So after we've created our board so that it looks like this, we can start to add the detail we need. For this software version of the planner, I've separated the board into three instead of four, so that each horizontal line represents an act. This means that the midpoint is somewhere in the middle of Act Two. There are 15 major beats and the page numbers are clearly marked on each beat. If you remember from the physical cork board, Act One was quite busy. Act Two seemed quite busy as well.
And Act Three was marked just as financially. Of course, there's much going on in Three. So I've just added minor beats in green to remind us of the detail required. Click on the first beat opening image. It will expand and you will see a text area for taking notes. Also, you can insert an image by using the menu above, Insert Image.
And I've chosen and cheap which is in line with the text where I've suggested that someone has been chased to the desert. If we click on the subtopic characters to the right, it will open up and I simply make a note that in this scene, or sequence of scenes, the main character is named Baxter under four cat bike riders who are minor characters. Anything at all can be listed in this section. And if you need to make other nodes simply create the sub topic and add them there. This character list should really be a feature of every beat. So when you open up this beat from the original template, simply delete any text or images or sub sub topics that are not needed and replace it with your own text and images.
Click on the next beat the theme stated on page five. Here you can make a note exactly what is your theme? Is it love is it money Is it about integrity, honesty, trust or loyalty? Make up your mind. Now this thing needs to be stated, as we talked about before. And it's a question from Mike, Nate's brother, who has completely different outlook on life.
Maybe one believes that answer to everything, and the other one believes that money is the answer to everything. So stage your movie theme together information about who acts the theme, or who makes a statement. We have a sub target topic called notes. Click on this sub topic, and you can read the notes that I've written quickly. Nate and his brother have always been rivals, and are opposite in many things. They both have to change in order to see the truth of life and the value of love.
Hear again, when you open up this sub topic and you retitle it. delete any elements you find in there from the original template, and just add your own notes about the situation. Click on overview to get back to the original board. And now we can click on setup, which occurs between pages one to 10. Write down the things that need to appear in this beat. Main characters are introduced, or at least hinted at, or referred to show the heroes normal life before the catalyst changes everything and list the heroes minor and major faults to be addressed later on in the movie.
The first sub top topic could be labeled heroes faults This is where we could list them. These are the things that need to be corrected throughout the movie, if he is to succeed in his quest. For example, Nate doesn't care about anything. He professors in the new war. He's intelligent, but he's always had an easy life. He's never had to fight for anything.
He's selfish and reluctant to put himself out tell anyone. He's vain about his looks, and his physicality. subtopic sub topic two could be used to list the main characters sequence of scenes. While each satellite topic might be dedicated to the description of the characters so he We have nice Baxter, his brother, Maria Henson, Barrett Jackson, etc. So we create the sub topic for needs Baxter and we can add some details to flesh out his character. He's a marketer and writer he lives in LA, he's 25 years old, etc.
Simply click on each beat element and enter the detail that we discussed in our previous videos. When we get to the finale, you can see that we have smaller sub beats in green at the bottom. This is where you can add the elements discussed for the finale between pages 85 and 110 these are the things that need to happen during that period. So the new world is created and all the villains are vanquished.
