Quoted from grademan Or is it 12 pages of writing plus a title page, ie. a total of 13 pages

yes it is

So a romantic comedy would be a young couple, they have a misunderstanding, and it is concluded happily, with comedy in the story...

And one more day to get them completed in...


I'm wondering how many entries Don has received so far???

It would be too easy. There are so many kinds of romcom. And they're not absolutely all conclude happilly. (i.e. "My Best Friend's Wedding"). They are so formated. Hope there'll be some more original.

Quoted from The French fella Hope there'll be some more original.

Hear hear. And there too.

Hope there won't be any masturbation, anal rape, or divine semen in the submissions

Well the category is romantic dramedy so in theory it may not end well.

Hey guys. Have been meaning to ask this all week:

Ok, I've done the script and just did the lyrics. But here lies the difficulty and I think it will be the same for all the scripts. Can we embed the music in the actual script, so when it's read, the lyrics will connect with the melody?

at the moment, I can play the melody and sing my words no worries there. But the lyrics don't start till a few beats in, so anyone reding them(or anyone reading anyone's else's script) won't get the same feel for it. Does that make sense?
I'm sure George and other musos get my drift. Any thoughts?

Personally, I think the lyrics should begin after the intro, that means around 16/17 seconds after the beginning. Is it what you mean?

Quoted from michel Personally, I think the lyrics should begin after the intro, that means around 16/17 seconds after the beginning. Is it what you mean?

Yes, yes, michel! Exactly my point.  My lyrics start at 6-7 seconds in. so, do i write the beats in the dialogue?  

What if I write.......to signal the beats or actually write (count seven seconds) This sounds odd but if people listen tot he song at that point while reading, it will fit better.

Someone pointed that problem earlier. The point is that the music should have been hummed at the precise time they wanted us to start the lyrics. I'm pretty sure that some people are going to start the lyric at the very beginning. This'll sound odd like you say. It'll be anarchy...

I'm assuming people will play the song as they read the scripts. If i do put down explcit directions then that'll give away my identity! Unless all of us put down a beat count.

Shhh...
No one is supposed to know who wrote a script, Ringo.  

You could put something like

CUE MUSIC

NOTE: Start song lyrics on the seventh beat.

          

I am so not musical.  What is a beat count?  I'm lucky to have just gotten some crappy lyrics out.  

Quoted from CindyLKeller Shhh... No one is supposed to know who wrote a script, Ringo.   You could put something like CUE MUSIC NOTE: Start song lyrics on the seventh beat.

Good idea Cindy.
My identity might be compromised anyway, if anyone spots the obscure Beatle references I snuck in...

I'm not a muso either wb but a beat count is just the, well, count of the beat. Sort of chord changes and stuff.  The melody for the script doesn't really suggest any lyrics starting until 7 seconds in, to me anyway.

Cheers Rin...ah, stevie.

So if the lyrics start at the 7th beat, then end at like the 20th then restart again at another beat, then the chorus starts at another beat ...  whoa.  That just gave me a headache.  I'll have to break out my son's metranome (however you spell that).
