WaterFalls feature film LogLine   (reply) Posted by: avlewis.smith
Date Posted: 49 minutes ago

Sounds intriguing but a little incomplete as is. It's missing a protagonist and his/her/their involvement to stop what's going on, plus urgency of stakes.

Does the disease lead to the murderous activity?

You don't need 'authentic' - in addition to 'cursed' which is sufficient. I would say a bit more story or mythology where the book is concerned would add to your teaser as well.

P.S. The title - does Waterfalls have meaning?

"Demo Reel" logline   (reply) Posted by: PKCardinal
Date Posted: Today, 5:27pm
Just giving this a quick glance...

Not sure the demo reel part is necessary for the logline. "A freelance writer hired to write a fluff piece on an aging musician uncovers..."

I think what's missing for me is the protagonist's goal. What is the conflict, and how is the protagonist instrumental in resolving it? Without reading the script, I have no idea how to answer those questions from just the logline. I think it needs to be in there. And, it can't be "defeat evil."

"Demo Reel" logline   (reply) Posted by: LC

Kelly, I notice your script is finally up. I'll give some feedback on your screenplay and logline a little later. Just acknowledging your post for now.

Edit:
If you could narrow down your genre to one or two major categories what would it be?

Okay, take out (being renovated), take out the writer character's  name. Unless this character is iconic and known to us (e.g. Bond, Reacher,) it's generally not needed in a logline.

When a demo reel is discovered in a music studio being renovated a freelance writer, Darin Morgan, is hired to find the musician in Clarksdale, Mississippi and write a fluff piece. As he investigates the aging musician, he inadvertently uncovers a kidnapping plot that sparks ...

The Bird Feeder   (reply) Posted by: JAShearer

Dear D.A.Banaszak

Firstly, thank you for reading my screenplay - and the detailed feedback. I will take onboard your comments.

Re military procedure, etc., yes, I grew up in a Royal Navy/Royal Marines family and later worked with the latter/SBS, during my chosen career. I knew the explanations in italics would annoy some readers, appease others. Furthermore, I utilised experiences or stories recalled by others, e.g. the standing in the breakfast tale was witnessed by my late father. Likewise, I can testify that the Bangladeshi restaurant, Bucket of Shit, is as described - so is the unique submarine recovery method. Half Man was an SF guy whose path I crossed.

You caught me out totally on the plot hole - I can thi...

This was a slow read. The emphasis on military terms and procedures bogged things down and required me to pay attention. On the other hand, it gave the story a sense of legitimacy. You obviously know your way around military procedures and tactics. Either that or you did a huge amount of research.

I got a little lost in the beginning when Mr. Shaw stepped onto the prince’s breakfast. I realize that the purpose of the scene was to establish Jamie Shaw's character but I thought it should have played more in the story. There was barely a mention of the incident after that. I felt like there should have been more.

The explanations for the various acronyms were needed and improved the read enormously. Otherwise I would have been ke...

There's something there. Try making the last part first. Rearranging it.

"A troubled young man's inner demons surface as mysterious entities begin calling out to him from his alien invaded world. Will he listen to them and find redemption or...?"

I don't know what the alternative is if he does not find redemption. You could add that part.

Page 1.
•     “He comes to halt.”  Could use an “a” try “He comes to a halt” or “He halts.”
•     “He rises his hand and waves.”  Use “raises”

Page 2.

•     “to get good look.” Use “to get a good look.”
•     “The bullet enters his forehead, and out the back of his head. Making a lake of his blood and puddles of brain matter in the snow. His body drops diving right into the lake of his own blood.” This reads okay, but it has some repetition in it.  Try “The bullet enters his forehead, and out the back. His body drops into the lake of his blood and brain matter.”

•     Two words together “onethey” in first dialogue.  It may be on purpose but as a reader it gives me pause.

•     “BOUNTY HUNTER Yes. BOUNTY HUNTER (Clears throat and shifts to a lower tone) I mean, yeah, I am... the one.”   Have him clear his throat between the two dialogues. It will separate his speaking and read better. In parentheses it is acceptable but with you having the dialogue like that it will help by taking it out of parentheses and using it as description to separate the two dialogues back-to-back by the same character.

•     “BOUNTY HUNTER Yeah? Well... (Beat)”   Erase “beat” get rid of it. It’s used in the dialogue to show pause. Not...
