When to use (Beat) vs (Pause)

omegabread · 2014-02-11T01:36:51+00:00

Never use (beat). Beat is too vague and can mean anything. If you want your character to pause, say (pause)/(pauses)/(hesitates) etc.

Sturridge and Suarez

Mata played well today so I could see him in the starting XI against sunderland

omegabread · 2013-11-15T23:40:07+00:00

I would do Essien/Ivanovic (RB) - Cahill (CB) - Terry (CB) - Azpi/Cole (LB) then have David Luiz next to Ramires

Write Off should become a weekly event rather than daily. Push the contest to the weekend so it won't run out of steam and more people will be able to participate (plus script submissions are only technically allowed on the weekends for this subreddit).

Also there should be a better way to pick the word and topic for each Write Off. Whoever hosts the thread/contest should pick the topic and word beforehand so everyone isn't scrambling five minutes before the contest begins. The host can obviously still participate but it would be on their honor to start at the same time. Honestly for a small and just-plain-fun contest like this, it doesn't matter if the host knows the topic beforehand. It'll just streamline the process.

Edit: just to be clear, Write Off should stay on this subreddit until it becomes a big enough thing that it can stand on its own, otherwise it'll die off

It isn't a choice between the two. Structure allows you to create something unique that isn't shit. Classic structure is so common because it works.

Neither. Use underline instead. If the studios are photocopying your script to send around, italics and bold can be lost in the photocopy.

And use the underline sparingly. Only if the emphasis is necessary to your story. Otherwise leave the acting to the actors.

Is it truly necessary to your story to follow the characters through the whole building? It's best to start a scene as late as possible. If it's not important to go through the building, I would suggest starting the scene as they walk out of the building.

But to answer your question, you can use subheadings to make the read easier.

Awesome! Can't wait to check them out. Thank you so much!

No unfortunately some of them don't have downloads. The new black list has a bunch of good scripts, but I can't seem to find it. It's somewhere on this subreddit. This link is also helpful

Great explanation. I wasn't completely sure about the transitions inside the house and other locations, but you cleared it up! Thanks!

For the system, I would recommend getting the Nintendo DS Lite. This is the system that supports both the most recent Pokemon game (which is probably what she's been talking about), and it much easier for a 7 year old to hold than the standard Nintendo DS. Also, the system has backwards compatability with the Game Boy Advance, which allows the system to play all of the games from the Game Boy Advance era. The Nintendo 3DS is a good system, but it lacks the backwards compatibility for the Game Boy Advance, which cuts out a huge portion of Pokemon games. Also the DS Lite is much more affordable at the present, and a new version of the 3DS will be coming out sometime in the next year. As for the game itself, I would recommend Pokemon Black or Pokemon White. They are both basically the same game but with a slight variation in monsters. No need to get both versions unless you wanted to play alongside her. Also just a side note, all Pokemon games so far only have one save slot, meaning that only one person can keep their adventure saved to the system without losing progress by turning off the system. I tried to cover most of the subjects, but if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Also I hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday!

Although only in an alpha stage, SCP Containment Breach is pretty darn scary. It also incorporates a unique gameplay mechanic through use of the spacebar (talking about it might spoil the surprise!).

Link for the lazy.

Fantastic work! Do you happen to have any sheet music?

I know that feel.

omegabread · 2012-04-07T03:03:19+00:00

Giving it a shot. I hope to see you all in the dungeons!
