Advanced Screenwriting
In medias res is a narrative technique where a story begins in the middle of the action rather than at the beginning. This approach often captivates the audience by immersing them directly into critical moments, creating intrigue and prompting questions about the context and characters involved. It's particularly effective in genres that require world-building, like science fiction and fantasy, as it can reveal essential elements of the world and its rules through dialogue and action.
