He is some of the advice I was given by Simon during our recent Tutorial in which he gave some advice on how to develop my Scripts for Episodes 1-3.
- Writing only what we can see onscreen
- (Don’t describe when you could write in the script!)
- Show don’t tell
- don’t have characters talk to themselves
- Show his job
- Invest in details about the characters life
- Simplify your concepts
- Show his paranoia, makes it more believable
- Maybe change his motives in Episode 2 about his job
- Don’t just say he’s paranoid, show how his behaviour.
- Don’t force the story through dialogue. - Episode 3
- Show his character
- Distinguish these characters
I thought the tutorial went well for the most part, and I got a lot of very useful tips. Using this information, I am certain that I can improve on the layouts of my scripts
One thing I feel that I need to take from these tutorials is to not get myself down about mistakes I have made. Sometimes getting constructive criticism on a project can bruise my ego, especially if there are differences of opinion on how something should play out. But i've realised that that is often the best way you can learn from your mistakes as a screenwriter.
