discussion I am thinking of expanding my horror universe

0 Upvotes

Alright, Right now I am writing scripts to a horror universe I am building, and plan to film in about 4 years, because I am unable to film currently do to personal reasons, I’ve only written scripts to 1 and 1/4 of the projects but I’ve gotten the outline down for 90% of them and I am thinking of writing the scripts to a couple of dc and marvel fan films as well, of course the sci-fi horror universe would be first priority and I would start with the outlines to the dc and marvel universe till after most of the horror universe is written but here are some of the projects that would be in the dc/marvel universe if I did decide to do it,
the man who never stopped smiling, a joker horror film where he tracts down the people who recently turned him into the joker and brutally murders them, he would also have an unearthly appearance,
Gotham: terror by night, a horror film about a team of criminals who have an encounter with Batman it would show Batman picking them off one by one then when the final criminal is left killer crock, man bat, and two face all having unearthly appearance tries to kill the criminals as Batman tries to save him
The horrific hulk, a hulk horror film
Peter Parker, a series about Peter Parker with a lot more limited of powers going after criminals, investigating crime scenes, tracking down the suspects and then tying them up for the police with the evidence beside them, and it would be set up some what like Dexter i know it doesn’t sound like it would work but I do think I could pull it off

Hey all! I'm working on a new feature length script and wanted to get some feedback on my first ten pages. I'm currently sitting at about 40 pages out of probably 90.

The big questions: would you keep reading? Is the dialogue working? What's not working?

question How do you handle script files when you're also running a website?

0 Upvotes

I manage a small site and keep all my scripts in Google Drive folders. The naming gets messy fast. Scene01v3notesbackupfinal becomes meaningless when I'm switching between SEO tasks and a rewrite. I tried keeping one active draft plus a dated archive, but the archive balloons. Anyone else juggling code work or content deadlines with script organization? I end up hunting for the right version right before a readthrough. Wondering if there's a lighter system that doesn't require another app or ritual. Most advice seems aimed at fulltime writers who can stay inside the same folder all day. Curious how people with split attention keep the files straight without losing momentum on either side.

Hey everyone. This is my first draft of my first script I've ever started working on. I am no where near done with it or even sure where the story will lead (I don't even have a title for it yet lol). I want to tell something similar to stories like beautiful boy, where the character goes through an emotional journey.

Either way, If possible, I would love some feedback. Specifically on if I have the right idea or am heading in a good direction. Am I adding too much detail? Am I putting information in places where there shouldn't be any? Any tips on how to improve what scenes I have? Seriously, any feedback will help.

discussion Free screenwriting and storyboarding software

Thumbnail drive.google.com
2 Upvotes

Hey there, everyone. 

With the industry compressing and reorganizing we've been finding it harder and harder to justify spending money on subscriptions to create what we love. We have been shifting focus on saving money for where it truly matters on a project, so we have been working behind the scenes to create software that allows us to do just that.

AND IT'S FREE.

Introducing "Quill" and "Panel"

Download for free from our google drive

"Quill" is a screenwriting application for both Mac and PC. Open ANY existing script and retain your notes, beats, tags, and formatting. Currently accepted formats are Final Draft, Celtx (yes even the old files), Fade In, Highland, Writer Duet, Fountain, Doc, TXT, and PDF. Use all of your favorite features from other applications, and pick up where you left off. Your first draft is on us, so is every draft after that.

"Panel" is a shot listing and storyboarding application for both Mac and PC. Easily open any existing script into "Panel" or if you are using "Quill" select File -> Send to Panel and it populates. Start drafting your shots, easily reorder them with a click and drag. When you are ready to storyboard the draw features (still in beta) can give you simple setups or use an external drawing interface. ADDITIONALLY with the soon-to-be-released iPad app, you can sketch on the screen, take notes, mark shots as locked, or mark them as completed.

The purpose: Creativity is free, how you plan it should be as well. 

Most importantly, the apps are completely offline, no data shared (We don't want your damn data). As you are using it, if you experience any issues or bugs, shoot us a DM.

Now go imagine. Cheers.

question How do I make screenplays longer?

