This is fantastic advice. Incredibly precise and you can immediately see how the writing is elevated. I love the notes on underwriting as someone who has struggled with it for quite some time.

I love your videos sir ! but I don't understand ... why is wrighting like a book is important if everything will be videotaped and those choices are all on a director ? I have a script English is not my first language .. I have everything written but not like a novel ... more direct language .... can I try showing my script like this ?
This video got me absolutely hooked on Scriptfella. I've been struggling for a long time with my writing, as I was watching more and more of these types of screenwriting videos I felt like I was just cutting and cutting my scrips and never adding. My scripts had gotten shorter - but they still felt dry, and I felt none of these videos hit that nail on the head. Then I discovered Scriptfella! A couple videos in, and a watch of the free masterclass - I now understand what's wrong with my writing. I hadn't found my voice, and I wasn't writing cinematically, in terms of shots. I'm thrilled to get writing again with this new-found knowledge. I'd love to buy the line by line script reviews, or even the masterclass, but sadly they're just way out of my budget. Either way, these free videos alone are such great help! I want to leave my gratitude here for how much this has improved my writing, and fired up my creativity again.
Good to know Brian. If you enjoyed this vid, a Scooby sense tells me this free class will also hit the target with you - FREE MASTERCLASS Seven Screenwriting Mistakes Stopping You Getting an Agent www.scriptfella.com/mistakes-masterclass
What does one do if the goal is not become a professional screenwriter, but see your own work produced? That is, how does one gather the buzz around specific IP? Publish it as novel? Comics/graphic novels? Shoot a trailer/short Go for broke and self produce it?!?
Really appreciate all the information you've put out there. Been using it a lot lately and picked up on the disdain for the use of "CONTINUOUS" 😂. I have to ask though, I've submitted drafts of the same script with and without CONTINUOUS only to be told to remove it or put it back in. All a matter of the reader's preference? Been knocked down a few points for this particular detail.
Depends on the region. Some areas, ground floor and first floor are the same and can be used interchangeable, in other areas, ground floor is the one on the ground while the first floor is the second level. It's very much regional. Also, there are ABSOLUTELY 3 and even 4 storey barns. Having a ground/first floor, first/second floor, and third/loft level are extremely common in my area which has a lot of Mennonite and Amish. Some will even go so far as to have the 3rd and 4th/loft areas for hay, and ground/first, and first/second for livestock. Yes, you can absolutely have livestock on a raised barn level. Just depends on the area.
Thank you so much for bringing this up. I cannot tell you how many times I have turned off a show that uses gratuitous profanity. Often the writers put words into characters' mouths that sound so unreal I can only roll my eyes. For example, how many women in real life talk about their privates publicly and loudly? None I've ever met. Yet so often a female protagonist has a line that is so grossly obscene that in real life only a sex worker would use it. To me, a carefully placed expletive can work if the situation warrants its uterance. I think using overt profanity instead of clever dialogue is lazy writing.

Their classification of "unique", is different from the viewer. Theirs is about the script and yours is about the movie. Unfortunately that's two different things. The writers seem better than the directors and it's only good if a great writer is the director. Quinton Tarantino.
