    Realism in script writing

    Some genuine LOLS in this thread so far! I go with the "actors make it realistic" angle. Plenty of films out there where I don't even believe the guy who said he was going down to the shops is even actually going down to the shops...nevermind the chinese gays and all the rest of it!

    Stoker Really really enjoyed it. It does 'macguffin' on for a good while, and about the hour mark I still wasn't sure what I was watching but it looks incredible and the final third is deliciously well done. Think Hitchcock meets Lynch. Has been stuck in my head since I watched it. Can't wait to...

    90+ views no comments/feedback. *sad face* I can only imagine the prospect of a conversation after a funeral isn't too appealing to you all... So... Lets try little more 'tease' in the tag... "After a funeral two friends try to find some closure but instead begin to realise that what they...

    Who is Your Favorite Director and Why?

    Lars Von Trier is my current favourite. An absolute master manipulator and joyful provocateur. The manor in which he switches between genres and styles but invents such a strong visual narrative for his films (or sets of films). Similar to Kubrick in that respect, who is another favourite...

    How do I get cast and crew to go a little crazy with me?

    Sounds like you're painting yourself into an impossible corner... if the other people in the shot are just normal random people from everyday life...you'll have ONE chance to get it and the set up time will be really long.. what if there's nobody about?? What if someone trys to help out and...

    Wes Anderson Movies

    I do like Wes Andersons films. He creates a very unique world for his films to exist in, both visually and with the characters he creates. I think that is hugely commendable. However he does appeal strongly to the instagram-hipster community which I cannot abide and always initially puts me off...

    A little exposure problem...

    I'm not sure using the LCD as a gauge of exposure is totally ideal, but we probably all do it. Use the Histogram/Vectorscopes in ML to get a better idea of the exposure levels. The issue I had was that the footage was always much darker than the image I was looking at on the LCD. All I did...

    1st Draft Treatment Reviews Needed

    It's an ok first draft.. still feels a little hokey to me though. Some nice creepy bits and main plot points covered they just need smoothing out. Your beginning should be improved. Para 3... "kids that could read and write well," I'm sure that should be "couldn't" but more importantly it's...

    Can't really add anything that hasn't been said in previous comments on your youtube page. High production values in the action scenes are totally washed out by a poor script and acting.
