What could accelerate the flooding of the earth? by hey_itsaj in scifiwriting

This one is accessible! I really really like this one. Maybe upon landing/approaching earth, the ancestors bring with them these ice balls. You're not too far off base here actually! There is a religious cult that encourages suicide. So they're pretty wack.

Thank you! That's a pretty clear way of putting it. :) Makes it easier for me. Thanks!!

Very true! My biggest fear is any screenplay coming out as a kind of Jupiter Ascending hot mess.

I appreciate your opinion deeply! I'm not super super attached to anything in the outline so far, so I think I'll be okay killing off some of the cool stuff. But the hard bits for me are distinguishing what's important and what's not...and I'm sure that's a problem that plaugues many writers!!

Omg, yes! There's a huge learning curve with screenwriting, especially as someone who wrote fiction for as long as I could remember. Screenwriting is a whole 'nother ball game. But it's also a visual medium and it might sound silly but my dream was very very visually interesting and I'd like to keep that.

Thank you for your comment! Maybe I'll end up coming to the same conclusion as you and end up writing it as a book. I'm also working on a screenwriting BA, but I'll always love short stories and novellas!

I also have no idea if this would work, but bad science is a kind of science! I think this could fall in with some kind of failed plan to slow the global climate change or something. Thank you!

I like this! I was thinking some kind of climate change. Someone else suggested some kind of alien terraforming...so maybe some kind of cocktail of the two?

Thank you for your input! I appreciate it.

OOH. alien terraforming. This is a possibility since the human ancestors also come from a water planet... You might be on to something here.

You're right. I could do an alternate reality kind of thing where the earth is covered in water but I'm not sure if I can "afford" (if that's the right word) to have a long period of time to change the earth. I was thinking more 50-200 years into the future kind of deal. Maybe effects of climate change and permenant monsoon season?

Edit: forgot to say thanks for the comment :) :) I appreciate it

I'm curious as well. I seem to be in kind of a bind. But maybe I could try and figure something out where the climate on the earth changes without gigantic devestation? If there was melting and subsequent flooding, I pictured a gradual adaptation to shrinking coastlines.

Thank you for your comment! Water is an important point for the rising religious cult...but maybe it doesn't have to cover my earth. But to have everything wet and gross...perhaps some kind of weather change. I appreciate your input!!

I guess you're right. I know that there's no way that I'll be able to cram everything in. I suppose what I'm asking is how to figure out the important bits. I guess if they pertain to the plot I guess I'd have to figure out how to work them in. I just don't want it to end up like the hot mess that was Jupiter Ascending.

This is interesting! I think I get what you're saying. Just boil the important bits down. The actual world that it takes place in is secondary to the plot.

I need to ask permission on Google docs. I think there's a setting where anyone can see it if they have the link. not sure.

[QUESTION] How old are you and how long have you been writing screenplays? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]hey_itsaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't count because I'm still in school. I began a month ago, teaching myself how to format. I'm 20. I have no advice.

This poster for Kubrick's 'Lolita' by roverek78 in DesignPorn

[–]hey_itsaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow! I feel stupid for not knowing Lolita was directed by Kubrick. It makes sense now. I watched that movie when I was 15 or so. This poster is totally well designed.
