TV series and movies are shot according to scripts, but the application range of scripts is very wide, including: drama scripts, movie scripts, TV drama scripts, novel scripts, cross talk, sketches, etc. The subject matter of scripts is also wide, including comedy, tragedy, historical drama
, family ethics dramas, thriller dramas, etc., are also the most commonly used ones.
The script mainly consists of lines and shooting instructions. Dialogues, monologues, and narrations are all in the spoken form. In operas and operas, they are often expressed in lyrics. The instructions in the script are narrative instructions written in the tone of the screenwriter, including
The time when the plot takes place, the description of the location, and the image of the characters in the play
Characteristics, descriptions of physical movements and inner activities, descriptions of scenes and atmosphere, and requirements for scenery, lighting, sound effects, etc. The structure can generally be divided into "beginning, development, turning, climax/climax, and then climax"
/Tide Ending". Of course, the structure will change depending on the screenwriting skills.
Many new screenwriters who write a script for the first time easily turn the script into a novel. Script writing and novel writing are two completely different things. You must know that the purpose of writing a script is to use words to express a series of pictures, so let it be
People who read scripts can immediately think of a picture when they see the text, bringing people into the world of the picture. Novels are different. In addition to writing pictures, they also include lyrical sentences, rhetorical techniques and descriptions of the characters' inner worlds.
These should not be in the script.
There should not be too many dialogues in the script (unless it is required by the plot), otherwise the whole story will become incoherent, lacking action and emotional expression, and the audience will seem to be listening to and reading the script, one word - boring. You know
What we need to write now is the language of TV series or movies, not the language of literature. A script that is only suitable for reading but not for watching is not a good script. Therefore, for an excellent movie or TV series script, the fewer dialogues, the stronger the sense of the picture.
, the greater the impact.
Many screenwriters who are writing scripts for the first time, in order to add more plot to the story, will add too many details into the script. There are many characters in the details, interspersed with many scenes, which complicates the story and the audience may not be able to read it.
I understand, but I don’t know what theme the plot wants to express. Just imagine if there are more than a dozen important characters in a movie at the same time, and there are many stories between the characters, the audience will be at a loss what to do, and it will be difficult to watch in just over an hour.
Remember each character clearly.
When Wang Tianlin assigned Feng Yifeng to write a script, he once said that there is a motto for writing scripts: simple
Best! The simpler the story, the better. Think about the good movies you have seen, are their plots very simple? So simple that like a newspaper short review, the entire script can be told in just a few dozen words.
The synopsis of the story.
After reading dozens of scripts provided by Wang Tianlin, Feng Yifeng still has some understanding of how to write scripts. As for whether the written script can be attractive, or whether the plot described in it can be affirmed, this is not what he cares about. Wang Tianlin also
There is no requirement that he can meet the requirements of a qualified screenwriter, as long as he can follow the basic format of the script and clearly write the plot and development in the script.
It took me a full week to complete a script by myself without any plagiarism or asking anyone. The plot is very simple: a college student who yearns for the life of a rich man actively strives for his goals.
During the struggle, he met a woman whom he loved deeply. But in the company, the boss's daughter fell in love with him and knew that he already had a girlfriend whom he loved deeply. She asked him to just leave his current girlfriend so that he could be with the boss.
When a woman gets married, she can get what she dreams of with less decades of struggle.
The man was moved. His goal was to live a rich life so that his parents, who worked hard to support him in school, could live a better life. His girlfriend also knew about his inner hesitation and struggle, and without any warning,
, left silently. With the departure of his girlfriend, the man woke up, in this world
In addition to money, there are many things that are more important than money. But he can no longer find the girlfriend who left him. He can only feel sad and does not continue to date the boss girl. But things are unpredictable.
Three months later, the girlfriend who left showed up again, but their meeting was no longer romantic.
It turned out that my girlfriend was suffering from kidney disease and was already lying in the ICU of the hospital. The doctor said that she had to transplant a kidney immediately, otherwise her life would be at risk. But the money required for a kidney transplant was simply not something that both men and women could afford. For this money
, the man had no choice but to go to the boss lady again and said that he could marry her as long as she was willing to pay the money. The boss lady agreed, and his girlfriend was saved. When his girlfriend recovered and walked out of the hospital, she found that the man she loved
man,
He has become someone else's husband. After many inquiries, I found out that the man was not living a happy life. He was depressed all day long and addicted to alcohol to anesthetize himself. My girlfriend found the man again and asked him to leave his current wife so that she could return to
By his side. But the man knew that he could not leave. The boss lady helped him. If he left, he would not only be sorry for his current wife, but also sorry for his former girlfriend. After all, he betrayed love first.
The girlfriend knew his pain, but she still chose to stay with him, but it touched the nerves of the boss girl. She went to find her girlfriend to show off, but the two sides had a dispute. In the mistake, the girlfriend beat the boss girl
He was pushed down the stairs and injured his spine. He could only spend the rest of his life lying in bed. The man was in great pain and everything was caused by him. He decided to make it clear to his girlfriend that he wanted to leave her again and return to his wife.
Be by your side and protect her forever.
