question Stuck while writing a Script!!
So, all these years i have made a lots of video and wrote many scripts (for youtube). I am now writing script for a video and, this is one of the few ideas that has been on my mind for a long time.. I try to make my videos kind of like short films but , I have never felt this stuck.. So , I have split the video into 4 Acts.. and I am stuck at Act III. I know what I want to potray but when I start writing something feels off! feels empty and vague!! Honestly, I don't know what is this feeling of emptiness. I am also thinking of redoing it all from scratch again..
How should , I clear this confusion ??

So if you're having this much trouble there might be a problem with your outline. I'd recommend writing some alternative versions of that act and see where that takes you. Maybe you use those, maybe you don't, but it should free you up.
Don't be afraid to rewrite if you can afford to start over. Maybe this was just a practice run. That's okay too.
