Primarily the latter, by means of the former! :cool: The first "grown-up" theatre play I ever went to (won the tickets in a letter-writing competition as a schoolboy) was about Galileo trying to convince the Church of this stupid idea that maybe the Earth orbited the Sun, so I've had a...

Well, as they say, that changes everything. For that part of the script, I don't know why you'd bother with any kind of an "interesting" background. There are, for me, two major problems straight off: (1) Based on that excerpt, this isn't a documentary, it's an opinion piece, and the opinion is...

Greetings! :hi:

I'll tell you what's scary: At the start of the week, I was a sad old man living alone in the back end of nowhere. Now I'm a sad old man with a load of cats! :scared: The cat I thought might have been the mother is, in fact, BigBrother (the spotted tabby on the left) about 4-5 months old...

These are two contradictory statements! You can't write a succint summary of a plot destined to attract the attention of viewers (which is what a logline is) if the story hasn't been written and may yet develop in unpredictable ways. As you've described your objective above, you have an...

Yep - it's an interesting start. I'd go along with @mlesemann 's suggestion of avoiding the overt use of the word "death" straight off like that, but I think the erotic asphyxiation is a humerous touch. Perhaps you could develop the reading of the list a little bit to include other common forms...

I think these two points are related. To answer the second one first: no, I didn't - after about a dozen selections, I ended up in a loop with the same choice as earlier and by then, I'd had enough of sitting in a boat floating down a river :mope: so went off to play CGPGray's...

Went out to the barn this afternoon to look for some timber and found ... Well, now missy, where did you come from? We haven't had authorised cats or kittens here for many a long year. Well, un train peut en cacher un autre, as they say on all the best...

Visual interest and section length would, for me, go hand-in-hand with the story and the choices, so it's hard to comment usefully on the former given that it was essentially an exercise. From a practical point of view, I lost interest in the story after the first minute, so played the rest of...

Not really - as I said, it was a few years ago, so it's entirely possible the places I saw/visited have been repaired/demolished since then, but based on recent news footage I've seen of decent areas I walked through that since become desolate fentanyl-zombie-infested zones, I doubt there's any...

Ehhhhh ... right outside. A few years ago I compiled a photo-essay "State of the Nation" illustrating the decrepitude of the US's major cities. I have half a dozen pictures from the "SF Bay Area" if that's still your location. I also found myself quite by accident in "a dilapidated old library...

:hmm: What's not feasible about picking one or other of those? It sounds to me like you need to take time to tour your local area (on foot) and have a look at what's available in the way of locations. That'd probably be a lot quicker, easier and cheaper to do than to trying to master a software...

Let that be your guide. These are not very location-specific themes, so you can instead look for "metaphorical" locations inspired by the examples given and/or actual phrases used by your interviewees. Think of working backwards instead of forwards: identify a real-world illustration of...

I'm confused. :hmm: Are you asking about locations for your own straight to camera narration (the underlying narrative), or locations for interviews with the scientists (specific contributions to/opinions about the subject)? If it's the former, you could do the simplest thing and stand in front...

Well, now - that's an introduction! (and a refreshing change ;) ) :hi: Greetings, from another subscriber to the "head in the clouds, feet on the ground" philosophy.

"A [three-day] timelapse shot of a coastal town, wide-angle view as seen from from the sea" or "Panoramic view of a town seafront, as a [number of days] timelapse"

Ah yeah, I'm very familiar with that particular piece ... though I'd stop short of describing it as cool. More "alright-ish" - good background music. :devil: To the best of my knowledge, I've never been insulted, abused or otherwise psycholocigally traumatised by a harpsichord, but ... I dunno...

Thought it was more a case of Cinderella at first, when she disappeared on the stroke of midnight 2am just as I hurrying towards her to ask for one last dance. Gone, just like that, and not even a glass slipper left behind ...:abduct: But she was back for the next evening, the whole of it. And...

Agreed. I think a huge amount of "content" on the Internet is nothing more than a substitute for the kind of low-investment discussion that takes place around water coolers, in bars/pubs, or any other gossip-friendly meeting space. In most of those situations, you'll get a few "talking heads"...

It seems to me that you're confounding two different concepts in that statement. First, that automation is a/the solution to practical problems (yes it is, sometimes, and sometimes it isn't); and secondly that all creativity is ultimately transactional, and financially transactional at that...
