It has to do with the writing and with moving the story forward. Each scene is supposed to do that. Saves time and money to cut scenes without shooting them you don't need.

Tires me, so it's a bit too warm.

She'll take it. As long as it isn't CamChap.

The idea behind (in the article) is that it's a real-time shoot. And shot only on one day - not the whole weekend. Friday is only for rehearsing and Saturday is for dress-rehearsing. The story is always the 90 critical minutes on one location before some main event. That makes it a not typical...

Loving this. Damn. With a good plan you truly can get a nice feature shot this way. I feel like doing it myself now.

Hi. It always depends, doesn't it? If it's just some random forest, who cares what it is called? But if the story is about Robin Hood, the Nottingham Forest means it's not just some forest, but THE forest.

Yes, except you could come up with better words. EXT. STADIUM PARK - DAY EXT. SPECTATOR STANDS - DAY

It can also be just a couple of pages, included in a pitch, when someone wants to see your writing style.

Here's all you need to know about how distribution works: someone else pays for it. Firstly, you only need a crowd-pleaser and to take the festival-route. Crowd-pleaser, in this case, being a movie that gives a festival a good reputation. People attending it because they've heard that this...

Found something about the editor: A story editor will come on board a project often when there is some development funding or financing in place, and usually when a producer and/or director is attached. A story editor can be invaluable in helping to unify the visions of the writer, director...

Hello Caryn. Do you want feedback to find more motivation or are you looking for solutions? People sometimes post things here and then never say another word. Your concept looks solid and good, but it's not there yet. Looks like I could have your last missing piece.

Funny. You say it's a total no-no and still look for a reason to do it. The reason it is a no-no is because it is cheap - the easiest way to lie. The twist ends that you can get away with are those where you feed your audience with all the hints, during the whole film, and still manage to...

Not about how many drafts you do, but what you have in your last. Some stuff do change the world...

Aaaanyway, I like the end result with this method, so it's not going to change. Figuring out the title is the worst part. Damn. Yesterday I was sure I had mine: Rob the Mob. But then I checked and 2014... someone was faster.

Yeah, I hope it's a good sign.

I only write one draft. Thank god for that.

The first if your story is plot driven and the second if it's character driven.

Yes, it's all bad, because you are not describing a one location movie.

And there we have a cut to another location. But yes, an interesting example. Solutions for an one location movie might be unproven but better.

He's wrong, obviously. With a solid construction a movie in one room can be as good as one with unlimited access to locations. The only thing you can't have in your movie is cuts from location to location. The rest you can have.