The girlfriend also knew that she had done something wrong. She had hurt her lifesaver and also hurt the relationship between her and her boyfriend. It had reached an irreparable point. Late one night, she wrote a letter to her boss.
After writing a letter to her boyfriend, she ended her life with sleeping pills. Without her love and the most important man, her life was given by the woman who took away her lover. She chose to give everything back to her.
When a man knows that his girlfriend has passed away, he is even more devastated. He cannot face his current wife because he does not love her. He cannot face the accusations of his girlfriend's family, because he is unfaithful to love, which leads to this result.
He found that he could not face anyone, so he could only follow his deceased girlfriend on the road of no return. The family members of the two families laid the graves of the two of them.
Put them together so that they could live in the same quilt and die in the same cave. On the day of burial, the boss lady came to their graves in a wheelchair, with tears in her eyes. She finally understood that love maintained by money is simply not possible.
Unreliable and without a future. Under her father's arrangement, the boss girl left the place where she lived and went abroad. She didn't want to get hurt in this sad place.
The script was completed and everyone in the family had read it. After reading it, Ong Meiling kept blaming him for writing such a tragic story. After reading it, Eric Tsang pointed out many mistakes and the lack of climax in the plot.
It just keeps centering around money and love, and the final ending is really too sad, but it’s the first time I’ve been able to complete a script with a complete plot, which is pretty good.
With an uneasy heart, I sent the script to Wang Tianlin. However, this teacher, who was busy filming "Love in Love", did not make any comments after reading the script. He just nodded and said: "The script is not bad, but
When writing a script, you need to pay attention to the climax/climax
The part is. The book you wrote has a lot of developments, but the turning point is too twists and turns. It is difficult to express the whole story in the limited time when making a movie, but if it is a TV series, it is still possible. Keep working hard.
, this script is qualified.”
Getting the teacher's approval is more important than anything else. In my first writing, I was able to express the plot of the story clearly, with a complete beginning, development, and turning points. However, the climax/climax part was not perfect. But I was relieved, after all, it was my first time.
, if it can become a qualified script, he will think that he has really become a genius.
But just when Feng Yifeng thought he could take a break and go to the crew to watch the filming, Wang Tianlin once again assigned him a new assignment. He asked him to organize and direct the script he had just finished, and select all the actors.
The conception, art design, sound recording, and photography all need to be written down. It does not require him to actually direct, just imitate, and then write everything down in the script. The modifications to the script must also be written clearly every word.
Now it was hard for Feng Yifeng. From script creation to directing, he knew everything about what a director should do and what he needed to do - but he didn't know anything about it. Fortunately, Wang Tianlin didn't mean to make things difficult for him.
Guide yourself for twenty years
A summary of all the acting experiences and experiences, as well as books written by some world-famous directors, were given to him, and he was asked to go back and read them carefully. If he didn’t understand anything, he could always come to the set to ask, or take a look.
How different directors do it.
The director's re-creation is based on the film literary script, using montage thinking for artistic conception, writing split-shot scripts and "director's explanations", including grasping the theme and idea of the future film, character description, scene scheduling, as well as time and space structure, sound and picture
Determination of modeling and artistic style, etc. Then identify and determine actors, and based on the concept of body, put forward requirements for photography, actors, art design, recording, composition and other creative departments
According to the requirements, organize the main creative staff to study relevant information, analyze the script, focus and unify the creative intentions, and determine the overall creative plan of the film. The director also leads the on-site shooting and various post-production work according to the filming plan arranged by the production department until the film is completed.
Until the filming is completed. The quality of a film depends to a large extent on the quality and accomplishment of the director. The style of a film often reflects the director's artistic style.
The director also uses the actor's body and emotions, the choice of sight, the scheduling of light, the composition of the picture, the logic of editing, and the matching of sound to present a certain script on the image screen, thus making the script (and if any
: the person who expresses its ideas to the audience. Organizes the main creative staff to study and analyze the script and find the appropriate expression form for the script.
; Work with other members of the producer and director team to select actors; select exterior scenes or guide the construction of indoor scenes according to the script and shooting requirements; guide the props team to complete the preparation and layout of props; direct on-site shooting work; guide the work team to complete post-production,
Including editing, recording, theme song, animation, subtitles, special effects, etc.; discuss the promotion plan of the work with the film producer.
Looking at Lin Lin's various director responsibilities, Feng Yifeng really wanted to cry three times. Although he has learned how to write scripts, and knows a little about the production and selection of props and scenery. But how to use actors, editing, photography, special effects, etc.
Wait, he doesn’t know anything at all. Isn’t this making things difficult for him? But Wang Tianlin has already said that if you don’t understand anything, you can come to him at any time, or you can go to Du Qifeng or Wang Jing. Even Eric Tsang can satisfy him.
Requirements for knowledge.
Wang Tianlin finally said that a director must have his own unique style. If he learns everything from others, he will never be able to look outside the box and can only exist in the old style. He did not let Feng Yifeng learn from himself, but
It is to accomplish something independently that has never been done before, that is, to develop his own unique style. This process may be far away and may be difficult. But if you don't try, you will never succeed.
