I have to teach film to high schoolers from this August. This is coming RIGHT IN TIME! ❤❤❤

[GNGTCG]

Best channel ever to born in 2009 = Film riot. Thank you Ryan

[JakeAdkinsOfficial]

Just want to say, as someone who's been around since your first videos, its awesome to see the incredible way you guys have built this channel that has probably helped more people than you will ever know find their footing in the industry and the art of film!

[manicj]

So happy that you're putting a lot of effort into screenwriting 🙌🙌 Honestly, it's the backbone to making a good movie; great directing, acting, and cinematography doesn't matter if the script isn't good.

[KeithBridges]

Love your channel can't wait to work with yall someday!

[DethronerX]

The second part of the video is even more important. Its when we follow the ideas and how they want to be, not considering the audience, it becomes a very true and honest story and how it should be in that world

Can’t wait for the ‘ this could be an entire episode by itself” episodes

Best advice I ever received about scriptwriting is "Don't Direct On Paper."

_EXT. GARY'S HOUSE - DAY_

_With a satisfying SPLOOSH, Gary dumps the rest of the bucket of sudsy water on his Red 1968 Mustang and WHISTLES "ZIPPTY DO DAH" as he cleans his car, oblivious to the happy little blue bird perched on a wire high above the windscreen_

You can visualize this scene in many different ways. You probably already have a Wide Shot in mind, maybe a Dolly Zoom Out to reveal the bird. Let the Directors figure out what to do. Your job, as a writer, is to give the reader brain food. How many jokes can you find in my scene?

I've been doig this for about three years now, but it's always great to keep going over the basics.

Brightens my day when you guys upload!

[TommyRosati]

Great episode!
The best screenwriting learning experience I've had was taking Aaron Sorkin's screenwriting MasterClass. His class alone was worth the MasterClass superscription price. The guy is literally one of the most gifted & talented writers of our time.

[larrysnyder]

Super helpful. Just getting started. Thank you!

[-Himax]

Wow 😳😳
This is exactly the kind of tutorial I've been expecting from this channel thanks for the video 🤝🏾🤝🏾

[ratemyactors]

Really informative video! As a aspiring screenwriter, I found the tips and examples provided super helpful in understanding the basics of scriptwriting. Can't wait to put them into practice and see the difference for myself. Plus, the mention of Musicbed has piqued my interest, will definitely be checking it out! Thanks for sharing!

[tiltedroom]

Awesome episode once again! 🤜Would love to hear more about your writing journey related to your individual films. 🙏

[indiestudio]

You made my day 😀 thankyou so much for this video sir ❤

[NightFogFilms]

Thanks. I am NOT a writer but I have about 5 horror short story ideas in my head. I will try out my ideas using this structure. I've done 4 on my channel but I had to do them off the cuff and it was not easy putting together that way. My latest MOTION ACTIVATED was not even put on paper. All off the dome. It was unorganized and very hard to edit in post but I don't think I did too bad despite unknowingly how to structure my ideas. Once again thank you for you educational videos.

[hardwiretoo]

I've written a lot of crap and co-written a lot of other crap. None of which will ever see the light of day. But screen writing has always interested me because of the formatting. The formatting seemingly is intended to keep you from getting too full of your own bull💩. If typical writing is painting with words then screenwriting is a blueprint. At least that how I've always felt. Good one I learned some good stuff.

[JohnBradford]

The best part about log-lines is imagining it on screen as a description for your movie.

Wiat a minute, looks like this was made for me...never seen a film riot video that meets my need that was posted 20 mins ago
