As an exercise, watch this trailer and see if you can figure out how the movie would begin and end with an Action Driver and with a Decision Driver. Throw in a Driver in the middle – doesn’t matter where – if you feel up to it.

I think it will give you a sense of what they are like, and having a bit of distance from your own story will help.
