Cheers NickClapper! Very helpful stuff mate. Will certainly be having a look at these sites. Theres so many scam looking sites, its good to know reputable ones which people have used :)

Hi all! Ok so this is a question about casting - something which I have very little personal experience in undertaking. This isn't relevant to my current production, though. As quite a general question, what are peoples routes for the casting process, and at what time do you ideally do this...

Thanks for the pointers - its all appreciated! Cheers

It is really such a great tool, having this forum. Although I'm new to it, and relatively new to filmmaking in general, its clear how passionate and knowledgeable people are here, its ideal for bouncing ideas around and getting really important feedback. Keep up the great work, and thanks...

Some great input again, thanks guys. Not sure if you understand what I am saying, or if I've explained it clear enough :idea: I intend on writing a screenplay with the flexibility to be partially improvised - I do not want it fully (even majority) improvised as such. I have previously used...

Thanks for the input FP! Will check out the link as well :)

Cheers Dreadylocks! Some really interesting ideas - having an extended improvised rehearsal - that would guarentee some though provoking script ideas for sure! Will check out the link aswell ;)

Another great point of view which I'll take on board, thanks for the input Rik!

Thanks for the great advice, CF! You've raised some really important points, and I was hoping for somebody with experience to contribute. You have cemented my feelings in terms of the scripting i.e. get everything onto paper, then at least there is a backbone and provides structure to which an...

Hi all! Ok so I've got a question on improvised, ad-lib dialogue in with respect to screenplay writing. I want some scenes improvised, both actions and dialogue, while some 'key' scenes will be more or less totally scripted. There is a reason for doing this, I'm not just being idle. The vast...

Spot on! Well, I'm confident in the story as a whole. I think I've got it straight in my head .. its kind of like a welcome dilemma i guess - I hadn't planned at all for this opportunistic structure variance, I guess I'm just seeking the views of people with the experience -:bow: and I...

Welcome to the forum! If your looking for screenplay tips, try searching the posts/threads, as there is a huge amount of information on this topic (or just click here to go to the screenwriting threads) People here are happy to give tips and advice, if you have a specific question :) Good luck!

Right on brother!! Upgraded to Premiere yippee ki-yay...:lol:

Thanks for both your contributions. I agree Rik, I think its such a simple point put is too often overlooked! I'm just torn by this dilemma, I could quite easily have my storyline 'diluted' throughout the whole of the film, or, the majority of the 'answers' in a 15minute hit at the end. I...

Hi all! I guess this goes for many genre of films, but in this case its in respect to horror and thrillers. Hypothetically speaking, if you have a 90 minute production, where in 'theory' should the most intense 'shock' scenes be? I appreciate this is quite a vague question, as I'm sure the...

Thanks sonnyboo! I don't feel stupid at all now :D

Hi all! Ok, apologies if this has already been answered, but where can you watch fellow indie made films online? Can you watch them in the Premier Lounge on here? I know of sites streaming big commercial stuff, but not sure if theres any indie based sites :huh: Cheers!

Thanks for the input, wheatgrinder! I agree - and while I am looking to shoot with an 80's camcorder, I want it to be of good visual quality - the type you would expect to see in, as you say, wildlife, scenic or investigatory documentaries of that time. Certainly not contemplating shooting it...

Thanks mate I've PM'd you.

I see! Well, I might have a few contacts who can sort me out with some sound and visual gear, but lets say for now, I don't. For this project, the 'environment' sound will be more important then the dialogue sound quality itself. So I need to get clean, crisp nature sound. It will be based in...
