Avoid a Screenwriting Trap: Tell a Story Instead of Explaining Your Movie
3 years ago
There's a lot of points that i don't agree with you, especially the scene from the screenplay, i think that the first version of the scene was more interesting and more close to a cinematic screenplay than the second version that was more literary with a lot of unnecessary details
I don't agree, there's a huge difference between cinema and tv, the experience of going to the theatre is much more unique, more rewarding and more magical and transcendental than seeing a movie or a series in a television, one of the big difference is that cinema is more free in term of creation than tv, i don't speak about hollywood, there's no great difference between cinema and tv in hollywood, they have the same story structures and the same visual aesthetics and approaches, i'm talking about art-house movies, where we see pure cinematic movies, that use the real language of cinema, an audiovisual storytelling, where the frame and sound tell the story, the opposite of what they do in hollywood, which is a filming a screenplay, a literary story or a theatrical story, that they put in the medium of cinema, the difference is huge between the 2 approaches, and yes i prefer by far to go to the theatre to watch a movie
