Didn't you develop the story and the characters without hte dialogue anyway? Because if you did then it means that the screenplay credits could be as follows: Story by "You" Screenplay by "Friend (and you, if neccessary)"

That would be great - Thanks Will Vincent! If you could do that it would be very helpful. If you could ask the following questions: -For those applicants studying under the British system, do they need to send their secondary school grades to a credit evaluation service? If so, what courses...

What Filmy said is very true - you could try making the man more stable and making him lose everything in one go. Still, I guess it depends on what you're trying to get at with the story, what lies at the route of the whole incident. There could be a number of things that affect your characters...

I do want to study Screenwriting as my major, but I'm also interested in learning about all aspects of film, from cinematography to editing. The reason why I was thinking Chapman is because I heard their courses are very hands-on and you can learn many things about many different areas of the...

"I also understand Ray Bradburrys movie "Farenhiet 451" will be remade. this sickens me. I Hope someone can remake it well." I totally agree. Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favourite novels of all time, and as a SF-freak I was first enraged at the idea of remaking it, and I was worried that...

I think that you should show some of the relationship between the husband and wife before the shootout because it helps to set up what is to come. Instead of just racing into a shootout or hostage situation you could show what brings the three of them together. Also, to increase the connection...

"I'd be happy to call on your behalf, if you give me a list of questions and contact info for me to pass on to them so that they can mail you any other info." Thanks very much for all your help, I'll contact you shortly with a list of questions.

I look forward to that beer! Hopefully I'll see you there! Thanks for the info, I'll take that into consideration. Maybe I should call up the university and find out all their information...

I live in the UK and I'm studying under the UK educational system. I've been looking at film schools that cater towards my specific wants and needs. I ended up looking at doing Screenwriting at Chapman University in Orange County. The problem is that I'm not sure whether I need to submit GCSE (O...

I think that you should complete the screenplay first. Until you've completed the screenplay you can't say for sure what works and what doesn't because you can't see whether everything fits in. If you've honed down the 45 pages that you have I still wouldn't suggest submitting it to the 'net. In...

I understand that some people have a problem with violence and nudity that doesn't seem to have a place in a film. That makes perfect sense. The point I want to make is that some of the best films leave us with thoughts that repulse us, and maybe that's when you know they've got their point...

Does anyone know what film festivals accept science fiction work? I'm currently in the process of outlining a science fiction script and i was wondering which festivals accept science fiction work. Anybody help? :)

Good for you LoganL. Like Clive said critics are just people with opinions. Make the movie you want to make. Keep workin' hard.

It really does depend on the character and what you're trying 2 say about them. Some characters are bound to use foul language because that's the way that specific person is. It is also important that conflict exists. Remember that sloppy writing can appear in many different forms, and that...

vinnyd, well done for starting to write the screenplay. I'm 15 years old and I still haven't yet plucked up the courage to start writing a feature properly. The important thing is to get the script written, and then come back to it with a fresh eye and be ruthless. Remember to be true to your...

Thanks a lot for your help. I would much rather work in the States, actually, because of the prospects that it could bring. I agree that there are many differences between the film industries in the United Kingdom and in the US. The main reason why I want to write in the US is because I want to...

Thank you! Thanks to all of you for your help. I'm sure all of this information will be very useful to me! :)

I'm going through a bit of a dilemma. I live in The UK and I want to go to Film school. The thing is, I'm not sure exactly where I want to go. Are film schools better in the US? I also want to work primarily in Screenwriting for both film and television, but I also would like to direct and...
