I asked earlier in the thread about where to get scripts online and was told I could be banned for asking for illegal stuff. Just saying it to remind you that talking about unreleased scripts from studios might walk that fine line and the mods might warn you.

Maybe it was another thread in CD, I can't remember.

Usually when I'm writing something I'm thinking what songs would work great with the scene so it's really tempting to put it in there, but like everyone has said already it's almost always a good idea not to, unless it's just going to be something like a short film that you are directing or scoring yourself or are close with the director/music guy. If you are writing a spec and it somehow gets to the stage where it might actually get produced, then you can always give music notes to the director/producer and hope to have input that way. The reason a lot of the scripts you read online have music in them is because they are written by people who already established themselves. Charlie Kaufman spent years writing on TV staffs and I bet he didn't put music notes in during that time. edit: This is kind of related, but I wonder if the music in My Name is Earl was written into the scripts or who decided what songs to use. Every episode seems to have at least one song that costs a shitload to get the rights to. TheYellowFog fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Apr 8, 2011 |

You don't even need to include pan to reveal. Just use "Katherine sits on a bench in the distance, solemnly surveying the action". By the fact that it is Katherine who is the focal point of the sentence the reader automatically puts her in their vision, no need for camera directions.

The "Even if the side effects may include blindness" line was so bad. Imagine if that line was presented in this thread. People would be jumping down the writer's throat.

MixMasterGriff posted:Besides the copyright issue, you're assuming everyone has seen The Breakfast Club. If someone hasn't seen it, the entire point could be lost. So if you are going to make a reference, make sure that it is clear what it is trying to accomplish.
