script frenzy begins
so today is the first day of Scrip Frenzy! and i've got 700+ words written down to start off my script. i've been exploring the special short hands and set ups that are used in scripts. (the Screnzy forums are a great help, as well as the tutorials on the site.) but anyways, lets not bore you people with random talk of technical stuff. at least not today.
I'm unsure of weather scripts are my favorite form of writing though. i love working in a visual medium though, so scripts are for the most part important. it's just that with a movie script i have to consciously stop myself from OVER explaining things. if you over explain a characters actions and such, the actor is left without a place to put himself. all the artists that work on the sets can't put themselves in there if the sets are set out precisely in a script. it goes the same for all the other people who have a hand in the creation of a film.
but i still enjoy writing scripts because their so easy for me. for the exact reasons stated prior. their just not my favorite.
ANYWAYS! so the script is a sort of surreal mafia story. i've got some fun characters and some classic gangster personalities, with a bit of unique ability's for a few of the characters (not like super powers or anything, just small stuff.) I've gotta say i might turn this into a comic after, or actually film it. not really sure. but it'll go into my vault of writings.
anyways... that's pretty much all I have for today
peace out
