[@africaamaze]

It is really not easy but I'm rooting for you. You can do it. Remember, if it was easy everyone else should have done it. Which means it wouldn't have value anymore but the difficulty is what makes you special when you finally crack the code

But I don't understand when you said a scene must take 2 ages

[@lealee2978]

@@africaamaze Well you don't really have to take this suggestion but me and a lot of others have problems with creativity and inspiration. Starting a project and losing interest half way, having characters and an idea for a story but now knowing how to turn a rough idea into a whole film, and dealing with creativity block constantly. It might be interesting to see your tips to push creativity and deal with discouragement if you have any. Thank you!

@@lealee2978 Well noted. I will definitely make a video on that. You will be seeing a video on that soon when we're done with the how to write, shoot and edit series. Just keep your fingers crossed and I shall make sure to directly address it to you. Thanks for your support.

[@inusahcomedygh2942]

Pls is it by force that u should write script before you shoot your scene?

[@africaamaze]

Yes Inusah Comedy Gh. It's important to always have a script. If you don't have the time, it's still important to at least have a written skeletal idea of what you are going to shoot. But it's best practice to write a detailed script. Try that and you will never regret it.

[@StellaAnuotv]

Thanks for sharing sir. Please at what point should I use ( cont'd)
Again where in particular should I put o.c,v.o and o.s

[@africaamaze]

Cont'd happens when you finish a dialogue and add a description in between. Because of the break, it's important to add Cont'd to specify that it's still the same person talking

[@africaamaze]

O.S is a camera description. V.O has to do with voice

You need to make sure it's a trusted freind or family

Pls sir in script writing, I'm I permitted to turn another person's story into a screenplay to be acted or is it forbidden by any law?

It's very subjective. You can change the story a little and make it a whole new story. That way you have no problem. However, if you copy word to word, you might run into issues

Or sir if you wouldn't mind can I talk to you one on one? Coz I Will be highly delighted in you.

[@africaamaze]

Reach out on Instagram let's talk

[@loverupom]

FIRST!!! SCRIPT OR STORY OR ONEPAGE SYNOPSIS???? WHIC ONE I SHOULD START???FOR PITCHING ANY OTT APPS

[@africaamaze]

I personally turn to write a tagline first before the writing process. Unless you're pitching the idea to someone before you even begin writing the script, that is the only time I may choose to have a synopsis. However, I know such synopsis will definitely be altered again at the end because the direction of the film might change during the writing of the actual script
