Scene 30: Character Archetype Series, The Mentor
Hello! You’ve joined The Script Mistress for Scene 30: Character Archetype Series, The Mentor! I am your host, Amber Bosworth. I barely scratched the surface in my episode back to Scene 11. Go back and listen if you want just a quick rundown of those 12 types at www.thescriptmistress.com/scene11.
Now, if you want to stay up to date on podcasts, events, and challenges, get on my mailing list at www.thescriptmistress.com. I also have this whole episode on video at www.thescriptmistress.com/scene29 for your enjoyment along with a completely Free download that you can find on that page! I’ve also started The Script Mistress YouTube Channel. All of these episodes are available there as well: https://www.youtube.com/@thescriptmistress/featured
We are halfway through this amazing list, on to #6, The Mentor.
Strengths of the Mentor
- Wisdom about the world
- Calming presence
- Great listener
Weaknesses of the Mentor
- Inability to solve their own problems
- Predictions can go wrong
- Learned from dark mistakes
The Mentor's Motivation:
To teach the next generation to pick up the gauntlet.
Character archetype examples:
- Mr. Miyagi
- John Keating from Dead Poets Society
- Albus Dumbledore
- Mary Poppins
WRITING ACTION: I’ve created a NEW worksheet for these 12 archetypes. Download the character archetype worksheet and fill it out for whichever archetype character you are working on. Get it here: https://www.thescriptmistress.com/archetypes/ Feel free to share some of your thoughts on the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ink2screen or email me at [email protected] to get extra help.
Don’t forget about the monthly screenwriting challenge. June is open for registration. You could win $150 and get feedback on your writing, all for $15. Check it all out at www.thescriptmistress.com/ink2screen.
