    Reasonable percentage of profit for cast & crew? - Creating a Legal Contract

    I'm sorry, I clearly misunderstood the carrot analogy in that sense! Thanks for your help directorik! We'll see how this turns out. I'm sort of already half way into making the percentage / points kind of deal considering I previously told them some sort of such a deal will take place. Sounded...

    Reasonable percentage of profit for cast & crew? - Creating a Legal Contract

    Thanks guys for your thought and input on this, I truly appreciate your taking your time helping me! Reading your comments though I realised the need for more information about the project and my situation. I've been very honest about the financial conditions of this project to everyone...

    Reasonable percentage of profit for cast & crew? - Creating a Legal Contract

    Well, it's a long story, it's actually more like 8 month, but I took two years off to learn how to write, I studied the art of screenwriting and during that time I wrote several versions of the story we're now planning to shoot. I didn't turn into Aaron Sorkin overnight, it took a lot of...

    Reasonable percentage of profit for cast & crew? - Creating a Legal Contract

    Hi, Two years ago I began writing on a micro budget feature. The script is now complete and we're currently in pre-production. I'm currently working on making a legal agreement for everyone involved to sign before we start shooting. Since this is a micro budget project, I don't have a lot of...

    Record 3 XLR microphones to Atomos Inferno using Zoom F4?

    Hi, We're about to shoot a micro budget feature this summer and since we can't bring a 'real sound person' aboard due to various reasons, we're now looking at alternative ways to get good quality sound and to avoid having to sync audio/video manually (or any audio/video syncing issues in...

    How to format Intercut sequence between two version of the same scene?

    No it's just a few parts of the movie where we revisit some past events. I'll see how it plays out once the script is done, take a step back and look at the whole. Maybe something like this: MIKE'S FLASHBACK - INT. ROADSIDE BAR - NIGHT Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...

    How to format Intercut sequence between two version of the same scene?

    Well, it's really a montage scene where we see two interpretations of how this specific event 'could have unfolded'. It's not meant to give any answers, more so to raise questions. It makes sense later on in the film, but not when we see it, but it serves a purpose to the story, to my vision (I...

    How to format Intercut sequence between two version of the same scene?

    Hi, In my script there's a sequence where we get to hear and experience two versions of the same scene, told from two different characters as they recall what actually happened (also in different settings). But, I don't want to divide them into two separate scenes playing them one after the...

    How to format recurring scenes?

    Thanks for your input! The structure of this story mimics the order in which the protagonist uncovers more and more data related to a new scientific discovery. It's as confusing to the reader / audience in the beginning as it is to the protagonist trying to put the pieces together. As the story...

    How to format recurring scenes?

    That's not a bad idea! However, I feel in those cases, each repeating scene is a new scene in it's own, it's essentially a new version of a previous scene, not the same scene repeating over and over again (maybe Triangle is different, haven't seen it). It just came to my mind the Inception deals...

    How to format recurring scenes?

    Hi everyone! I'm currently writing a screenplay where a few scenes recur throughout the story. It's not just for the sake of it, they place an important part in the story and structure of the screenplay. Some people I've spoken to say it's a matter of editing, but I disagree, since each time we...
