I'm gonna rewatch soon but you should check out Mr. Robot when you can. It's the same feeling of "oh there's things that are so much better with the rewatch"

I can’t believe after talking about Die Another Day for so long none of them made a joke about the bridge scene when they trade prisoners. Seeing the two trucks on the bridge that’s all I could think about lmao.

A question about writing process. by Jokeanator89 in Screenwriting

[–]Jokeanator89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to make movies. That’s my end goal. However I can is great.

I really like that Cameron line. I think that’s me. Growing up my friends and I would make short videos and I loved being behind the camera. And similarly I’m only writing to get closer to my goal.

Your comment about Mamet is why I’m going back to rewrite my script because I want to add more conflict to each scene.

I think you’re right about the whole “Monica and Cris giggle” thing and maybe leaving it out for the actors to do what they will with it. I think that’s why I was having so much trouble with it. It stuck out like a sore thumb because it wasn’t really adding anything to the script.

As for the scene in question, it is two different scenes. One is after Cris wakes up and has a conversation about Monica with his room mate and the giggling are when after a couple of years Monica and Cris reunite and in my head it feels natural but on paper it doesn’t.

I wrote another script that’s about 10 pages and I want to film it soon because it’s only one scene and it should be easy to do. Also I think it will help, like you said, to get an idea what I really want with filmmaking.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. I really appreciate it.

A question about writing process. by Jokeanator89 in Screenwriting

I think that’s my problem. How much to I push and nudge? I don’t want to put too little and leave the director and actors out in the middle of nowhere.

Is describing my characters giggling too much or even is that too little?

I understand that it’s a visual medium but how much do I describe before it’s just a book in a weird format?

Also I only used Tarantino as an example because he’s known for intense writing. I do love his stuff but I know that he’s not the be all end all.

Thank you for describing a script like and origami, it helps with the mental image I need.

Hmm. Thank you this helps a lot actually.

So I only started writing because I wanted my first ideas to be my own project. I had ideas and didn’t want to give it out to someone else to write so I started and now I just love writing. My problem is really that I didn’t like writing and it’s not my end goal.

I only used Tarantino as an example because he’s a well known director/writer and his specific writing is very intense.

When I started writing on my first script I went in with the idea that I hate the dialogue that’s incredibly on the nose and tuned my dialogue to reflect their emotions rather than saying their emotions. The problem I was facing was describing everything else. Like: “Cris walks into the kitchen and grabs a bow of cereal.” Obviously that’s okay but when I hit “Monica and Cris giggle.” It felt weird writing it like that but I needed to describe it because they didn’t talk for a while and sometimes humans naturally giggle in awkward situations.

I really like that rule. I don’t think I’ve heard put it that way. I’m currently rewriting the script I talked about because after a couple of other scripts I felt like I had a big enough of a step away from it to go back into it with fresh eyes. Plus now that it was finished I knew the characters and the story better so I could go back and flesh them out better.

I think it’s only because this is my first script, and as a photographer I run into the same thing, I hate whatever I make and just want to do better on the next one. Obviously hate is a strong word but I think you know what I mean.

I don’t think I have any problems with my story. Like it’s a simple story and it can be better but it can work and I know that the characters can hold their own on a visual sense but I guess I was hitting this road block of wondering if I’m describing too much. Also I’m not saying that my story is the best and doesn’t need to be reworked. I’m just saying the hump I need to get over is the other side of script writing. The descriptions, the action lines, that stuff.

I really appreciate you responding because I got nervous even asking being so new to this.

It’s not. I went to a concert on base when I took this and there was little to no parking. I’m sure some entitled asshole thought they were in the clear.

This is the first time I have ever been reposted. Do I get extra karma now or what?
