Graeme Beck - Screen Writing and Script Editing Services
Screen writing is writing for a visual medium, a medium that is far more powerful than the written word. Written language requires translating in the mind first, before concepts and images can be understood. The harder the concept, the harder the mind has to work. Images travel straight into the mind and are virtually comprehend immediately, bypassing this translation process. That is why film is such a powerful medium.
The three levels of film making
The easiest and least expensive method of film making is putting images to voice over. 'Talking' about people doing things. The next stage in film making is to interweave voice over with action. The final stage of film making is all action, where we are watching what is going on, not being told what is going on. Feature films are usually in this category although there is a trend towards the easier method of voice over. It is a lot harder to write in a visual way and it requires the screenwriter to do the processing work for the audience, not the other way around.
We always capture 'live action dialogue' to lift the production beyond the pack.
My services also include script editing. Write a first draft or jot down notes on paper of what you are trying to achieve and I look forward to being of service.