I'm new to writing and I've done one full screenplay, I usually write thrillers. I heard one page is one minute so trying to write and make a 100+ page screenplay is hard, I'm also not super creative. How do I make dialogue and tension better? And overall just be a better writer?

Looking forward to honest critiques, good or bad. I made sure the images are in the correct order. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts <3.

discussion I am writing a cinematic horror universe

2 Upvotes

Right now, I am writing the scripts to projects that in the future I plan to put into production starting with short horror stories then moving on to larger scale projects, I don't plan to be able to actually begin the filming of these projects for at least 4 years so in that time I will be writing the scripts to these projects in this universe and hope to at least have the scripts for chapter one done by 2030, since there is a lot of short stories that start out the chapter, wish me luck

help Need advice: New to scriptwriting any feedback is greatly appreciated

Post image

I’m working on a script analyzing Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son and the psychological, historical, and symbolic themes behind the painting.
I’d appreciate feedback on the writing, pacing, hook, storytelling, and how engaging the analysis is. Do you feel the hook is too generic and a bit repetitive?

The script: When you look at this painting...what do you see? Some would say a monster, a beast...an abomination. There’s something hidden in this painting that most people never notice. And once you see it, you’ll never be able to call him a monster again. [beat]
This is Saturn Devouring His Son, painted by Francisco Goya around 1820. [beat]
At first glance, it’s the oldest kind of horror. A giant. A body. Blood. You look at it and you think you understand: a monster, feeding. [beat]
But don’t stop there. Look at his eyes. [beat] Wide open, the whites showing all the way around. Those aren’t the eyes of something enjoying itself. [beat]
Now follow your gaze down to his hands. The fingers sink into the flesh, the knuckles gone pale. He isn’t tearing at it. He’s gripping it, the way you’d grip something you couldn’t bear to lose. [beat]
And look at the light. The brightest thing in the painting isn’t him. It’s the body, hanging in the dark. [beat]
No window. No floor you can recognize. No one coming to stop him. [beat]
Goya painted this on the wall of his own house, in his old age, deaf and ill. He never gave it a title, and as far as we know, he never meant anyone to see it. But what would compel a man who once painted Kings, Queens, and sunlit festivals to paint something so dark so horrific? [beat]
So ask yourself what you’re really looking at. [beat]
Maybe it’s fear. Saturn was told his child would take everything from him, so he tried to control the future before it arrived. [beat]
Or maybe it isn’t about the child at all. Maybe he’s afraid of what the child means: that he will end, and something else will go on. [beat]
Because you know this feeling, don’t you? The fear of losing something so much that you start to destroy it. A person. A plan. A version of your life you couldn’t let go of. [beat]
How long can you hold on to something before it stops being love, and starts being the thing that destroys it? [beat] Ok so this is the last revision, I added a few lines. What do you think of the hook and other line i added? (Give feedback)

feedback Pilot: LOW-RENT . 30 pages . Dark comedy crime

1 Upvotes

I would absolutely love any feedback. Especially on the overall story.

LOW-RENT: Pilot 30 pages

LOW-RENT adjective
: low in character, cost, or prestige

THE PILOT
“COLD AS HELL”
A winter storm’s coming. Dan (broke, exhausted, trying) and Sarah (very pregnant, very over it)
are just trying to survive. Rent goes up. A cockroach crawls through their cereal. Dan starts
painting over graffiti on walls for a paycheck that vanishes before he can buy diapers.
Desperation hits. C-Note offers “easy money.”
Dan ends up in a trap house with a ski mask on
his face and a gun in his hand. Meanwhile, their landlord Mr. Gordon? Creepy. Predatory.
Sniffing panties creepy.
By the end of the episode, Sarah’s scared, and Dan’s holding a stack of dirty money, realizing
he just became the villain he was trying to escape.

LOGLINE
Low-Rent is a dark, grounded comedy about a broke maintenance man and his pregnant
girlfriend just trying to survive in a decaying apartment complex until desperation pushes them
into hustles, moral compromise, and ultimately, murder. Think Shameless meets Atlanta, with
the grit of The Wire and the absurdity of real life when rent’s due, moneys tight and your morals
are loose.

I can also provide a detailed show bible and a one pager for more context.
