If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You could make a film out of just about anything so long as there is a clear vision about the story.
Anything you can imagine, you can put on film.
I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I'll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone's permission.
I know I'd like to direct a film at some point, and maybe I'll write it.
Most writers have no idea how to make a film. It's a totally different skill set. Nor is it just to translate exactly what's on the page directly on to the screen - because that would be terrible. It would be five hours long, and the structure would be a mess. But the writers know the characters and the story.
It's much like writing a screenplay with someone else and that's how we view it, I think.
I try to imagine the scenes as I'm writing them as if I were watching them play like a film.
A screenplay is really a blueprint for something that will be filmed. Therefore you must always keep in mind that whatever you write is going to be staged, for real.
Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't.
I discovered that, in order to write a magnificent piece, you should shoot the images because once you are filming, you are writing the script in your mind.
