@TaroJ: Hi #scriptchat another pretty lean writing week for me :-(
October 14, 2012, 7:02 pm



 
@teenierussell: I actually do have a question. I'm struggling with protag job, how do you normally decide what their job will be? @Bang2write #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:03 pm



 
@teenierussell: @TaroJ Hi Taro, how have you been? #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Mine have been based on story needs thus far (a care worker & an art editor in one script for example) #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:05 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell If the job isn't crucial to plot try something that some b/g detail on may prove interesting for their character? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:06 pm



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell OK ... I have to clarify a few things first. Is their job connected to the story? What's the genre? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:06 pm



 
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I have a protag that gets made redundant but am finding it hard to decide what demanding job she has to start with #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:06 pm



 
@teenierussell: @Bang2write It's a comedy and protag gets made redundant at the start #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:08 pm



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel @teenierussell yes, but sometimes you can take that element too far, too. Sometimes all a character needs is a job #scriptchat

@Bang2write: @teenierussell something ppl can immediately "get" as being stressful wld be gd then? ie. a teacher, an administrator, a lawyer? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:09 pm



 
@teenierussell: @Bang2write @SiFoulaReel Just asking the question has made me wonder if we need to see her working at all. #scriptchat

@PINKTROID: RT @teenierussell: @Bang2write @SiFoulaReel Just asking the question has made me wonder if we need to see her working at all. #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:10 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell @Bang2Write Unless you really need it perhaps not, if the story really starts after the redundancy. #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:10 pm



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell if a job needs to be "thrown away
October 14, 2012, 7:10 pm



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell @SiFoulaReel jobs frequently don't figure. We never see Amber at work in @devmov, we just *know* she's a nurse #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:11 pm



 
@Bang2write: @TaroJ @teenierussell @SiFoulaReel rmbr Chandler in FRIENDS - we never found out what he does in 10 years' worth of shows #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:13 pm



 
@teenierussell: @Bang2write that's interesting I've been struggling to place her in a work environment, maybe I just need to work it in subtly #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:13 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write @teenierussell Plus, if you don't need it, not showing it saves page space, screen time, locations... #scriptchat

@PINKTROID: Hello Scriptchatters. :) Question: When one is writing a musical, does one write in the dance moves or just write in "dance"? #ScriptChat
October 14, 2012, 7:14 pm



 
@teenierussell: @Bang2write @SiFoulaReel Thank you for the help, I've already changed my whole opening in my mind, was just stuck on the detail #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @PINKTROID Unless there was something absolutely crucial and specific, I'd say keep it very general - "Dance Sequence". #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell @SiFoulaReel no problem :) #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell @Bang2write Excellent! #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm



 
@TaroJ: @PINKTROID good question might be worth trying to get hold of the script for something like Chicago, see how they did it #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm



 
@teenierussell: @PINKTROID I've not read or written one but I'd try to find scripts of the same genre as a start #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:17 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: Here's one - what the hell should my business cards say for LSF? I can't put the tempting "Simon Underwood - Me Write Good" #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:17 pm



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel How about "Simon Underwood, Writer & Filmmaker" Keep it simple! #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:18 pm



 
@teenierussell: @TaroJ Thank you #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:18 pm



 
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel oh yes you could :-) #scriptchat

@vickyhinault: Hey #scriptchat, what are people's favourite screenplays - written version not the filmed. Looking for some great new ones to read!
October 14, 2012, 7:19 pm



 
@daisy_and_me: @teenierussell @bang2write Can I ask about cover letters when sending spec/comp scripts? Should they be formal? chatty? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:19 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write That's what I was thinking - just felt a bit presumptuous! And when I presume I make a pres out of - no, wait. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @100_Day_SP A lot of people have Chinatown on their list, off to search for it #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:28 pm



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel @PINKTROID nooooo don't ever write "dance sequence" or anything like that! Dances should tell stories #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:28 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Ghop56 Thanks - I'm sorting them out tomorrow, so just trying to figure it out. #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write @PINKTROID And this is why I've yet to write a musical & you should listen to Lucy on this! #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:29 pm



 
@vickyhinault: @teenierussell 25th hour, Juno, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Social Network are great, really strong writers voice in the action. #scriptchat

@Bang2write: @PINKTROID @SiFoulaReel Just keep your dances short/get em to tell a story - check out BRILLIANT betrayal dance in STREET DANCE #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:30 pm



 
@phillbarron: @SiFoulaReel If you're writing, you're a writer. The majority of people at LSF haven't have anything produced, doesn't matter #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:30 pm



 
@phillbarron: @SiFoulaReel Filmmaker is a bit wanky, because it's nondescript and doesn't really mean anything. #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron That does make me feel better about putting on there, thanks. #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:31 pm



 
@vickyhinault: @100_Day_SP Thanks i'll check them out! Often I read scripts from films I love so is good to get away from the ones I know well. #scriptchat

October 14, 2012, 7:32 pm



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel @PINKTROID basically never ever write anything in a scene that amounts to, "IOU one dance/sex/singing/etc sequence" #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:32 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron Exactly, I don't want to come across as Garth Marenghi. "Here's my card, I'm a Visioneer..." Screenwriter. Simple. #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write @PINKTROID Ah, good point. I'm rewriting a script with a *key* song for a character. Lyrics I did are probably... #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:35 pm



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write @PINKTROID ...crap but do reveal emotional state. Keeping it in for now is best? #scriptchat

@Bang2write: @PINKTROID it's hard to know for def, I would get it read by peers + by actors if you can, work it out that way #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:37 pm

@TaroJ: @Bang2write @pinktroid would you write it in a similar way to an action scene? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:39 pm



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel yes, keep it in and punch it up so you're happy with it, never leave anything you're not #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:40 pm



 
@100_Day_SP: @Bang2write @PINKTROID The StreetDance 2 script refers to the emotional journey of the dance, rather than the specific moves. #scriptchat
