EURO: Guest Neal Romanek @rabbitandcrow
USA: Guest The Bitter Script Reader @BittrScrptReadr
Neal Romanek guested on
the EURO time slot discussing the eight-sequence structure. Tons of craft
advice was flying in Twitterverse. Later on USA, we had The Bitter Script Reader sharing his advice and experience as a
professional script reader. Amazing insights were offered on both chats, so

@rabbitandcrow: It can be really tricky to think in terms of
sequences, especially if you've been drilled into thinking always in 3 Acts.
#scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:04 pm
@rabbitandcrow: For me - and I'm going to try to stick to my
experience here, rather than theorizing - I use it pretty early on. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:05 pm
@rabbitandcrow: I know I'll want to have certain scenes,
certain moments, certain set pieces. And early on I'll start sketching out
sequences. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:05 pm
@rabbitandcrow: Now it's important to know what a sequence
is. And I think that can trip people up. What exactly is it? #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:06 pm
@rabbitandcrow: Isn't a sequence just a bunch of scenes?
Well, no. It's got its own biology, it's own internal workings. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:06 pm
@rabbitandcrow: Frank Daniel (blessed be his name) at USC
taught that there were inevitably 8 sequences in a film. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:07 pm
@teenierussell: @rabbitandcrow I like the mini-movie
analogy, the idea of making 8mini movies that stich together #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:08 pm
@rabbitandcrow: And this 8 sequence structure model has been
spread far and wide and it really does hold remarkably true. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:08 pm
@rabbitandcrow: Yes. The "Mini Movie Method" is
what Chris Soth calls it. Chris went to USC too and studied under Frank Daniel.

work? #scriptchat

@HateTheHate: #scriptchat 8 sequence makes me think of
sketches in comedy shows. Do they need "punchlines"?
March 11, 2012, 8:17 pm
@rabbitandcrow: . @teenierussell Absolutely a sequence
should work separated from the film. That's how you can identify that it is a
sequence. #scriptchat
March 11, 2012, 8:17 pm

YEARN to see the sequences on either side of it. #scriptchat

bring about the beginning of the next sequence. Even the final sequence.

about because films generally used to be composed of 8 reels. #scriptchat

@FieldTripLog: Hey @grantfaulkner, we're wondering what
#scriptchat folks think writers do wrong when it comes to science in
screenplays! Any ideas?
March 12, 2012, 12:55 am
@zacsanford2: @BittrScrptReadr As a final question from me:
If you had one piece of advice to give to aspiring writers it would be?

@AllMightyGoold: @BittrScrptReadr thinking of creating a
tumblr where I post my own script treatments/synopsis...cool idea or bad idea??
#scriptchat

@GCGeek: @BittrScrptReadr @Jamie_LD I really like that
simple statement: "An idea isn't a story." #scriptchat

@SarahAlexis4: @BittrScrptReadr If there were 3 things you
could ban from all future scripts what would they be? (content, style, etc)

language? #scriptchat

@zacsanford2: @kimnunley I still see FADE IN and FADE OUT on
about half the scripts I read from pro level writers. #scriptchat

talk about this. Google "Should my script have it's own website" and
my name. #scriptchat
March 12, 2012, 12:57 am
@Jamie_LD: @GCGeek Even a well fleshed out idea isn't a
story. I hate when that happens. #scriptchat

@writingnewman: the theme of the screenplay has to be
present in every scene, every character. #scriptchat

@IngridElkner: The 'kill a pet' thing is way overdone in
horror/thrillers. Makes me question the primal leanings of the writer.
