Pretty self-explanatory really! My 'film' opens with a montage scene, of all the characters waking up in the morning; what is the best way to write this? I have been using the CeltX software I downloaded from here (its quite good, but a bit tricky to get used to!), and have been writing each cut as a new scene, but I don't know if that is the correct form; any ideas?! Thanks!
not necessary to have each shot as a scene, if it's very brief... can be 'series of shots' or a 'montage'... what you want is really more the former, than the latter... do you have trottier's 'bible'?... or any other good how-to on screenwriting?... don't you study good scripts, to see how such things are written?... anyway, here's how a series of shots can be done: more details may be needed, but you can see how it's done from this, at least... hope it helps... email me for a good format guide if you need one and tips from pros, plus a 'tools of the trade' list that you seem to need badly... love and hugs, maia maia3maia@hotmail.com
Hehe, I guess I underestimated how different a screenplay is from a stage play script! But thanks for the tips
quite different, though having much the same e1ements-- and a screenp1ay is much more standardized than scripts for the stage, where the p1aywright has a 1ot more 1eeway in format-- i'm just a mouse c1ick away if you want any further info on either-- hugs, m maia3maia@hotmailcom
