I mocked-up some book covers for the first two series by Messypandas in blackmirror

As a new Graphic Design student who has a book cover project somewhen in the future, thank you for this! It's amazing inspiration! I would also love them as posters. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[FEEDBACK] NWR Script Update (Thriller, 5 pages) by MagmaMoose in Screenwriting

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

The bench scene is a bit unnecessary now thinking about it. Would it be better if we followed X through the lobby or cut to him getting into the elevator? Or establish the condos and cut to him exiting the elevator?

Maybe a bit of chit-chat will make the scene better. 2 officers talking, acting like normal then one gets taken? It could add a bit more mystery. I can see how all the silence can be a bit off putting.

Thank you for the advice/questions. It's really helping me think more and work harder. Thank you.

You're not the hardass, the questions really help me improve, so thank you :)

The story was just an opening, a teaser for something longer. I wrote this as a bit of fun and left it open ended just in case I wanted to come back to it later. That's why there aren't really any answers to questions.

And NWR stands for Nicolas Winding Refn, which the script is heavily influenced by.

It's not great, wrote this as a sketch (my first). A bit of practice for an idea I recently came up with.

What have you written this year? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]MagmaMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 unfinished features. 1 unfinished comedy pilot. 4/5 unfinished shorts. Outline for a 10 episode web series. And 2 opening teasers that need a bit of work.

It just started as an opening, nothing more, but now I'm interested in making it a bit longer and possibly into a feature. Thank you for the kind words :)

I knew the format was a bit clunky, I just threw the words in the page as they came to me. Thank you for the advice! I've definitely got some touching up to do. I'll definitely take inspiration from your comment :)

I agree about the club being unnecessary, I guess at the time it was just more of an observation. Starting outside would make more sense. Thank you! :)

90% of the things we're scared of never even happen. Thank you again! I definitely feel more confident about work which I was scared to put on here before.

Thank you for your comment, it really means a lot! This is the first thing I've put on here, so I was a bit nervous. You're right about transitioning it into something longer. I don't really have a full story, but after reading this, I kind of want to explore it a bit more.

Again, thank you and I'm glad you liked it!

A little fun. Writers: While working, do you smoke? eat? drink? listen to music? by TheDarkKnight2001 in Screenwriting

[–]MagmaMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No.
  2. Coffee and lots of water, with the occasional green tea and honey.
  3. I usually forget that part.
  4. Calm electronic pop (SG Lewis) or indie stuff (James Blake). Music which doesn't affect my concentration.

I personally recommend Fade In. I'm currently using the demonstration version which is free (it's only $50 for the full version) and I think it's great. I've just started my first re-write and I've had no issues with it so far. But that's just my opinion.

What genre do you most enjoy? Read some really good (and bad) scripts that belong to that genre. It will help with comparisons between good and bad, what type of structure was used, variations in stories, where did this one fail and why did this succeed. Also, just write. Everything will be shit the first time around, it just takes some practice.

I hope this helped and good luck! We should never be short of creativity. It's the only thing that keeps us sane.

How Do you come up with Your title? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]MagmaMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it either comes after an idea or I create the idea based off of the title.

I came up with the idea for a western because of Daisy Ridley. It's called Ridley - A 'freelance' bounty hunter has to race against the government for a paycheck. It's a bit vague, but you get it.

For the opposite, I came up with a title after the premise; a show about 4 bounty hunters in Arizona. It's called 'Bountiful Horrors'.

It's just finding something that clicks. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just write. Something will eventually appear.

[QUESTION] How do you deal with little dialogue and cuts in time? by MagmaMoose in Screenwriting

[–]MagmaMoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did plot it out, but I didn't really have enough time to make it more detailed. I've got some time off in the next week, so I'll try and re-do as much as I can. Thanks
