ha ha ha hi hi hi :woohoo: eeeeeeeeexactly. Every change to story has a ripple effect all the way through. Oh, and btw guys, we've made a few changes. You'll love them, ..... you know how the story used to be about a talking dog that goes to China to find his one true love who was kidnapped...

Yeah! Maybe my screenwriting expertise should be taken somewhere else, and your screenwriting lack of expertise should rise to the surface of the cyber centrifuge just like all the other two dimensional banality on the internet. No one makes substantial changes to story during production. That...

< There. That's me behind a camera. And in case you've forgotten what we're arguing about, it's this comment: Substantial changes to STORY? uhm .... er.....crapity crap crap crap So. Now I'm not only waiting for a title of a movie that has been through substantial story changes during...

And, you are not a guru chanting a mantra, you are a devotee regurgitating a mantra. That's kinda different. And I take offense to the armchair comment. I mean, it's obvious by your post count that you've been stinking up an armchair for quite some time now.

yeah, yeah, yeah, but did any of those movies get thrown up onto a screen. I mean, that's the aim, right?

oh, man, I've worked on a lot of films, back before I specialized in screenwriting. I.... even got a Kodak Award for Best Achievement in Cinematography. Which came with CASH. i.e. I DP'd for a bit. And not once have I witnessed anyone rewriting their story during production. That's gotta be...

And, hang on, just let me find the right emoticon: :crazy: oh, no, hold up... I'll be nice, this one: :woohoo: There's something really wrong going on if a forum doesn't allow writers to think of writing as ..... writing. You shouldn't be ganging up trying to FORCE people to agree with you...

And see, this sounds more realistic: When he says thoughtful rewrite, what he's talking about is liberating the script as a film, not rewriting the story. If your story is so flimsy that you don't even know what the story is, how will you even talk to anyone about it? Oh, it exists, so...

I was asking for titles of movies I might have seen that had their stories rewritten during production, and you post links for me to read. You sort of have to learn to write, before learning how to rewrite. Otherwise you're just shoveling mud around. You people glorify something some writer...

Maybe you can give us an example of a movie we may have seen that underwent story changes during production. I've never heard of it.

And now you're waggling this thread under my nose like a tail. Writing is not rewriting. Writing is writing. If it were rewriting, then it would be called rewriting, but it's not, it's called writing. Stop paroting these inane catch cries and then embracing them as some kind of law. You will...

II think it will work if the killer is the seer. That's it's him doing the killing, but he's unaware of it. But then that would be like Identity. Or the Sixth Sense. I don't know how you'd get around that. And I don't really like the mirror as the vehicle. Too simple or something. Or bright...

Oh, sorry. rayw. I didn't see your question. Uhm, I dunno, it's just the history of technology is .... revolting. The way it has brought about addiction to the screen. The mindlessness it causes. And the superficiality. Haven't you noticed how shallow Facebook conversations are? And the way...

I don't think you need to read "the bible" to know standard formatting. It's pretty simple. I think those books do damage to new writers i.e. death by suffocation. (But let's not have that argument again.) There are pages posted in other threads that are formatted. I think you've got something...

Your pacing is judged by the way the film plays out in the readers mind. It has nothing to do with white, black or spacing. Don't let formatting preconceptions decide how the script needs to be written. What we did in film school, was time each scene. You hold a stop watch, and imagine the...

Hey maybe instead of killing her in the end, he shoots her, but it only goes through her shoulder, but this is enough for her to finally have some respect for him, and say yes to his proposal.

please, stop

I don't mean to sound negative, but, I can't think of anything more boring than the history of technology, being narrated...... I mean, I'll be running out of the theater.

Found footage comedy/horror would be good. Something that turns out to be funny instead of scary.

yeah, maybe criticism isn't all that productive early on. I don't know. I wasn't criticized as a noob. I just wrote whatever I wanted without ever even thinking about asking for feedback. So I don't know. Maybe the only thing that matters is to write, and enjoy writing. Even going into...
