Description UPDATE:// A DD!! I'd like to thank you all sincerely for embracing my inner asshole and I hope it serves you well. I may not be able to get back to everyone who faves it, but seriously, BIG HUG.



Full Title: Back-To-Basics Screenwriting With Snappy (Or, Why The Biz Might Not Be For You)

Written because the Deviantart Scripts & Screenplays section makes me want to put my head through a wall. Repeatedly.

Hope this helps you, minions. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know.

Ironically, I wasn't going to upload a PDF to facilitate viewing, but then I remembered DA's upload system sucks and I didn't want to reformat the dialogue, so, you get a PDF anyway.

For anyone who's actually interested in film school, I highly recommend the Vancouver Film School's Writing for Film & Television program. All my props come from there.

Ps. Please let me know about any typos; I admit I uploaded this hastily and PDFs are annoying to change.

Okay I'm no screenwriter. But this could come in handy when I'm writing the script for a comic (for myself mostly; kinda just do what makes sense to me). Might as well learn anyway. Thanks for the info!!

We had a Comics class and we learnt the specific format for that as well. I forget what it is off the top of my head, but I could probably find it for you if you need it.

Really? I can't imagine it's too different (I hope). If you have the time/want to, I'd love some link or whatever you've got. Thanks!!

Well you have to describe every frame and dialogue bubble and things. I think it's all left-aligned and there's a lot of underlineage to occur.

Then I think I'm doing good. My format's pretty close. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll look into it!

I have no intention of ever writing a screenplay, and I still found this endlessly entertaining. Moar essays, plz.

Haha, I'll make note of that. I'm never as confident in my non-fiction as I am with my fiction. It feels... naked somehow.

Thanks much though! Glad you enjoyed it.
