7:40 pm ellardent @sambaintv No.I think I ended up a film student
because I could
separate
the bits of my brain that do the job from the fun ones. #

7:40 pm ellardent @sambaintv For example, I enjoyed The Artist

lot. But objectively, neither has a third act. #scriptchat

7:41 pm ScriptCoach @ellardent As fulltime script ed, can confirm
it's a difficult balance.
Much
creative energy goes into editing, not own writing. #scriptchat

7:42 pm ellardent @ADawsonBros Miranda! #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:42 pm Sonic_Screwup @ellardent just my op but I think personal,
external input from an
editor
(as your approach) is always going to be beneficial. #
scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:43 pm ellardent @ScriptCoach It's not so much energy with me as
money and time. I
can edit
and pay the bills, or spec write and...not. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:43 pm benbutterworth @ellardent Can you think of any examples of
great scripts made bad
during
production? And why? #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:43 pm ellardent @ScriptCoach I do find editing a reactive art - I
can't not have an
opinion
when I read - as opposed to facing that blank page. #

7:43 pm Sonic_Screwup @simonjaystwit many have as well! That’s why they
call him Joss

Whedon. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:43 pm ScriptCoach @ellardent Same also goes for time, obv.
Doesn't mean I stop trying.
;) But
wouldn't mind better balance & more time to self. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:43 pm teenierussell @ellardent so when you watch movies, do you try
not to watch them

7:45 pm ellardent @benbutterworth Red Dwarf X! Ep six is knockout, but
was written
mid-production
with writer/director still shooting. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:46 pm ellardent @teenierussell I...don't try. Is that weird? I just
kinda...naturally
compartmentalise.
#scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:46 pm ScriptCoach @ellardent It's tough to shut off the opinions,
to sit and read script in

7:47 pm ComedyBurble @ellardent Ah, good choice! #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:48 pm ellardent @EddieRobson Sitcoms don't have first acts. They
have 'recap world'
then get
on with act two, incident and action... #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:48 pm Sonic_Screwup @EddieRobson @ellardent I find
it helpful. Out of all the crass ‘theory’
terms,
the acts are ones I actually actively employ. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:48 pm ScriptCoach @Sonic_Screwup I never approach film scripts
differently from tv
scripts.
It's about the best way to tell a story in its medium. #
scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:48 pm ellardent @EddieRobson ...but if things should reach a
point of escalation, a
nadir,

than something new and original? #scriptchat :-)
2012-07-01
7:56 pm EddieRobson @ellardent Thanks, it might be useful to use
those points of
escalation
and nadir. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:56 pm ellardent @teenierussell Also, some shows will - if you're
new - ask you to trial
a few
scenes to prove you've got the voice. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
7:56 pm Sonic_Screwup @ellardent @teenierussell personally
delighted by this. Feels like
glorified
Fanfiction when speccing current shows. #scriptchat
2012-07-01
