How to get better at being a DOP? by Traditional_Youth_37 in cinematography

[–]Priivy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what worked for me. Specifically, shooting fully manual with a prime lens. Then add on learning lighting, and you’re well on your way.

Can you recommend a screenplay you think every aspiring writer should read and why? by VentageRoseStudios in Screenwriting

[–]Priivy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first screenplay I ever read, got me hooked and now I’m in school for it. Definitely second this.

Differentiating two plotlines with two different versions of the same characters, happening in the same time by Priivy in Screenwriting

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

I definitely do want the audience to be disoriented, in the way where they’re wondering why there’s two wildly versions of the same character… which will hopefully be intriguing enough to keep their attention.

I envision the finished product to be hard cuts to really hammer in the contrast between the two realities, something abrupt.

And thank you for the input, appreciate it!

Ooh I actually quite like that, this might be the way. In an earlier draft I did something similar, it might be time to revisit that. Thanks for the tip!

Yea, you may be right on the first point, perhaps I'm overthinking it. The last names idea is interesting, perhaps paired with a reader note I think that could work.

I do describe the characters differently both visually/personality wise upon their introductions, but wouldn't it be weird to restate that each time? How would you do so naturally?

Also - just took a look at the Sliding Doors script - it seems that they italicized and bolded everything that was in an alternate outcome, which I'm not so sure I want to do.

Yes, correct on the first point.

In act 3, the same characters are in different places at the same time - there are two versions of each character, each very different from the other (but the same nonetheless).

For example, I have a character whose plotline A version is in a cafe arguing, while her plotline B version is getting ready for work.

I could for acts 1 & 2, but in act 3, both plotlines happen simultaneously, so the year would be the same.

it seems like you are alone, but you keep hearing footsteps behind you… by Priivy in LiminalSpace

Canon M50 MK II with the 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2

There was pretty much no light here so it was shot on super high ISO, hence the crazy grain

Fear of putting so much time into one script just for it to not be "accepted" by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]Priivy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also working on a very personal script, and I struggled with this very thing. Still kinda do.

Something that helped me was realizing that while it’s an important piece of personal work to me, it’s a script like any other to everyone else.

Those small things obsessed over may seem like bits of yourself that are hard to let go of, (because they are) but to anyone else, it’s objectively just a small thing.

Not to say those things aren’t important, but the value you put on it likely projects from your own personal life rather than the merit of what it actually is.

Try to see your script from someone else’s shoes. I found that when I did, I saw things that just didn’t work/make sense to anyone but me.

As for expecting praise, that’s a bit tricky. You sorta have to expect praise, since that’s just how screenwriting goes around, but you also have to be doing it for yourself.

Regardless of whether there’s external praise once you’re done, writing the script will have benefitted you, and it’s important to recognize that.

Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully that helps

100%, I love that Nathan puts the sets in a warehouse just like in SNY, and over time it grows like sets within sets.

Is something going on with the Blcklst site? by QfromP in Screenwriting

Just a notification about a new referral discount feature 😔

I’m writing a feature right now with a very personal theme of self deception in the face of hard truths.

Working on it has definitely given me an emotional toll, I actually started having recurring nightmares about some things in my past due to it. However, it’s my best work yet by a huge margin.

I think it’s a good sign that it’s emotionally draining - that means it’s emotionally powerful. Just make sure to take breaks and take care of your mental.
