7:07 pm TaroJ @HateTheHate you can register your scripts with

2012-06-24
7:20 pm TaroJ @ClaireYeowart once you get past the first page
they say which
genres
require a production company attached, fingers crossed #
scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:20 pm HateTheHate @TaroJ That's the trouble ... no one wants
to see "their" film come
out with
another writers name on it. #scriptchat #writingPARTNERS
2012-06-24
7:21 pm Bang2write @BluestormPics sometimes concepts change *as* we
write. Decide:
is this
now the right destination or is it goin out of control? #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:21 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate I think what @TaroJ said. In
the UK you own what
you
write/ create so no official copyright... #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:21 pm jannagummo RT @scriptsense: RT @GoIntoTheStory Think
concepts. Read
scripts.
Watch movies. Write pages. #screenwriting #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:22 pm TaroJ @HateTheHate I think if it looks like it could be
an issue, it might not
be the
best person to be writing with. #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:22 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate in the US there's the WGA, so if
sending a script to
the US
it's an idea to register it. Working with partners... #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:22 pm ClaireYeowart @TaroJ they haven't updated their info.. I
got read last year by them
they are
lovely but they changed policy, got email to say #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:23 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs yes there are big similarities and
big changes ... Can
recommend
Aristotle's Poetics for Screenwriters on Amazon #
scriptchat
2012-06-24

and
mostly trust each other then it can be tough. #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:23 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs my personal fave is Writing Drama by
Yves Lavandier
- good
contrast of stage and screen and what "makes" good drama #
scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:24 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat cont.
also longer speeches and more
monologues.
Interesting subject for me to study...:)
2012-06-24
7:24 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write thankyou I'll check out the links
you've sent. I'm
enjoying
writing for other mediums too right now (radio, stage) #
scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:25 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate best approach might be to have a
written agreement,
or
e-mail to prove that this work started as a partnership #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:25 pm Bang2write @BluestormPics sometimes you just have to get it
down and then reel
it in
via the rewrites. No writing ever wasted! #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:26 pm teenierussell Agreed RT: @TaroJ @HateTheHate I think
if it looks like it could be
an
issue, it might not be the best person to be writing with #

2012-06-24

(it
could be used as evidence though)? #scriptchat #copyright

2012-06-24
7:34 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat yes good
point. If the character is complex
and they
have contradictory unconscious goals...quite rough to do
2012-06-24
7:36 pm HateTheHate @teenierussell That's the stuff! I think I need a
writing partner but I
think
I/we should be protected. :) #scriptchat
2012-06-24
7:36 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs #scriptchat I

motivation
