Half a year ago, I just wanted to try to start recording some words on any platform. As a result, two months later, I started writing novels. Three months later, I finished my first novel and successfully signed a contract to publish an e-book. With a breakthrough, you will want to create more possibilities, so you have this script class. I'm more demanding of myself now. I hope I can continue to write more novels and write several plays at the same time. Maybe one day I can see my creation in the form of movies and TV on the public screen.
In this scriptwriting class, Wu Jie invited Wang Ziren, a well-known director, to teach in person. Wang Dao is a writer and director who developed in the film and television industry. He has created many works and won various awards.
After a pilot class and an enlightenment class, I have a more intuitive understanding of the profession of screenwriter and script creation. Wang Dao's lecture was wonderful, professional and pragmatic. They are not that kind of theoretical generalities. Based on his own practical experience over the years, I sincerely explain all kinds of knowledge of screenwriters to you.
In the pilot class, Director Wang Ziren explained several classifications of screenwriters, and generally described the market situation of different types of scripts, while describing the functional characteristics of screenwriters. Let's have some macro understanding of this industry and have more interest in the profession of screenwriter.
Then, Wang Dao made a detailed analysis of the difference between a director and a screenwriter, and the difference between a novel and a script, which made us have a clearer understanding of the direction that we should work hard to learn script creation in the future.
In the next day's enlightenment class, Wang Dao gave a detailed explanation from three aspects: screenwriter's professional quality, screenwriter's core ability and the transformation from novel writer to screenwriter. The whole journey took more than an hour, and there was no nonsense in the whole journey, and the dry goods were full.
After listening to the course twice, I found my own direction and made clear my own shortcomings. In fact, there are many similarities between novel creation and script creation, and there are also many similarities in the requirements for creators.
It is required to create works that can withstand loneliness and sink down to polish their works; We should be able to observe life attentively, learn to record all kinds of materials in life and find inspiration in life; You must be able to tell stories, extract wonderful plots for stories and portray characters in detail; The most important thing is to continue to act and stick to it.
Of course, there are some differences between screenwriters and novelists. Novels are written for readers and tell stories. The script is written for the crew, not the workbench, but a work instruction for the creation of a film and television work. There are great differences between them in expression and creation. The final script is presented to the audience by the actors on the screen. Compared with the novel presented to the audience through the text, there is much less narrative and psychological presentation. Ask for more dialogue, highlight the character, and have a certain subtext space. The plot expressed in the script will be different, which requires more drama, more conflict and suspense.
After listening to these two classes, I am more interested in this aspect. Learning this knowledge can not only open up more possibilities for yourself, but also be of great help in novel creation. After listening to it, I felt eager to try. Let's find a movie scene to write a play after class. I must find a favorite scene to practice tomorrow.
Today, my partners also discussed this knowledge and found a good model. It suddenly occurred to me that I bought the wrong Harry Potter when I bought books for my children at home. The script version of The Child Cursed by Ancestors has been neglected on the bookshelf for several years, and now it can finally come in handy and study hard.
The next course Wang Dao will be more detailed and professional. I must work hard to prepare for my study and find more knowledge in advance. At the same time, I am more looking forward to the next course. I hope that by the end of the project, I can not only write a novel completely, but also hand in a decent assignment for a script.
Life is always full of infinite possibilities. As long as you dare to think and do, everything will come unexpectedly!
