Once you've absorbed McKee's "Story," you're ready for David Freeman's seminar. McKee is for theory, Freeman is for action. He'll give you the nuts and bolts of how to get the job done. After analyzing what makes a screen character likeable, you'll look at the world differently, and start noticing how often we respond to "rooting interest" qualities in the people around us. He has great shorthand techniques for building character, and developing plot twists. I refer to my notes from this class again and again.
