In
the film, there is a
conflict in the drama between the characters, or between
the characters and the surroundings, towards the resolution
of which the action of the film is targeted. The conflict
is not necessarily physical or violent; it can also be a clash
of desires and aspirations of the characters of the film.
A
film usually includes a conflict or conflicts; one can even
claim that a film has to have a confrontation. The story of
the film deals with this basic conflict, and the
main clause formulated by the author is the solution to
it. This begets tension to the film, and the viewer is not
bored. The conflict has to be productive, feasible.
Sometimes
the scriptwriter has to look for conflicts that are only structural.
The scriptwriter must always find something of interest to
the viewers that can be formulated into a conflict.
