i don’t think anyone fully understands how iconic of a film the princess diaries truly is. everything in that film is iconic. the apartment/firehouse. the scooters as a method of transportation. “get off the grass” in 4 languages. “please don’t crush my soy nuts.” the mustang. the weird neighbor who writes poetry. the m&ms on the keyboard and the pizza. “it’s a wango?” lily’s otter backpack. the whole paolo makeover sequence. every foot pop. stop me i could go on forever the princess diaries is so iconic it’s on the same level of iconography as star wars (1977)

If you think about film in the bare sense it is nothing but space and light. It is the placement of people inside these two illusions, space and light. You have to think about the freedom to move people through space and light in ways that make a statement about who they are out of the raw material of film, not first out of language. Language is to some degree, not that it’s secondary, but that it has to come out of a respect for the geography of cinema, which is these two dynamics. So language shouldn’t be the starting tool for developing characters. Language should finally just happen.

Development of an Idea

screenwritersguidebook

idea: time loop murder mystery/thriller

concept: A woman experiences the same hour repeatedly in which she witnesses her best friend’s death.

logline: A shy woman must solve her best friend’s murder in order to escape the time-loop she’s stuck in, but the killer only seems to get more and more cryptic.

Synopsis:

GRETCHEN, a shy woman, witnesses her friend WENDELL’S murder while waiting for her to come outside, but then she gets trapped in a time loop of the last hour of Wendell’s life. After many failed attempts to save Wendell, Gretchen decides to unmask the murderer and get justice.

She discovers [insert important plot details]…

…Finally after gathering all the information and finding the knife, Gretchen unmasks the killer, but the truth is even more terrible than she could have ever imagined.

Try developing your own stories from a simple idea. You’ll be surprised what you come up with. Everyone develops stories differently, but I’ve found that if you start small and build your way up, it becomes a lot easier to go back and fix any problems in the story later on. It’s also really good to get in the habit of writing loglines and synopses early on.

How do you develop your ideas into full stories?

There are certain places where I feel at home. Perhaps “feel at home” is not the right way to put it; better to say there are certain places where I feel at home with myself. By which I mean, external landscapes that accord with my own inner landscape. I come to a place, and it feels as if I have been there a hundred times before. Everything fits: the proportions, the colors, the distances, the clear sky above, the light. I come to a place where I find I am breathing, that I can breathe, that I am in harmony with my surroundings. I can’t explain it any other way. It’s not something I have experienced often in my life. I am not usually in harmony with my surroundings. In fact, I detest my surroundings, and my surroundings detest me.

Anonymous asked:

Whats the difference between female and woman?

closet-keys answered:

“Female” is an adjective. “Woman” is a noun. 

Referring to a person as “A Female” or a group of people as “Females” is objectifying, because it reduces them to that singular characteristic. It’s kind of a subtle thing, esp. if you’re learning English as a second language. 

It functions linguistically in a very similar way to other identifying adjectives such as “black” or “trans” or “gay.”  

It’s totally fine to say “a black person” or “black people” but saying “a black” or “some blacks” sounds inherently racist, because you stop describing people’s race and start defining them as nothing more than their race. 

It’s totally fine to say “a transgender person” or “transgender people” but “a transgender” or “some transgenders” sounds inherently transphobic. 

Same with “a gay person”/“gay people” vs “a gay”/“some gays” 

In addition to that, “females” as a noun is also primarily used by MRAs (”Male Rights Activists” who are misogynist) and TERFs (”Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists” who are transmisogynist). 

So basically, for many English-speaking women, using “female” as a noun is a quick way to make us very nervous about how you perceive women.
