Nomski0: E-Ze! I loved his powers. He manipulates time, alters time-flow......breaks the space-time continuum, transcends time... oya where is your question? |

Heathen: In what way is the World anti-christian?Don't you think the world is 'anti' everything? |

John woo has gone back to his country. A dream brought him to hollywood and a dream has taken him back home. We all know what happens when you leave hollywood. I just like the point he has proven during his hollywood adventures. |
I love Rodriguez more than Tarantino..anytime anyday. But the style tarantino brought to writing and directing makes him obviously better than his buddy. These two guys have been very close friends for ages.

Ikamenze: Its a not perfect bro......there's nothing like a perfect script..Ahhh...Ikamenze how are you na.. I like the above statement...there is nothing like a perfect script. @villageboi..I'm shocked really,I was expecting some harsh criticisms from you...I thought you were gonna give him the same treatment you gave me when I made my first post......Have you gone soft or is shola a close friend of urs,u don't wanna hurt his feelings ryt? Lol......I remember your story from like last year or so,... ...every body is just trying to make every body get better...there is nothing to it. |
Good morning everyone. |
Briareos: Yes. But it is not encouraged. |
IT IS WELL. |
Only 10-4..? Where is 3-1..na...? You said top 10. |
VillageBoi: Last night I saw a pre-release screening of 'Prisoners'... the start is a drag but it later picks up and is quite good.I thought only critics attend pre-screening pls enlighten me. |
VillageBoi: I can't remember which thread but I did mention a long time ago that I'm not even a 'writer' and I only do it if I have absolutely no choice, hence me always looking for writers here & elsewhereBut you are actually very good in writting. This piece can actually become a classic here on NL. It is not about idea or 'feel' or errors...it is all about style. And your style is impressive...I don't know why people don't look deeper. Tarantino was not even that a good writter, but he brought a style in the '90s that nobody could beat. You've got a writting style that can win awards--even my broda speedy knows this...hahaha! |
@sholay2011 Let's go over a few things together. I know you're already past this. But let's revise the basics together again. This is just so you know when someone is advicing you 'on point' or 'off point'. So lets talk about 'VISUAL' which has been pointed out by someone. -:Okay, this script of yours can actually become a classic on NL. I hope to be able to use villageboi's 'mothering heights' and this one(when re-written/edited) as references when doing script-chat on NL. --- -:They say "a screenplay must be written visually." WHY? -:The reason is that a 'film' is a visual medium. And a screenplay is the blueprint of the film it will one day become. So if the so called 'blueprint' is not visual how will the medium be visual? --- -:They say "as a screenwriter, you must 'SHOW' what is happening in a story, rather than tell." BUT HOW? -:It can be done by writing what your audience will SEE and what they will HEAR. -:So just write; THE PICTURES, THE SOUNDS (a bang!, thud! etc), THE SPEECHES (dialogue), and THE ACTIONS. -:Now using 'mothering heights' as a reference, this are the elements you see the writer of that short film used effectively. -:Now this is just basics. Those who have found their voices don't even use the basic rules these festival people are taking so seriously. E.g Tarantino writes without obeying some conventional rules and still wins Oscars for it. --- That's all.! You're very good...if ar fit write like you ehn...charlie kauffman for dey fear me. |

@tony yayo -It was good of you to have made those observations. -I understand you quite well. We are all learning to become better. -But, Let's first take our mind off niaja producers and concentrate on international competitions and festivals. --- So let's take it down bits by bits so that other people can also learn. --- -:First any short has the potential of becoming a feature. And there are many box office movies out there that were originally conceived as shorts. --- -:The screenplay above has no resemblance to a stageplay. -:Also, what sholay has written is a spec script not a shooting script. -:And you must have learnt from screenwriting101 that a spec script should never contain elements of the shooting script. Just so they can be differentiated. --- -:The people who said "Show. Don't Tell" didn't mean it was all about writing 'we see' or 'SHOTS'. -:Showing a story in a screenplay is all about THE CHOICE OF WORDS. -What this means is that instead of writing "A Dirty Room" in your action line for example, you should write words like "an empty can of beer on the floor, scrumpled papers etc"; words that with give the reader a general picture of the scenery (A Dirty, unkempt room). This is what 'Showing' means. Whoever told you otherwise should be questioned. --- -:When writing spec scripts, it is conventional to avoid adding elements of shooting scripts like Camera angles, Shots, Cuts or editing notes. The spec script is the one that is mostly submitted to festivals&competitions and it is sometimes called a 'virgin.' -:If SHOTS are to be inserted in spec scripts, it has to be important and totally unavoidable. e.g; Shots like John's POV, C/U, INSERT, etc can sometimes be unavoidable. Also "DISSOLVE TO" can be used with subtlety to 'show' time transitions or time lapses. Like sholay could have used in "11mnths after". But a spec script cannot be axed for not using 'shots' in competitions/festivals. NEVER! --- tony yayo, I've seen your work and I know you're very talented. Don't worry we shall all get better. |
sholay2011: I would look into that, papa mod.FinalDraft will help you convert it to pdf. |
Briareos: correct. you get to ask the next questionYayyyyy....! OKAY _____ What is the name of the writer and director of 'star wars':revenge of the sith; who just sold his company and donated the proceeds to educational charity? |
Briareos: So, I guess I should ask the first question;King godfrey. |
