Hey - love to know which ones you find questionable! We're always trying to provide the best content.
Great question! Think about what your characters likes doing and what they hate doing - I love the opening of the movie Hot Tub Time Machine. It breaks down who those guys are and how bad their lives can be? Their one respite? Hanging together. What are some of your favorite films? How do they put characters in situations that highlight their personalities? Chasing Amy shows us two comic nerds, in their element. One inker has a Napoleon complex, and the artist gets love, but is not IN love. Again, build your scenes around how to bring tension from all that stuff.
How's the writing going?
Kareem,
I would start over, but in the outline form. Take the ideas you used for each episode and see where they fit in our story map.
Once that's done, fill in the blanks for the rest fo the treatment.
Suddenly, youve turned those episodes into a feature film map.
Now get writing!
Thanks for your thoughts - we'll certainly keep them in mind, though sponsored content is what keeps the lights on at times. As always, we suggest that you do your due diligence before buying any cameras, and we hope you stick around for our other articles on Screenwriting and Directing as well.
