One of my favorite new YouTube channels is Lessons from a Screenplay, and everyone interested in writing and film should check it out. With great video essays, the author analyzes famous films and how they were translated from script to screen. This week's edition is about the excellent 1984 Ghostbusters. With the new version hitting theaters next week, this is a good time to revisit what makes the original so memorable. There is great stuff on this channel each week about dialogue, structure, setting, and other writing concepts. This Ghostbusters examination explores the evolution of story and concept design. Enjoy!
