We appreciate it. Thank you! It does take a good amount of work to put these together. Some of these interviews go back 10 years, haha. Hope we can help storytellers tell better stories. Cheers!
Absolutely. I have been writing since I was seven. I decided it was time to get into movies and wrote a 142 page tretise on "How to Write the Crappiest Script Ever". I was cruising through RU-vid and FC rolled past. A bunch of lessons, six or eight months, and a ton of blood-letting later, I have a script that is 108 pages, more focused, and with more punch that I am willing to show someone. I still have no plans on trying to sell it, but thanks to FC I'm not embarrased to talk about it.
@@thecollective1584 A book in film school for screenwriting shorts is "Writing short Films" by Linda J. Cowgill. That tends to be what they give for new writers. It doesn't cost much either.
This is litteral the best video on RU-vid about advice on dialogue. It's helped me so much. I didn't know half of this stuff before I watched it . Thank you Film Courage 👍😁. The other videos on RU-vid about it act like you nearly already know how to do dialogue and your watching it for a few little tips. It's so annoying. Thanks for going indepth on it and then doing a bit of a overview at the end. Thanks for giving everything you need to know in just the right amount of detail.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you saying that you didn't know half this stuff. It takes a lot to say that. Our aim is to provide as much value as we can. Can't say this one covers it all as there's always more to learn. Our best to you and your work!
There are main tips for writing dialogue as I read first should make sound , nature sound like real but polished conversation. Show don’t tell . Use subtext . Use dialogue tags sparingly. Use dialect and accent carefully. Embrace slience avoid exposition very sentences and structures and length. Use contractions . Stay true to characters. Keep it real .
Really enjoyed this video! The tips on adding subtext to dialogue and using sensory details to bring scenes to life were particularly helpful. Great inspiration for my own writing projects. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Might be best to find someone who has experience with budgets. In regards to budgeting, here are some things to consider - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--8SXQZT0278.html and this one you may find helpful as well - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHUcG8qi6IY.html
English isn't my native language, I'll to be clear. In "Yellowstone" there's a scene that I think it's brilliant. It's a scene that explains how not to write dialogues on the nose. The character Lloyd, an old man, is taking Jimmy to a competition about riding a wild horse. In a few scenes before, Lloyd had said to Jimmy : "You have talent for it" and Lloyd smiled sympathetic. Jimmy won the competition and receive as an award a Belt buckle. Lloyd amazed and emotional watched the belt buckle, gave a hug with affection to Jimmy and kept watching emotional the belt buckle
What's being said is everything the characters don't say. The dialogue is basically everything EXCEPT what the characters want to say. Unless they're drunk.
I find listening to screen writers discussing "story" disturbing. To a person, they creep me out. As a doctoral student in a clinical psychology program, I found my professor and his assistant for my human sexuality class were really creepy in the way they looked at us. I have observed the same thing in other individuals. Back to the screen writers. The arrogance and air of superiority is disgusting. Their profession is about jerking peoples emotions around. We are real human beings, not some object to be manupulated.
Sorry but I don’t think the cigarette thing would pass a double blind test, man…. “Filters? None.” Oh wait Tarantino wrote it, so now it’s genius!!!! Sorry I have no filters on this comment. None.
Yeah, not the best example. And even if it is, he doesn't explain it well enough. The scene is good because of the acting and directing; the writing is secondary.
Lots of programs and films could do with following these. Over the years there has been plenty of wooden, stilted, bland, cheesy and generally poor dialogue but recently they have added loads of cringey dialogue as well, I wish they would stop!
