Is Your Screenplay Losing Readers? Here's How To Tell
How to Make Your Script's First Impression Better | How to Improve Your Screenplay | How do you know if your screenplay is making a bad first impression or needs to be improved? If you've focused so much on "storytelling" that you've overlooked the craft and artistry of spec screenwriting, then you won't be able to make your script-or your STORY-stand out amongst the crowd of other screenwriters out there. That's why visual screenwriting techniques are so important!

    I just found this. How would I know if my idea has already gotten a copyright? I get it, you can't copyright the idea, just the execution. So, for both of the movies you mentioned, you couldn't 1) copy them exactly, for example, TITLE, Part 2, or 2) reference the same characters, correct? For my idea, it's possible/probably there's already been an execution of something similar to it. For that matter, it's possible that my characters are similar to characters already seen in TV or movies. Is there any research here or do they just hand out the copyright? If disputed I assume judgement would lean towards the "original" writer? THANKS

    This is very interesting and detailed, thank you. However, I'm British, currently living in Canada. I have a what I consider to be a killer treatment, but wish to protected it before inflicting it on someone. This is not a screenplay. Does the described process therefore include treatments? To add to the complication, the treatment is based on an internationally famous fictional character. Where would be my best place to copyright something that serves me internationally, please? In this context, what, then, is the ultimate definition of intellectual property? Thank you.

    • @cnlicnli

      "Special Handling" means you’re requesting the US Copyright Office to expedite your copyright registration application (it will get processed in about a week or two). This service will cost you an additional $800 (plus the $45/$65 filing fee). Special Handling ONLY applies if you have a pending copyright infringement lawsuit, contract or publication deadlines, or US customs issues. Otherwise, leave all those fields blank. If that’s not working, you’ll have to call or email the USCO for technical assistance.

      ​@@Storylosopher wrote, “The official copyright [registration] is for chain of title.” TIMELY registered works of authorship afford authors/creatives with MANY additional statutory benefits, including: 1) Creation of a *public record* (“chain of title”) where the public, licensees, copyright infringer attorneys, and others can search the USCO’s on-line Public Catalog database to locate the work, author, etc. This public record can defeat “innocent copyright infringer” defensive claims. 2) Granted *presumptive proof* (via prima-facie evidence) of a valid copyright & ownership claims. The infringer will have the legal burden to disprove the author’s registered copyright and facts stated within. 3) Have immediate *legal standing* to pursue non-Fair Use infringers in federal court (or via the Copyright Claims Board). 4) Can pursue actual damages and the infringer’s disgorged profits OR *statutory damages* from $750 to $30K and up to $150K for willful infringement *AND attorney fees & legal costs* (at the federal court’s discretion). 5) *US Customs & Border Protection* (part of the Department of Homeland Security) can intercept unlicensed/infringing works from entering the United States. 6) Importantly, the ability to encourage (PUSH!) US-based, non-Fair Use copyright infringers to *settle the infringement dispute out of court.* If the infringer doesn’t settle and the copyright plaintiff (author) prevails post-trial/appeal/s, the infringer can be liable for statutory damages AND the author’s attorney fees & costs.

      The time to process your copyright registration varies. If there are no issues with your on-line registration application and its deposit (the screenplay you're registering), it can take three/four weeks to a couple of months to receive your issued copyright “Certificate of Registration” in the mail, while it can take MONTHS if you register via the paper application. If you don’t receive your Certificate in three/four months, you should contact the US Copyright Office for an update.

I gather only hardcore fans are commenting on here so thought this might lighten things up a bit. It is a shame that Amazon didn’t get the rights, but I think they are doing a great job with what they have. I find the character of Galadriel not quite as I imagined and wonder if her husband, (I understand she was supposed to be married) will make an appearance in the show ever. The show is now in the 2nd season and we are awaiting the 4th episode to drop.

      You can register unfinished screenplays. If you registered a completed screenplay, but then months or years later, you wanted to update it with new materials, you should register those changes with the US Copyright Office as a “derivative” work. You’ll have to register the derivative work via the $65 on-line *Standard Application.* In the Standard Application, you’ll have to “disclaim” your original screenplay and identify any NEW creative material you’ve added.

    To write anything, you need experience.

      Yep! Research is also important, too.

    Thank you so much for solving one of my doubts about how to write a screenplay. And yet I am plagued by another doubt that seems to have no answer, since I have probably not seen the right screenplays to solve my problem; therefore I ask you if you can answer me: When a character thinks, is it right to write it with (V.O.) after the name. So far clear, but if a character first thinks and then speaks, are they two different dialogues or should I put the parentheses (speaks) under the thought and then continue with the spoken dialogue?

    • @Storylosopher
      @Storylosopher 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You'd use VO with a voiceover like the one you're talking about. It would be two different dialogue blocks. I cover all of this in my in-depth online course!

      @@Storylosopher I unfortunately don't speak English, otherwise I would take your classes. Then can I ask you just one last question? If in the Scene Header the scenery is a perfectly closed place without showing whether it is day or night, I don't have to write anything about it? Or do I have to write it anyway just to keep track of the passing time?

    Is the Library of Congress and US Copyright Office the same thing? [Same place] Some people have told me to copyright my screenplay with the Library of Congress. I'm confused. Thanks.

      The USCO is part of the LOC. Register with the USCO.

      The US Copyright Office (USCO) is part of the Library of Congress (LOC). You’re actually registering your copyright claims with the USCO, rather than the LOC.

    Hiya! Does the work need to be completed before registering?

      @Storylosopher 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Definitely.

      It’s best to register completed works. However, authors can register un-finished works. Authors can then submit another registration (likely a “derivative” work) to finalize the finished work using the Standard Application.

    Isn't it just as well, in a spec script, to simply state in the Action that the Character is texting, place in quotes the actual words and leave it to the Director to decide how to put it up on screen?

    • @Storylosopher
      @Storylosopher 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The director will of course decide how to shoot it, but the idea here is to make it easy to read and understand what's happening while making it a cohesive experience for the reader.

    It's too wishy washy for new, casual viewers, too spoonfed, boring and lame for Lord of the Rings movie fans ... and way too "blasphemous" for hard-core Tolkien fans. Why did they bother? The nerd that still lives inside Bezos wanted it. Having ANY rights to Tolkien's work was his Precious .... and look at the evil that's been done as a result........gollum.....eck
