I read "Save The Cat", made notes about it, and wrote a script following that 'formula'. Before I say anything else, I must say the book was really easy to read and gave me a very quick push forward in the world of screenwriting. On the other hand, I found it way too limiting. I think everybody has their own style of writing (and for a lot of people, Save The Cat works). But, for me, Save The Cat told me, "these are the rules of screenwriting"; to which I said, "Good to know. Now I'm gonna start shattering them one by one."
@lorenspersonal30307 жыл бұрын
I read a quote that went, "If there was a sure formula to writing good movies, there wouldn't be any bad ones" and that makes so much sense. There are definite objective things you need in your movie (characters, structure, etc) but the way you go about it is up to you. Movie making is still kind of the wild west, only a select few really know what they're doing, and chances are they're the ones who make their own rules. I think the three-act structure is essentially bingo. "PLOT POINT #1, PLOT POINT #2, PLOT POINT #3, BINGO!" I think it should be taught and learned though, as it teaches the valuable lesson that structure in film is important, but telling someone they need to follow it exactly by the book is so depressing.

I am reminded about my favorite movie and director of all time, "2001: A Space Odyssey." Kubrick wanted to make a sci-fi movie. So, he heard of Arthur C. Clarke.

An idea + two visionaries = genius.

He's lucky that he has the power to direct what he writes. This would never fly in the "industry." Studio readers would just reject this kind of writing out of hand. I'm not saying Quentin isn't a brilliant writer it's just that Studio readers have specific rules that they need to adhere to. At the very least, if he didn't happen to be Quentin T. and if a studio was interested they would get back to him with notes and make him re-write the screenplay and slim it down and take out any unnecessary words/exposition etc. That's where good a writer/director has an advantage over a pro script writer: as long as Q.T. keeps making movies that make money he can put whatever fluff he wants into his screenplays. And all the more power to him. I fully support his unconventional approach. It's a breath of fresh air.

Quentin can say screenplays shouldn't be like blueprints but rather like novels, which I totally agree with, but the sad truth is unless you want to make your own independent film where you're in complete control over everything, a budding screenwriter simply cannot do that. Mainstream producers HATE novel-like screenplays; when it comes to them, you need to follow an ultra-specific yet sparsely detailed formula in which they can easily pour over and understand within one read. If they're reading a screenplay that isn't formatted the way they like from Page 1 on, they'll throw it away without a second glance. They're not artists or authors like true filmmakers are; all they care about is profitability and efficiency. That's why Tarantino's films are so incendiary and so unique and stylish; one guy has control over his own original stories and he's allowed to shine because his first films were independent and they were amazing. Compare his films to, say, MCU films, which are so overly-done, formulaic, polished, and indiscernible that they're the cinematic equivalent of junk food - accessible and fun, but ultimately devoid of substance and style. Seriously, fuck the cinematic corporations. If you truly want to get your vision out there you NEED to go independent.

Nick Carlson - Right on the money, good sir. The hardest thing in the world for a writer is to write in the studio screenwriting format...which is essentially forcing a creative type to shelf his/her style and expression in order to convey a bare bones idea for a non-creative type (i.e. - a producer) in order to give it to a director of their choice. The chosen director, who is a creative type, will then interpret YOUR original idea and put their interpreted "flesh" onto your bare bones screenplay. That could be a nightmare, unless you are also said director, which is not only rare, but nearly impossible in the studio system. Only a select few, like Tarantino, get to have complete creative freedom to direct AND write in the way they damn well please. At the end of the day, if you want $$, go the route of the studio system, but leave your sentimentality about your creations at the door, and expect to not make much money until you sell at least 4-5 scripts (or more). If you want to satisfy the creative animal inside you, make independent film, though you will not have much $$ to fully see your baby come to life like you imagined...that is, unless you rock the world with your independent release online and/or on the festival circuit. At any rate, good luck to you all, and stay thirsty, my friends!

