What I learnt about scriptwriting from Christopher Nolan. It Could Help You Too.

What can Christopher Nolan teach you about writing a better screenplay? Christopher Nolan is known for complex stories, nonlinear structures and films that make you think. But underneath all that complexity is a surprisingly simple approach to screenwriting: Control what the audience knows — and when they know it. In this video, I look at Nolan's approach to screenwriting and how films like Memento, The Prestige, Inception and Oppenheimer use information to shape the audience's experience. More importantly, we'll turn that idea into something you can actually use in your own writing. Instead of only asking “What happens next?”, try asking: “What does the audience discover next?” Because sometimes the power of a scene isn't what you reveal — it's what you deliberately hold back. If you're a filmmaker, screenwriter or someone trying to tell better stories, this is one principle from Nolan's writing process that's worth stealing.
