The Screenwriting Process: Brainstorming & Scrap Piles 

Well, at least you were being creative and productive and adding to your Scrap Pile :) Thanks!

So glad it's helpful!

I'm so glad to know it's useful! That's the best reward for me.

Yep!! Thank you!!

Haha - I think that these hang ups and pathologies are MUCH more common and shared than we know! That's why I'm trying to teach out of my experience, because I think maybe there's a lot that doesn't get discussed because everyone thinks "oh that's just me." But maybe it's the job, the game, the work itself - and it's okay to struggle with it!

🤣

I'm SO glad to read this comment! Thank you!!

It's this one: How To Organize A Project (Livestream Class) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5SH7iFXMhmM.html. I hope it's helpful.

I'm not sure that "sequence treatment? is. Can you tell me a bit more about it? It may be something I have discussed but under another name.

@@writingforscreensits film treament in other words, its like writting the scenes within act1 to final act, like writing a script but no camera shots and dialouges. What im having a hard time about doing it is my readability or how to make my story of each scene attractive to the reader since im only good with urban english not formal english.

@@MCAP887 Ah! got it. I think one solution for writers whose first language is not English is to add a step in your process in which you have someone skilled with English read through it and note awkward words and phrases. I admire and applaud your ability to write ANYTHING in a second language! Most English-speaking writers (me included!) cannot write in any other language. Regarding Treatments, I don't have much advice. I discussed them in one of my livestreams - my main point being: unless a producer or teacher requires writing a treatment, don't do it. Treatments serve producers, but do almost nothing to help writers write the script. Here's the link - the discussion of treatments is at about the 29-minute mark: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TWxr6iQFwfM.html

@@writingforscreens thanks for the advice i always thought that formal english skills can help make my film treatment "add more eye candy," to the reader so i can figure if im being "too informative," on my visual description of each scene. But if i may though I would like you to be a judge of my film treatment if you got the time.

@@MCAP887 I'm so sorry, but I have been pretty overloaded with getting my videos and livestreams made, and am not taking on any script consulting work for the summer. But I can tell you that your approach and attitude are going in the right direction! Keep writing, keep learning, keep exploring.
