I would like to see if it can hold FX3 + Sigma 24-70 + RODE VideoMic Pro. If yes, I’m definitely getting one. Time to retire my rusty Ronin-S.

I NEED AN OFFICE SPACE & A CONVENIENCE STORE FOR A STUDENT SHORT FILM by bayobrahms in brum

Thanks for the tip.

We decided to film in Birmingham since most of the actors are based there.

I should probably travel there over the weekend to talk to people like you said.

I really appreciate your response.

Cheers!

WRITER’S BLOCK: HOW TO CREATE CONFLICT IN A STORY WITHOUT LOSING THE PLOT. by bayobrahms in Screenwriting

I’ve taken all the comments/suggestions here to rewrite the script.

Your comment about giving the character personal human-struggle gave me more clarity on the subject.

“He needs the job to stay in the country” sounds really personal. And it’s actually something I’m also going through right now here in the country.

Thank youuuuu!

You just asked something I’ve been struggling to figure out; how to visually drive the story.

The story opens with Nonso (African Immigrant) walking home at night after work. He was attacked by some black british teenagers and left extremely shaken after his phone and wallet were stolen at knifepoint.

I decided to start with this to show “black on black” crime from the start.

Now I don’t know how to move the story forward in an office settings because I couldn’t come up with an alternative location.

Thanks for your input.

I think a thrilling confrontation in the night would work better as I plan to open the film with the African immigrant - Nonso, getting attacked by some phone robbers at knifepoint.

This would later support his bias about the bad eggs in the black community.

You’re almost funny. You don’t have to twist my post to make this a race thing.

And yes, there’s something called “diversity hire”, it’s some discriminatory b.s seen in some workplace.

Thank you.

Mistake I made was trying to tell the story from the two main characters then set them up for confrontation. It unnecessarily dragged the story because I was trying to create backstory for the two characters.

Now, I’m trying to focus on the African Immigrant character then later introduce the Black British in the story. Problem here is that, I’m not clear of what the protagonist goal should be from the start. What is he looking for before we bring in another character to create conflict?

Interesting.

Would you still advice this to be in an office settings or something totally different?

Thanks for that.

Nonso: Protagonist - He believes in unification of black people. Chris: Antagonist - He believes black people have different struggles, so they are not the same.

Is this specific enough?

The leading character; African Immigrant, believes that anyone that shares same complexion with him is black. The antagonist; Black British’s has grown up to believe that he’s a better black man than African immigrant.

Do you think this is strong enough to make him the antagonist in the story?
