Now folks that we’ve had a few experiences of the rotten elements of the environments surrounding us including authority schemes, etc, lets focus on the more creative concerns of what it means to reach, to go beyond and to surpass limits… I’ve mentioned in my creative writing forum that when it comes to art concepts and mere art independent of the diligent processing of words and meanings, there, we could be intellectuals, we could be Gods, inventors, visionaries, etc. Our art can be 100 years old even though our craft may still be a little baby! Since literature is already more complex than screenwriting, lets focus on screenplays to understand that better.
Screenwriting is exclusively audio-visual, allowing us to write only about scenic directions and dialogue. I have realized though that plain projection and linear positioning of scenic directions and dialogue make the script empty. Coverage of the page is not the same as literature and if we add to this fact that dialogues leave a lot of blank space, you realize you lose content, extra dimensions of characters and descriptions and important artistic elements that if not figured out by you, your consultants will…! So, let’s get deep with indirect speech in cinema and more complex scenic action! In the majority of cases this is how you welcome your analyst to discuss what you and the script need and what not.
Indirect speech and complex scenic action constitute the parallel universe where we get away from a flat script and we get dimensions. On the contrary, what could 3 lines of scenic action do to the characters if nothing at all? When we know for example that we get independent advice for concept, plot, structure, characters, can the previous be completed on the mere dialogue level? So, this means that a discussion becomes the elixir of the 100% that happens to characters? Of course not! It is not dependent from a mere discussion to how far characters go including humans in real life. Some people believe they possess the best experience in terms of power and creative power… Stalkerazzi is one way to achieve that…
Creative realities show that ingenuity in flexible systems, resilience and analyzing various means of expressing ourselves make the machine work. It’s not what you say it’s how you say it. It’s also show don’t tell. Conclusively, craft in the first years of a writer’s life is dependent not only on the creative effort but advice and guidance as well. Have a great time folks!
