Rushmore - Movie Analysis for Screenwriters


Let's explore each point:

Character Theme: This is how I describe who my character is, it's the attributes that I'm exploring and using to build the story.

Story Theme:  This is the subject matter that I'm exploring and using to build my story as well.  It is the world in which my character lives in.

Central Dramatic Question: This is what my character wants whether he knows it or not.

Answer to central dramatic question: This is what my character or my audience learns at the end of the story.

There can also be a Central Story Question like How do we get to New York by tomorrow?  Or How do we get the Key from the fortress? Etc.
