Script Notes: "A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction..."

http://evermorefilm.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-film-is-or-should-be-more-like-music.html?spref=bl

Film-related musings of a UK screenwriter. Wednesday, 22 January 2014. A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.". Following on from Chris Jones's fun blog post. About film composers, I felt prompted to consider not only my favourite film scores and composers, but also how much music is an integral part of my writing. With each script I write, there must first be a playlist. The heroic score to ' Superman. Or the mystery of ' The Black Hole. In no particular order. Whilst everyone kno...

Script Notes: "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job"."

http://evermorefilm.blogspot.com/2015/07/there-are-no-two-words-in-english.html

Film-related musings of a UK screenwriter. Saturday, 4 July 2015. There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job".". THAR BE SPOILERS AHEAD. BIG ONE'S, TOO. PROMISE. It's been a while since I've posted on here - mainly because I only write if I have something to say (which is generally a good rule of thumb, rather than just slapping out a few words that have little point or meaning in order to keep your 'on-line presence' up.). Last night I watched " Whiplash. It certainly pre...

Script Notes: There's A New Sheriff In Town...

http://evermorefilms.blogspot.com/2012/03/theres-new-sheriff-in-town.html

Film-related musings and day-to-day life of a UK screenwriter. The Guerilla Film Masterclass Network. Sunday, 4 March 2012. There's A New Sheriff In Town. It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer. The moral of Michael Lehmann's 1988 indie masterpiece "Heathers" must be 'be careful what you wish for'. Anything that seeks to broaden the horizons of film makers in order to create less-obvious fare will always get my vote.

Script Notes: April 2014

http://evermorefilm.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Film-related musings of a UK screenwriter. Saturday, 26 April 2014. In space, no one can hear you.". Movie trailers. The little teasers. At least that's what they're meant to do. But as we all know, they mostly show all the good parts, give away all the big plot twists and leave you knowing exactly how it's going to end. And then you still pay to see these movies, and have the audacity to grumble about how you'd seen the highlights in the trailer. And even more so - 'Aliens'. Do we trust him? Ripley does...
