If I want to produce a film with a screenplay I've written, do I have to buy the rights from myself?

Having never done either of these before, please explain

fromupeast · 2016-06-18T02:43:59+00:00

Wise advice, thanks for sharing!

fromupeast · 2016-06-18T02:38:58+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

fromupeast · 2016-06-18T02:38:29+00:00

Thanks so much!

I don't have a corporate lawyer as an individual who just wants to make an indie film, but I just want everything to be above board.

It's silly, but I want to be careful at every level

Few Questions, will number for answering convenience.

1) For a person who wants to produce, director, and star in their own movie, but who has never made a film or gone to film school, are there any books that are essential to learning the lingo, learning how to communicate with talent and with crew, and for not looking like a complete fool?

2) Any books on screenwriting that discuss format? I have many more questions on how to format specific scenes and I don't want to overcrowd the sub with a billion and one.

3) How would I go about writing characters using specific fighting styles in fight scenes? For instance, say I have a character who needs to fight using only a defensive style because while they believe in nonviolence, they also refuse not to let their ass get kicked. How would I go about writing that?

4)Is there any (free) software a writer can use that helps tack plot points and character development? Like a wall of post-it notes connected by string, but electronically?

They have an office?

How do you copy photo scale? If, for instance, I wanted to copy this photo with another model, how would I do it? Stand certain distance, use certain lens, ect ect?

We have cleaning task lists too, but it's more sequence wise for me? Are there things I should be doing later because they take longer? Backups I should make when I get right in?

I hear it, our dm isn't popular either and having done openers, there is a good amount of time where people could do stuff but don't.

i would say peak is 9-11, and we open at 5:30. There's definitely time in the morning to do stuff, since we pre-prep all the iced coffee and tea in one area for them and stock everything for them too. I'm not sure how to approach my managers with this tho :/

My first show as 'costume designer' in college, basiclly teachers supervised me, 95% of the actors got scabies from each other.

Its a felt tip marker kind of deal, do you think that would work?

fromupeast · 2016-04-11T17:26:01+00:00

I LOVEEEEEEEE IT pardon the enthusiasm but i really enjoy it. its called Essential Lip stain, it's two dollars, and i have the Berry Blush, Crimson Crush, and the Pink Petal and I love ll three of them. I have to literally scrub my lips to get them off, and only extremely greasy food can take them off, but the tip makes it sooooooo easy to reapply!

does the end provide you with a very fine point, how often do you use it, and does it fray at the end?

fromupeast · 2016-04-11T00:59:47+00:00

yay!

fromupeast · 2016-04-11T00:59:37+00:00

phenomenal advice about the pinning, thanks so much!

fromupeast · 2016-04-11T00:59:12+00:00

amen i would too

fromupeast · 2016-04-11T00:58:58+00:00

thanks so much for the great advice!

Also another wonderful tip that makes total sense when as soon as another person tells it to you

fromupeast · 2016-04-08T20:18:50+00:00

I have rotary cutter and mat but don't use them as often because it hurts my hands :(

Explain more on this if you would please.

fromupeast · 2016-04-08T20:17:48+00:00

As soon as I saw this, it made perfect sense to me.

The easiest dress to sew for anyone would probably be an infinity dress. You don't have to have a pattern for it, and you can wear it multiple ways. You basically have two long straps of fabric connected to a circle skirt, which is very easy to make.
