Development

I want to thank you guys for the feedback. It has helped a lot and there has been progress made in the script. The characters just started to develop by themselves and everything has started to come together. There is some work left to be done, but the overall story is there.

I now see that the problem is that I will make a short movie. Being that it will be short, it's kind of hard to try to make a script for it because it feel like I'm just bunching scenes up. It's going to be a challenge to film a good short movie that has some actual meaning and that it doesn't look like I tried to fit every aspect I want into it.

But it's good that I became aware of the problem because now it's easier to look for solutions. And the feedback I've been receiving has helped me notice when I fall into overcrowding a scene and such.

Script Script Script!

What I don't understand is why I can't get the script down. The story is there, but I can't seem to make my characters real. The dialogue is a tricky thing to do. I feel pressure to make these characters perfect so I'm having a hard time deciding the little details of my story. I'm a person who notices small details which is why I can't get the characters just right. It's like there's an element missing in them. Right now I am trying to figure out the lives of these characters. In other news, I have been using a program called Celtx, which helps me a lot in my attempted script writing. Anyone who wants to write a script, make a storyboard, or something of the sort should check this program out.
