@ProfMatt_Film20 The first two tips stood out to me. Tip 1 is such a truthful statement because it takes time and dedication to make it in the industry. I was surprised at Tip 2 because I didn't know screenwriters need to be in LA in order to produce their screenplay. #F21_4192
@ProfMatt_Film20 All the advice given is great, but Tip 3 stood out for me. We tend to write based on what is marketable and that derail us from writing something we are truly passionate about. If we write more of what we are passionate about, that will fuel us to keep writing. #F21_4192
@ProfMatt_Film20 I was extremely saddened by the recent news of Singleton's passing. I think he was a blunt and honest voice in the industry that will be greatly missed. He is absolutely right-- there needs to be more people of color writing, producing, and directing their own stories. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Wow, Singleton was so inspiring! I found it interesting he said the ability to tell a story orally is most important. That statement changed my perception about storying telling, but hes right words have power and should be use impeccably. His work will live on forever! #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Before reading this article I didn’t know how different the pitching/treatment process for T.V. vs. Movies are and it interesting to see how many different elements have to be explained in “The Bible” in order for a network to even consider them. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Creating conflict that is complex isn’t that simple. I liked how they illustrated it as parallel lines intersecting. I think that’s a good way of checking whether the conflict in a story is strong or not. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 It’s so refreshing to see Abigail not being afraid to address the elephant in the room in Disney’s way of distributing pay wages. Disney park workers are a huge aspect to their revenue and should be compensated fairly for their efforts. Kudos to Abigail. #f20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 These tips have really helped me, it just goes back to the core of “show, don’t tell”. When I write, I try to go so specific, not showing the core of the characters/ goal/conflict. It’s insane how the tiniest things can affect a story. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Often I think we fan be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to presenting our material. I think this is a great example of out of the box tactics that can work to our advantage #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 This was really interesting to read about a show bible and how it can help not only in guiding new writers about characters on a show, but in pitching the show itself. I think it’s really cool to see how specific the creators of Strangers Things were visually. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 I think its interesting to see that much of the negative attitude towards netflix and how they release content comes from those involved in the film industry and less of those who are strictly consumers. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 I have always admired a good villain. Now I have a blueprint to create my own, reading this article makes you wonder about villains in your everyday life, and how you can transfer them to the silver screen. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Companies like Netflix and Amazon have proven time and again to being big competitors in the film industry. Some seem to fail to see the wonderful opportunities that these companies offer to filmmakers who want to showcase their films. Seeing this new venture will be interesting.
@ProfMatt_Film20 It shows a lot of skill and humility to be willing to go back and redo everything that you have done. Not a lot of people are capable of that, it definitely worked out in this case. It can be tough gutting your own projects but often it works for the better. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 Wow, writers are being screwed like crazy. This situation is similar to what's going on in other areas of business around the world. Rich and powerful companies bend the rules in order to maximize profits. Hopefully, this doesn't get swept under the rug. #F20_2356
@ProfMatt_Film20 My first credit! Thank you!!!
Wow. Thank you fellow screenwriting classmates, your feedback and encouragement throughout the semester made me a better writer. Also, thank you to @MoniqueMatthews for being an incredible teacher.
