethouse @gardnergrout unless it's Angel Food cake. I hate icing on that. So much better al fresco. #scriptchat
1:40 am SharkGoddess: RT @TAOXproductions: How tertiary character's goals/subplot connect to main plot - seems to me the important bridge #scriptchat

1:40 am jeannevb: @zacsanford2 ugh... but, it's a subplot :) #scriptchat
1:40 am realdaveed: @brionykidd Tropic Thunder subplot is about actors letting go of petit ego/flaws. We see 1st steps toward this. #scriptchat
1:40 am beingbrad: RT @TAOXproductions: How tertiary characters goals/subplot connect to main plot - seems to me the important bridge #scriptchat

1:41 am zacsanford2: I read too many amateur scripts where it feels like the subplot is there for padding and not to help further the MC's journey. #scriptchat
1:41 am tracinell: watching Hitch, good subplot... there, that's my big comment for the night. :) #scriptchat
1:41 am nobull408: @TAOXproductions Hey Terry! Nice to follow you on here too! #scriptchat
1:41 am SharkGoddess: @jeffrago You're welcome to join us, Jeff. #scriptchat
1:41 am lady_di11: @nobull408 Awesome night for a talk about sub plots, eh? #scriptchat
1:41 am TheStorysmith: If you want to write a story, then tell one. aloud. To strangers without being paid. If they listen, remember what you did. #scriptchat
1:41 am covermyscript: the other thing is people often confuse theme with genre or mood. just write a good story, w/ real chars. then their subplots... #scriptchat
1:41 am jeannevb: @JBMovies some is better than none :) #filmcourage #scriptchat
1:41 am zacsanford2: I've also seen scripts where it seems the subplot starts to overshadow the main story or where it is the more interesting story. #scriptchat
1:41 am TAOXproductions: @itsKysis I think if you spend ALOT of time organizing story elements 1st, subplots are easier to "control";) #scriptchat
1:41 am SharkGoddess: RT @covermyscript: the other thing is people often confuse theme with genre or mood. just write a good story, w/ real chars. then their subplots... #scriptchat
1:41 am booksbelow: I think sometimes the plot is composed of subplots, and doesn't exist independently. #scriptchat
1:41 am scripteach: Uh... THE FIGHTER: you can only win when you stop fighting one another. ?@cmhoughton: Can you give another example..." #ScriptChat
1:42 am WellScripted: Certainly RT @zomaster1: if I can make it before its done ill jump on if that's ok? (#ScriptChat)

1:42 am yeah_write: Welcome RT @realdaveed: @KageyNYC This is my 1st #scriptchat
1:42 am covermyscript: will emerge from within the chars. look at the fighter. chistian bale's subplot directly related to marky mark enhancing it. #scriptchat
1:42 am scripteach: Yes! ?@realdaveed: #scriptchat 'Subplot' can be what makes your story resonate w/ an audience long after the final shot.?
1:42 am beingbrad: what if you're writing a short? Sub-plots still? #scriptchat
1:42 am IngridElkner: For me, once characters & world are established, knowing theme keeps me on track & gives relevant plot, subplots and resolutions #scriptchat
1:42 am KayleeT: RT @gardnergrout: If the cake is really good you might not think you need the icing, but it helps. #scriptchat
1:42 am TheStorysmith: Then figure out your own way of getting it onto the page. #scriptchat
1:42 am blankethouse: @zacsanford2 I wouldn't say mush and brains in the same sentence, may be zombies lurking! #scriptchat
1:42 am nobull408: @lady_di11 You got it. I'm writing a feature length screenplay which there are subplots that mirror the main plot. #scriptchat
1:43 am jeffrago: @SharkGoddess Thanks but I have to jump off for a bit. Got all excited when I saw all those great storytellers in a row. #scriptchat
1:43 am jeannevb: another virgin! excellent! RT @realdaveed: @KageyNYC This is my 1st #scriptchat
1:43 am SharkGoddess: @TheStorysmith When I roleplay I do that alot, make a story on the fly. #scriptchat
1:43 am brionykidd: @covermyscript Agree start with story.But theme useful to hone in on what made you excited about the idea initially..& push that #scriptchat
1:43 am zacsanford2: @beingbrad shorts and webseries can still have subplots put in there. #scriptchat
1:43 am covermyscript: but it stood on its own as its own story. successful subplot. not about theme. about story. and good story at that. #scriptchat
1:43 am TheStorysmith: Hitchcock's scripts were unintelligible by the time he made the movies. Scripts are instruction books for storytelling #scriptchat
1:43 am dianewms: @zacsanford2 My 1812 privateer captures ships, but worries @ paying his crew cos the ship owner gambles away their prize money! #scriptchat

1:44 am GCGeek: Yes RT @gardnergrout: ?@GCGeek: Intangibles like theme..blow my mind. U know it's there/know when it's missing.? like obscenity #scriptchat
1:44 am beingbrad: @zacsanford2 but not as necessary? Hard enough getting plot into 5 pages, let alone subplot and quality. Geez. #scriptchat
1:44 am nobull408: @covermyscript Exactly.Christian story was one of lost potential. Christian's character arc was falling while Mark's was rising. #scriptchat
1:44 am zacsanford2: @beingbrad I've yet to see any eps of Walking Dead since I didn't have AMC HD. Waiting for the Blu-Ray. #scriptchat
1:44 am jeffrago: @SharkGoddess Thanks. Good to know. #scriptchat

1:45 am zacsanford2: @beingbrad I wouldn't say it's as necessary in shorts. In webseries I would add it for the overall story arc. #scriptchat
1:45 am jeannevb: @beingbrad it feels like a quickie... I'm not sure how I feel about them yet ;) #scriptchat
1:46 am blankethouse: @covermyscript haha u called him marky mark! That is His subplot in life #scriptchat
1:46 am beingbrad: @zacsanford2 yah, i can see anything serialized really needing b and even c stories. #scriptchat
1:46 am brionykidd: @Phobophilia Yes, exactly. I think there is the danger of changing too little, then will be a real Frankenstein's monster! #scriptchat
