Feeling enthusiastic now that I have started acting lessons, I realize folks that when it comes to screenwriting it is of paramount importance in later stages to get to know the other side, the actor in other words. Especially me that I am fond of writing scripts about “the entertainment industry”, every tiny or bigger detail matters…!
Currently I have completed my rewrite and I am thoughtful on the structure of my work that is known to screenwriters as “The 3 Acts Structure”. With this and that I am thinking of its potential progress. Later on, as soon as a script gets greenlit from a studio, it seems that the writer is no longer the lonely king in the entertainment industry, directors and actors have a say on the outcome…!
Me as a writer gets initial credits, even though the final draft may be a product of many writers, where the percentage of credits of each writer depends on many factors but is surely dependent on the relationships with the director and the actors as well.
This is why speaking the same language and reaching big lengths in art matters. But what matters more as the title of this post suggests is the continuous regression between 3 different arts, writing, acting, directing. In the beginning, the nature of this regression looks like a mosaic. We’re looking for tiny arguments and small axioms that shine a light to our life.
Then we go deeper and deeper until we realize that writers and artists independent of their education, must have a crystal-clear perception of the richness of their vocabulary, if they truly want to achieve goals and this is under no circumstances revelatory of previous comments on ambiguous school experiences.
In any case, the above do not indicate for writers a one-off process and it depends on the persistence and the hard work and the responsibility of the creator or the actor to complete his vision and reach personal fulfillment through his work. Isn’t this the dream after all? Have a great time folks!
