The Different Types of External Conflict & 10 Great External Conflict Examples
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. External conflict is an essential part of screenwriting in that it’s essential in driving any plot. It is different to internal conflict in that whilst internal conflict is within the characters, external is outside of the character. In this article we’ll seek to define what external conflict is as well as provide some brilliant external conflict examples. We’ll look at: What is External Conflict? What are the Different Types of External Conflict? Which are the Best Examples of External Conflict? Defining External Conflict External conflict is when characters are faced with forces outside themselves, beyond their control, which oppose their needs and wants. Internal and external conflict are not mutually exclusive, both are necessary in well written stories. External conflict is the basis of the entire plot, driving the narrative forward. Whilst internal conflict adds depths to characters and storylines. External conflict is essentially the outside forces that pressure the protagonist into action. Internal conflict will be the pressure a protagonist puts on themselves, something that external conflict can exacerbate, motivate or call into question. But external conflict is the pressure point unique to this story. A protagonist has a long life outside the point at time in which we are seeing them and. The external conflict is usually the reason why we are meeting them at this point in their life. This is unless of course the story encapsulates the protagonist‘s entire life, in which case conflict will be many and varied. External conflict is the antagonist force for a protagonist and it can take many forms… Types of External Conflict There are three primary forms of external conflict within screenwriting. Each is vital to understanding antagonists and obstacles. Nature vs Character – This is when the world is opposing the goals of the protagonists. This could be a natural disaster, a global pandemic or an evil creature of some kind. Character vs Character – This is the simplest form of conflict and involves the battle of the protagonist and antagonist, both of whom have opposing goals, needs and wants. Society vs Character – In this form of conflict, the protagonists are faced with a society that opposes them. Dystopian societies involve this form of conflict, where it seems that the protagonist is overwhelmed by societal oppression. These three forms of external conflict are the most common but not the only forms. There are other subcategories that can be extrapolated from each. These often include: Supernatural vs Character (a variant of Nature vs Character eg. Ghost Stories, Poltergeist) Technology vs Character (a variant of Society vs Character eg. 2001 Space Oddysey, Blade Runner). Animal vs Character (another variant of Nature vs Character mixed with Character vs Character eg. Moby Dick, Jaws). The aforementioned three are the primary forms of external conflict. However, you’ll see in our examples that from the three primary forms of external conflict, secondary ones will spring. Furthermore, types of external conflict are by no means mutually exclusive. To the contrary, they often spawn and feed each other. External conflict is rarely the only conflict in a film of course. In most films, the external conflict feeds into and creates internal conflict within the characters who have to deal with it. Internal and external conflict need each other to survive and it’s in this relationship that drama thrives. Let’s take a look at some examples… -

The Harris Poll America's Favorite Movie
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This Harris Poll was conducted online, in English, within the United States between November 12 and 17, 2014 among 2,276 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, The Harris Poll avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in our panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. -

The Reporter Ethiopia's Top 10
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Wondimagegn Lema September 9, 2023 Filmmaker’s top 10 picks of Ethiopian cinematic greats The coming Ethiopian New Year is the perfect time to catch up on some of Ethiopia’s best films that didn’t receive as wide an audience as they deserved upon release. While these thoughtful, nuanced movies have stood the test of time, revealing new layers with each viewing, they remained relatively unseen by Ethiopian moviegoers at the time. However, the films’ scripts, production quality, ideas, and acting were exceptional, far beyond typical Ethiopian cinema. Titles like Yenegen alweldime, Lomi Shita, and Yetsehay Mewcha lijoch in particular deserve bigger platforms, as they have yet to be uploaded to YouTube for wider audiences to discover. As you plan your Ethiopian New Year film marathon, be sure to include overlooked gems that are sure to provide perspective and spark discussion for years to come. Enjoy exploring Ethiopia’s rich cinematic history from the comfort of your own home this holiday season. -
The Top 10 Biggest Money-Losing Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. The term "box office bomb" or "flop" generally refers to a film that is viewed as highly unsuccessful or unprofitable during its theatrical run, sometimes preceding hype regarding its production, cost or marketing efforts. To earn this distinction, the film must also fail to earn more than the reported cost of its production, distribution and marketing by a wide margin. -
The Top 10 Screenplays of All Time by CineFix, new version
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. If you want to make a good movie, the first thing you have to do is WRITE a good movie. The case for the screenplay being the most important part of filmmaking isn’t the most difficult one to make. It sets the tone for character, action, theme and pace, which inform all the other most vital storytelling devices in cinema’s arsenal. It’s a strangely daunting task to pick 10 and one that, frankly, we’ve been trying to avoid, but today we’re testing our mettle! Here are our picks for the top 10 screenplays of all time. From the crackling back and forth of classic old hollywood fare like His Girl Friday to the hipster swagger of Juno and hyper-specific cadence of Quentin Tarantnio in Pulp Fiction, the most obvious thing to look at is dialogue. But screenplays are also filled with action description, from a boulder chasing Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the way the “camera” swoops out of Jack’s brain at the beginning of Fight Club. There’s world building to do, like the vastness of Lord of the Rings, there’s exposition to deliver, like Rian Johnson methodically reverse engineering a mystery in Knives Out, and there is tone to set, like the violent intensity of PT Anderson and There Will Be Blood. Screenplays have a lot to accomplish, and so do we! So enjoy the next twenty minutes or so! -
