With films like "Jurassic World" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," renowned author and filmmaker Colin Trevorrow has made a big impact on Hollywood. Character development should be prioritized over elaborate plotlines or special effects, according to one of his well-known viewpoints on filmmaking.

Trevorrow's perspective is rooted in his early writing career, when he began working with Derek Connolly. Together, they started by writing stories that were firmly based on comprehending and skillfully capturing human emotions and experiences through fully realized characters. Their collaboration was founded on the idea that characters should drive the plot in order to increase the relatability and emotional impact of films.

Consider a film as a garden in which every character is a distinct flower with a distinct personality and history. A character-focused movie would be similar to strolling through these flowers, getting to know each one personally, and enjoying their complexity and beauty. On the other hand, if the attention is drawn too much to action scenes or special effects, it would be like observing a decorative fountain in this garden without pausing to appreciate the individual flowers.

A story that emotionally connects with viewers is far more memorable and significant, according to Trevorrow, even though a visual spectacle can briefly enthrall audiences. His dedication to the integrity of storytelling is reflected in this philosophy, which also emphasizes the continued importance of character-driven narratives in contemporary filmmaking.
