How to write a STRONG NARRATIVE movie

1) make the first scene, the scene in which the story want is setup.  It can be "the" want or a "similar want" i.e. Indiana Jones - first scene in Ark Indiana is trying to get an artifact.  It's the "same" thing as the "ark"  Man going after rare, dangerous, artifacts.

2) write down for yourself exactly what the story you want to tell is.
Don't just say "Comedy"  or "a good story."  Nothing in general.
i.e. "A dark comedy about a Police officer who wants to stop killer.  But the killer is his father and they are best friends"  Write down something specific like that so you know when you're going off course.  You can use that line when you do rewrites.  And don't waiver from that line once you start working on the story.