"Compare his films to, say, MCU films, which are so overly-done, formulaic, polished, and indiscernible that they're the cinematic equivalent of junk food - accessible and fun, but ultimately devoid of substance and style." I was with you till you said that. You're entitled to your opinion of course, but I've seen MCU films that I felt had plenty of style and substance (Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man to name a few). It would've been refreshing if you could've made your point without feeling the need to resort to the tired, cliché and preachy "MCU movies lack substance" bandwagon, in which you attack something popular in order to make yourself appear to be some sort of discerning taste and/or an authority on artistic merit "telling us plebs how it really is", etc., but oh well... Kinda fallacious and generalizing on your part (not to mention presumptuous) if you ask me, but oh well... "If you truly want to get your vision out there you NEED to go independent." That's not necessarily true either. That all depends on who you are and what your reputation and level of clout is. Directors like Christopher Nolan, James Cameron and Edgar Wright have been able to get their vision out their just fine under the studio system. Obviously, they are the exception rather than the rule, and very few people will ever enjoy the very special position that Nolan and Cameron inhabit, but the point is, it is possible to make original films in conjunction with cinematic corporations if you play your cards right, and big-budget original films like Inception or The Matrix for instance, could never be made independently, cause there's no such thing as an indie film with a budget in access of 100 million dollars.

Absolutely agree with this. I've 1000 screenplays working as a intern at an agency and while I adore Tarantino's films, his screenplays are never a quick easy read. The truth is if you are not a proven name and the intern/reader doesn't see a plethora of white space on the page, they will tune out after Act 1. That all said I do wish I could write like Tarantino! As for everybody complaining about the MCU reference every ORIGIN FILM they do is highly formulaic. However I think a more apt reference would have been the Transformers franchise or the Fast & Furious franchise; those movies do little to add depth to the worlds they portray and rely on non stop action to get from page 1 to 120.

I do get criticized for including narration that borders on "should be shown not told," and I DO make the choice, more than occasionally, to show. I'm doing mostly adaptations of my own novels, however, and I've found two things: First, making scenes out of narratives is FUN. I get to control how that scene plays out. BUT I also get to make up scenes that were never in the novel, but make the film better/more interesting or help clarify a character's motivation. And while I agree with comments like those of Nick Carlson, I still believe the RIGHT producer/director will find colorful narration that expands or clarifies (again, occasionally) helpful and may just trigger a pathway in that individual's mind, an "i get that" moment, possibly. That all said, yeah, it seems like if you really want to make the movie you want to make, you kind of have to do it yourself or, at the very least, find indies who can embrace the story as you have written it. No matter, I'm going to write what I know in the, albeit structured, manner in which the words/scenes/dialogue appear in my mind. Thank you.

That’s another talent, though, and he’s not necessarily any good at it. Just because he writes something that is too cumbersome or extraneous for a typical script, and has to adapt an idea to the screen, doesn’t mean he could tell that scene well with words. In fact, I doubt he could. Personally, I thought the worst part of Kill Bill was Uma talking to the camera. It sounded like poorly written, phony exposition to me. Not his strong suit.

It's good to hear that this art form we practice, while required to be contained in a rather rigid format, is still, even for someone like Tarantino, quite fluid and frequently murky. Also, it's good to hear it from this guy. There are gazillions of "screenwriters" out there who had, once long ago, a shooting--star moment. Now they all seem to make their living telling us how to write screenplays. I'm not sure how much street cred they actually have, but it is also indicative of the industry, I think, in that we writers don't get too many homeruns. With that in mind, I'd almost rather gather a group of film school kids to shoot my movie than toss what is a pretty good script before swine. (One rather successful insider labeled it "Slingblade meets Natural Born Killers," and pledged a decent amount of money. I also got a couple of my lawyer clients to pony up some more. Now they're all demanding a good crew, and I don't know where to start...ugh.) Thanks Narrative Art.

Very interesting about writing a story (novel or screenplay) from start to finish and letting it unfold while writing. However, is this not strongly dependent on the narrative, like the way of writing? Let's say someone writes a whodunnit, and the writer does not know (does not write) the killer until he comes to the end part, and then he chooses who the killer is. Does that not mean there's a high chance of getting plot holes, like some parts in the beginning or middle may not add up to the final part?

