    treatment ChatGPT - A Screenplay Treatment Experiment

    Hello, I spent some time revisiting a story I shelved called Roshambo, but I decided to take the ideas I had so far, and share them with an AI collaborator. I was curious just how far advanced this technology was in weaving a compelling narrative using only the ideas and concepts I fed it...

    logline Logline Feedback - Any suggestions to improve it are welcome ...

    I have spent my morning playing around with ChatGPT and I have been struck with important discoveries. It is remarkably capable of understanding concepts, even those that are abstract and highly nuanced. It does not do such a good job of taking those concepts and weaving an engrossing story...

    I was intrigued and signed up to ChatGPT. Wow, this thing is scary. You're right about some of its limitations, though -- it cannot create a long screenplay and definitely jumps around your story ideas, but for small beats and select scenes, it does a pretty good job. Perhaps it is my fault as I...

    story Maps of Meaning

    A new documentary will be released this month detailing the absolutely horrific truth of what I was eluding to two years ago. The vaccine rollouts over the last eighteen months have resulted in death and injury to many unsuspecting victims of the jab. One of the strangest phenomenon is the...

    screenplay Chekhov's gun in the modern era

    In a short story I wrote called "LENDER OF LAST RESORT" I employed Chekov's Gun using the title of the story itself and a billboard atop a travel agency, as a funny play on words which comes together at the end :) ... Essentially its a comedy about an elderly man who runs a vegetable stand in a...

    screenplay Bar scene question ...

    That makes sense, in fact, I just found this on reddit that confirms exactly what you are saying. So this was my problem... The camera has indeed moved so it warrants a new slug line :) Thank you!!

    screenplay Bar scene question ...

    so you would have one slugline for one side of the bar and a separate slugline for the other side of the bar?

    screenplay Bar scene question ...

    This is the prior part of the scene for some context. So essentially Kayode is watching his friend's effort to pick up the girl from afar,

    screenplay Bar scene question ...

    Yeah, Kayode is watching from the distance, but the camera is closer to him but only for the last shot. The camera is closer to Adebayo and Morayo in the prior parts of the scene

    screenplay Bar scene question ...

    Hi there, I have a question about slug lines within a particular scene... Suppose we have two friends sitting on one end of a bar and they are looking across at a young woman, sitting alone on the other side of the bar. She is sufficiently distant that the men cannot hear anything from her...

    screenplay A mess of notes - organize to acts

    Hey, at least you figured it out! Sometimes scripts can be shelved for a long time and then the stars align and you are ready to dust it off and work on it again.

    misc How do writers go about researching material to flesh out their characters?

    As adaptations go, this was well done; much better than the others screenplays from the same series of books. The gore was kept to a minimum and the script was pretty tight. As for the book being better than the screenplay, that tends to be the case as it is hard to cram all the good stuff from...

    misc How do writers go about researching material to flesh out their characters?

    Yeah, he was no Ted Kaczynski. But I would imagine for those that don't get caught, they have to be pretty damn smart to elude capture. The cops, generally speaking, were not that smart in the Silence of the Lambs, especially those two guards that get killed by Hannibal Lecter in his escape...

    misc How do writers go about researching material to flesh out their characters?

    Horror movie characters usually have this flaw. How many times do we see victim after victim die the most ridiculous ways just to add tension. One that really comes to mind is Silence of the Lambs and the basement scene. Here we have this brilliant FBI agent and by rights, she should be dead by...
