I just have read a critic saying "Up" has a simple and easy script... alright, take a pen and write something as simple as "Up". I dare you.
Writers don't usually talk about their working style, so I hope you found it useful. But it's just my stile. Do whatever you want.
and then polish it through lots of drafts. That's it. Although it varies from project to project (and lot's of times I go back and forth)
... I don't do treatments. they're only useful for the producer, so I jump directly to the first draft, trying to get it as fast as I can...
... after that, I write a "good synopsis", which is the synopsis I'm showing to the producers (more involved with selling than writing)...
... (digressing: "step outline" is the most important step when writing a sript. When you have a good one, you're aiming to success)...
... then, a one line step outline (all scenes, with no info, just a line, and some of them are missing), then a proper step outline...
My work process: bunch of notes and drawings (true), storyline, "previous synopsis"-no need to be good, only for my eyes, see what I need...
Okay, work process in scripts for most people follow this steps: storyline, synopsis, step outline, treatment, script.
Now, writing my "previous synopsis".
G'Night Joke "I honestly think that women are more intelligent than men. I also think that dogs are more intelligent than women" David Cross
Joke structure: Set up - twist - joke. Scare structure: Set up - twist - fright. That's why most comedy writers I know love horror films.
On Hughes: After watching Home Alone I created a "trap" dismounting our dinning table. After that, my mother decided not to rent Superman.
Writing rule #2: Less masturbating doesn't mean your story is better, so keep doing it.
Writing rule: the less interesting is your story, the more you find yourself masturbating on internet porn...
John Hughes is dead. Tonight I'm watching "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Just bouth a copy of "Shaun of the Death" script on ebay. Documentation, they say... hope it's a final draft, and not a transcript.
Now I'm doing documentation work... which means I'm afraid to start writing.
Out to the errands! Listening to Demetri Martin.
What happens when you discover that you can't even write a simple logline from your movie?