That's awesome, dude, I'm really happy to hear that! :D Good choices, too, they're both great movies. That's my favorite thing about reading scripts: it is *immensely* enjoyable if you pick a movie that you like. I love to spend a lot of evenings at my desk devouring them the same way some people settle in with a book on the couch. It's a great, fun way to see how the pros do it, and there's an endless supply of great movies to check out. Might I make a few suggestions? Not specific movies, but general ideas: -Try to watch the movies after reading the script, preferably with the script in your face as well. It's a great way to compare and contrast what makes it in and how. -On that note, try to read different versions of scripts if you know they went through a lot of revisions or just are a lot different compared to what's on screen. Tarantino is great for this since, as mentioned in this video, he writes for the reader and is aware that a lot of his stuff won't make it to screen. -I strongly recommend watching movies from every time period. This is hard for me because I'm not a fan of old movies (like actually old, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin old) but it's invaluable to get some perspective and see what older techniques have informed their way to modern cinema. Same with new films since there are just so many in every genre coming out all the time. What are they doing differently? How does it work? Why does it work? -Lastly, please try to watch films and read scripts from around the world. It will blow your mind to see great films from other countries and how they differ stylistically. I'm not crazy about old American films but I could watch Akira Kurosawa all day. This includes stuff like anime (and cartoons, for that matter); TV scripts are a great way to see how to deftly handle a large narrative well, like Breaking Bad, The Wire. Even smaller stuff like old Simpsons is great depending on your interest. Whew! Sorry for the novel, but I'm clearly passionate, haha. All the best, man! (Also I accidentally posted part of the comment and had to edit to finish it, so sorry if you only saw half of this!) P.S. Sorry, I'd also like to add whenever I say "watch movies from" that automatically includes "read scripts from" as well! Obviously you don't have to read the script for every good movie you ever see but at least a couple of films from every genre, part of the world, time period, and influential filmmakers are very useful.

There’s like four people In Hollywood that can write screenplays like that. Anyone else will have their manuscript thrown straight in the bin. QT has earned the right to do what he wants, but it’s a fair criticism in a general sense.

QT can write them as novels because he knows he's getting his shit green lit. LITERALLY if he SHIT on a piece of papers, the studio would make it. so everyone else has to abide by the rules while he gets to break 'em.

With a novel you can do internal dialog such as thoughts, you can spend pages laying out backstory, and you can write that sucker as long as you want to get all the story in. With a screenplay if you can display it you can't write it, you have a hard number for your page count, and if you haven't hooked them in in the first ten pages then you've wasted your time. The Novel format allows a LOT more room and latitude.

Regardless of the fact that Tarantino is a cinematic genius, there are plenty of people out there who can write or have written high quality screenplays.. The only difference between them and him, in production circumstances, is film budget.

Maybe to be true to your own vision and/or even discover what your vision is you need to write your screenplay like a novel, putting all the detail and story into it that you come up with, even down to the dreaded and verboten camera direction. The typical command is that you absolutely should not do that, but maybe that's just pre-packaging your creative children up for the inevitable slaughter in a pretty little box with a bow on it to please the delicate sensitivities of the butchers. There's no guarantee your film, the film you envision in your screenplay, will ever get made, even if you intend to make it yourself, so the screenplay might be the only thing you ultimately create and you might as well write exactly what you want. Or maybe film, true film, is not about written narrative but accomplished purely with the camera and through editing and going overboard with words on paper takes it in the wrong direction and away from film. Maybe screenplays should be even more sparse and sketch-like and prospective screenwriter/filmmakers shouldn't do their real storytelling until they get a camera in their hand. Anyway, clearly there are many different ways to look at it and it's probably best to survey all the options, even try them all out or invent your own, rather than slavishly follow the standard instruction from Hollywood slave masters in this post-Hollywood, post-celluloid world. I think it's a cool idea to write your story in several different ways, or anyway it's good to remember that you can always put it into a different format whenever you want, so write it however you feel like doing it. Whatever gets your story out is the only "right way" because no one is your master when you write. Getting too hung up on form only gets in the way.

I don't think this works for starting writers. You need a lot of skills and experiences to finally reach to a point that you don't actually feels like you're using certain techniques. Quentin watched tens of thousands of films before he made his first. There are always tons of practices and learning that succeeded masters won't underline but extremely important.

1) I conjure up the most repulsive scenarios possible 2) I thread them together with a revenge story on autopilot 3) I divert the audience from the voyeurism and banality of the preceding trash, with: a) name-dropping, b) pop music and c) visual references to innocent movies from the past. The sum total of my efforts teaches the dumb masses to love cruelty and debauchery. It works every time.

I like his films and I agree that is better to write to much then to write perfect its like being on a buffet. But I think he could learn a bit from writers. They part their books into 3 sections + intro and conclution. And each of the sections is devided into 10 chapers. The writer then reaseach for the book and store cards with information in the most suited chapter and then start writing the content from these cards this method makes it also easy to shuffle the cards into a other more suited chapter after the fact.
