SCRIPT SECRETS: Invisible Plants and Payoffs
A great screenplay or novel is filled with Plants and Payoffs—things that are set up early in the story (Chekov’s Gun) so that they are part of the story and remove coincidence. But how do you make those “plants” invisible? So that when they pay off later it seems natural but unpredictable? William C. Martell looks at 2020’s INVISIBLE MAN for answers!
