As we know Reservoir Dogs played around with the normal structure of a movie. Pulp Fiction did this even more intricately. My question is this - would copying the structure of a Tarantino film be considered lazy, even though the majority of movies use the traditional structure and are...

I think that the woman was the Intruders wife/girlfriend (a photograph of them together is shown), having an affair. The man she was having an affair with killed the Intruder, and both of them realised at the end that he had killed her husband/boyfriend.

That was a very good short. I liked that there was zero dialogue. Did a great job with conveying information visually, allowing the viewer to put two and two together on their own.

My main goal with this screenplay for the moment is to get a first draft completed before the end of the year. It will be a bit of a personal triumph for me to do so because I have never written a feature screenplay before (I attempted one in my later teenage years, over ten years ago, but never...

That was pretty impressive!

Definitely. I'll refine it in future drafts. The unnecessary or ineffectively handled exposition trap is something I'm keeping at the front of my mind too because it's easy to just fall into it if one isn't careful. This script is horror/fantasy but there aren't any complex aspects in terms of...

This feature script is based on a short script that is now the first ten pages (the short script was about 14 pages) of this feature script, and in that short script I had a lot of dialogue from both the protagonist and the antagonist. I have cut out a lot of what they say because there was one...

I'm working on the first draft of a feature length script and the approach I'm taking with it for this first draft is writing very little dialogue, and relying more on conveying information visually. What do people think of this approach, and what are the pros and cons? As it's my first feature...

The more shorts you do, the more you learn, and the better you get :) good luck with your next one!

That was an interesting short. I liked that it was all in black and white. The music was excellent, and atmospheric, matched the tone and feel of the visuals.

Please post the entire film here once it's completed, I would definitely watch it :)

I have a YouTube Channel called Phantom Filmmaker. What you will find there are original music compositions, and some random videos with weird imagery. But I do want to add more short films. This one is a very basic, straight forward short that is under 2 mins in length. The reason for posting...

I liked it. Congratulations on completing your first short! I do think it needs to be shorter than it is but overall it was a concept executed well.

Kung Fury was released on YouTube on the 28th of May and within 24 hours it received over 3 million views - it now has about 8,251,844 views. The film was crowdfunded via Kickstarter, receiving approx $600, 000 in donations. It is an action comedy love letter to pop culture of the 1980s from the...

That's okay :D I forgot to mention that I liked the addition of the accident, that was good.

This is something that struck me: MARY You need to forgive him. Nathanael's dialogue here could be cut as it's exposition the reader/audience has already read/seen, and in terms of the character's perspectives they would know what they're talking about without Nathanael needing to...

Congratulations on completing the short, it feels good when you've put it all together and it's finished. Here is my feedback: I liked that when the character was in the cafeteria it was loud with all the background noises of people speaking, and when he opened the book everything went silent...

They say that a movie gets made three times - screenplay, filming, and finally editing. So, you will definitely find things change from one part of the overall process to the next. Maybe what you could do is organise a table read with anyone who would be willing to speak as your characters, and...

Ultimately you will have to decide for yourself which way you want this screenplay to go. I don't know your plans with this particular screenplay but there has to be a point where you say "I am happy with what I have." and then either take the next step with it or move on to another screenplay...

I have an update on my conundrum with my screenplay. I finally figured out a solution to the issue. My first goal, since this is my first feature screenplay (that I will have completed, I attempted one years ago but never went through with it), is to get the first draft written from my completed...
