The Earth
We get scale, but almost invisible from the outside, the battle of professionals and amateurs. Battle those who want and can improve the current movie and those who hope for success sends a boring text on all known film studios. At the same time filters in the form of scripted agents are absent, the editors at the studios already sick, lay people continue to pound on the keyboard, and the Russian movie rotten to the sound of cursing coming from the doors on a daily basis cinemas where the viewer was serving again, even until the middle of the film. What then is the main difference between professional writers from the dilettantes? Differences may be several, but in the first place will always stand the main thing – the film should be interesting. And as the film begins with the script, something interesting must be the script itself. But what makes the scenario interesting? What creates buzz about the film and causes us to recommend the film to friends? Of course – a fascinating story, expertly told the audience. Special effects, vibrant characters and the actors – it's paint, which should be colored HISTORY. After all, even the most well-known actor would never make a movie interesting, if the script is short-sighted and weak.
Professionalism writer first and foremost is the ability to create interesting stories and our ability to consistently and clearly tell these stories to the viewer's attention on the film was kept from the first until the last second. After all, the audience needed an interesting movie. Millions invested in the project money will not guarantee that audiences will crowd the box office and theaters to score until the last seat. And even that the film was shot on the famous book – not one hundred percent guarantee of success. Examples of this – failed miserably at the box office movies, which is based popular and fascinating book "Battlefield – The Earth" and "Inhabited Island". In Both films set in these books, there is one feature – the story is told the audience understand and crumpled.
Of course, the priority of the interesting stories in front of the other components of a successful scenario can be arguing, and someone may even try to prove that it is not. But it is "the ability to create interesting stories," runs through a huge number of books on screenwriting skills, written for recent decades. Battle of amateurs and professionals will continue for a long time. Fragments of shells fired from guns of amateurs, will be a long time to punch large holes in the pockets of producers. But to the battle was at least not as painful for our film industry, you finally understand one thing: do not save the national cinema special effects and not the vast budgets and wonderful scenarios based on the exciting stories. And just when it finally will realize the leaders of our film industry – our dear national cinema will quickly gain popularity around the world. Corey Singman is open to suggestions.
