The producer had the belief based on his research that he didnt think that the show would make money if the cast were predominantly black. Whether or not that is true can be debated. If the same producer made the exact same statement about white people you would not call him racist. You would call him brave.

If an employment agency gets 10% on top of their temp they find a job for, it should be that way with writers. After all, without the script, NO ONE gets paid.

Homie???? 😂🤣 dude wtf

Wish there was a channel that did novels like this. Still I can see where your advice can help me with my novel.

Thanks Dominic. I know a percent of net is bad, but do they ever negotiate a percent of gross?

Thank you for the masterclass video Dominic. As always, very informative and very helpful. It's so important to remind ourselves that we're writing for a reader. Someone who's probably just slogged through a whole bunch of screenplays and has a stack more to get through. If we're going to drop a screenplay on their desk, it should be a break from the monotony. It needs to be an entertaining read. It shouldn't feel like work. It has to be a page turner. Something that grabs them at fade in and doesn't let them go until fade out. Something they enjoy so much that they want to share with others.

Once again, your insights are spot on! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a writer, working with a producer in search of a screenwriter and this video is is a tremendous help for me.

Very helpful, thank you for the work you've put in! Are there any similar channels, but for Actors?

This script gave me bladerunner vibes. Noice 👌

Where she releases his leg and a few moments later its constricting his leg.

A malignant stone growth? what's that even mean?

The last answer for the last question is a gem. 😅🫰

1 plus 1 equals 9?? Misleading.

This content is amazing stuff keep it up

Sometimes when I'm writing, it helps to just think about the technical parts first before the artistic vision come into play. So my process will start with just getting the bones on the page. Then I edit with my "filmmaker cap" on wherein I try to think about the scene in a way a producer or director would be thinking about *how* to make it happen. It might mean adding a lot of unnecessary details like camera angles and being specific like "low key lighting, shadows obscuring face" during my first pass. But I'll go back and then cut the fluff and smooth the rough edges until it flows more artistically than being a hard, technical guide. I like to think a script helps a director see the movie in their head, as they'll have their own ideas for *how* to bring it to life on the screen that might be different than my own (like I may be giving a lot of shadowed imagery, but our perceptions of what that final product looks like could be different even if it gives the same "vibe" as we're both telling stories in our own, different mediums). Giving them an exact how-to is like reading an Ikea furniture build manual without any pictures. The process of a writer and an artist, in this context with lighting, are very similar. One of the hardest things for me during my early journey as a writer was mistakingly believing I had to do the lighting before I'd even finished my sketch. Just like when you're drawing, you need to do the sketch, the line art, the flats, the shading, the lighting, the highlights- it's all a layered process. While it doesn't have to be totally linear, it does help to build things up. Otherwise, I got overwhelmed that my "sketch" didn't look like the final painting, which was unfair to me. Trusting the artistic process as a writer helped me grow. This video's core also applies to sound and colors too! There are a lot of aspects to cinematic design that screenwriters should be keeping in mind. :) It always helps to see visual and scripted examples the way you do in your videos. I'm a visual person both with words on a page and seeing the picture, so that juxtaposition is absolutely perfect for learning! While anyone can go online and do their own research to understand cinematic lighting and then learn how to apply it to their script, courses like yours condense all that info into one place, make it digestible, and give the added bonus of that learning tool I mentioned before. YT is a great way to advertise those classes and giving this snip-it was perfect for knowing what to expect in the course. Fantastic work, as always! Thanks a ton! :D

Wow, sobering but good. Thanks Dominic. This video is 5 yrs. old and probably even more relevant (?).

only found your channel recently. your videos are genuinley so informative and well put together. 10/10 Dom

Very nice!

"9 Ways to Write Cinematic Lighting Into Your Screenplay" but really only two. Sell your program but lose the clickbait

Hell yeah always excited for a new video

I was scared that you left. Glad you're back with a new lesson. Keep doing it. And Thanks for your lessons and teachings sir.

It's always a great day when Scriptfella graces us with his presence!

Very finely explained! Loved your lecture.

Woah 🤩 You’re back!!!!

Anyone who wants to get ahead of the mob trying to break into HW then have a gander at this and many other free videos from Dom (Scriptfella) He taught me visual writing for the movies and I made it to the Nicholl Top 50 with a script that was optioned. Don't pass this dude by!

Excellent commentary. Time to inject more LIGHT (or less) into my scripts! Many, many thanks for this incredible info! : ) Let there be Light….. on the page!!

We all realize she just said she would be annoyed by the scripts of Godfather II (Flashback/Backstory), Pulp Fiction (Out of linear sequence), Shawshank Redemption, Ozark (Voice-over narration), Breaking Bad (Flash forward), All The Presidents Men (News reporter in bg) and Star Wars (17 minutes before we meet Luke Skywalker)?

I am a struggling screenplay writer, after finishing my writing, I found out that writing a script is easier than selling it.😂😂😂

"you gotta respect the readers time" this really made it click for me how you can't write as a director but for the director

The knife cuts both ways. Hollywood, and Australia, and other Western countries are full of agenda driven propagandist material pushing identity politics, gender, LGBTQ, and race swapping. The audience is absolutely fed up with it. Activist pushing the 'woke', agenda have plagued current film and television output and the quality of current Hollywood films is appalling as a result. The bottom line has been affected badly, too. I was accidentally CC'd in on an internal email for an acting agency I'd applied to and they said my acting was top shelf but I was "Too white".

Love this.

+100 for the Malcom Tucker reference. Imagine my amusement when they announced he was playing The Doctor. I was really hoping for some spice in the script. LOL
