Scriptnotes goes back to basics

Today’s episode of Scriptnotes talked about going back to basics to talk about what screenwriting actually is. I think this is a good idea because I’m sure most people, including myself, have no idea how screenwriting works. They also spent some time talking about the current happenings in their lives. This is a good way to balance things out. They state that there is a difference between a movie script and a stage script. On a stage the scenes are pretty minimal, while in film they tend to have more production values. They say that the fundamental thing that you have to come back to is a scene. I agree with that statement because in film scenes are life in this situation. Not just whats going on in a scene but also what the idea for a scene is. Both of the hosts also discuss that part of a scene. They also say the grammar in a script is sometimes analyzed by a grammer analyst. I guess that is someone who reads the script to make sure it is comprehensive and coherent. They also state that a script needs to have transitions and breaks such as INT or EXIT. I agree that this is an important part to know what comes next.
