<ul><li>There is no such thing as an unimportant character. Secondary characters bring your hero closer to their goals or drag him/her further away.</li><li>Fully develop a formidable villain that viewers love to hate.</li></ul>

Supporting characters and villains

<ul>
<li>Learn everything you can about the period/culture you’re trying to portray.</li>
<li>Create a believable universe, not a pretty backdrop.</li>
<li>Invent creative solutions to your hero’s problems.</li>
<li>Give overdone tropes an exciting twist to keep viewers guessing until the end.</li>
<li>Avoid info-dumping by maintaining a thread of suspense until the last possible moment.</li>
<li>Leave certain elements open to interpretation.</li>
</ul>

Creating a fictional universe and storyline

<ul>
<li>Some of the best dialogue is riddled with subtext. Don’t just state what you mean.</li>
<li>Only give your characters lines that they can deliver.</li>
<li>Well-timed comic relief breaks tension and keeps viewers breathing.</li>
<li>Appeal to your target audience with fitting pop culture references.</li>
</ul>

Creating entertaining dialogues

<ul>
<li>Only dynamic, flawed characters can connect with dynamic, flawed humans.</li>
<li>Get inside your hero’s head and figure out what motivates them to do the things they do.</li>
<li>If your hero has nothing to fight for, your viewers have no reason to root for him/her. Show your viewers why they should care.</li>
<li>Show where your hero’s loyalties lie. If they can’t pick a side, your viewers can’t either.</li>
<li>Allow your characters to drive the theme of your story.</li>
</ul>
