itanu kaadu...vere atanu...nenu adi chadivi kuudaa 20 years avutundi...e book chadivinaa chaalu basic jargon kosam...sony vegas windows lo install avutundi... That's why learning is a laborious process...over a period...you would learn to observe all in one pass: editing, story, scene, plot, performance, comedy, music... But for now just enjoy the film in first pass and if you think it's a great film...give it a second viewing and learn all those technical aspects and scrutinize every tiny detail of the film... You are in the second phase of 3 phases to of the path to become a director.... 1) prati director ni tidataam...vaadi kante better gaa tiyyagalam anukuntaam... 2) asalu aa director elaa tesstunnado observe chestaam... 3) maname okati teestaam...adi ati daridramaina cinema ani telustundi...appudu phase 1 lo e director ni ayite tittamo vaadine appreciate cheyyadam start chestaam... 4) Try to make our mark by being different in some aspect....and try to make a debut with a good film....or just try to make one film or even a bad film...ee janma ki oka cinema chaalu anukune stage ki cherataam...

One oversimplified idea for the plot: Hero, young man, ki oka company untadi, aa company elaanti company ad company naa...iron comapny naa anedi... tarvaata kadhaki elaanti look kaavaali ani alochchinchi maarchuko vachchu. Hero ki old man parichayam avutaadu...hero ki youth kaakundaa migilina evarannaa asahyam, enduku ante that's just his view point...he equates old people with dead people and treats kids as immature... A strong opposition to his view point comes from the old man. We have to chisel out how to show this opposition and how they meet...this has to be the inciting incident for the story. Young man's ego is hurt and he abuses the old man. At this point old man, cool as ever, asks if the hero he is ready for a challenge... And the challenge is(I know it's silly, but it still helps our thought process): Hero has a company and he would keep the young employees on paid leave and would keep only old people and recruits kids... It would be on, this way, for six months and now the hero really gives himself a chance to look at the old people and kids closely and is moved by their innocence...becomes an informed man...becomes a real man...so far he was only looking at company's productivity...he begins to think from heart...financially too, the company does just as well or better...he realizes that conquering ego is the real victory...blah...blah... ilaantidi edannaa plot mana telugu nativity ki daggaragaa alochinchu...

Thanks mottam undi... nenu raka rakaala softwares vaadina tarvaata sony vegas suite(comes with DVD architect) ki settle ayyaanu...I loved it... books ante woody allen editor peru gurtu ledu...atanu raasina book chadivaanu...it gave me basic knowledge...he talks about odessa steps from eisenstein's 'battleship potemkin' etc... One book is enough to get the jargon...while watching the films, observe where the cut is...what motivates that cut...if you are a natural film lover this should have become second nature to you by now...try not to watch the films edited by the likes of Marthand K Venkatesh... If you get a chance, try observing editing in british films.... European films usually have fewer cuts and shots are usually long with takes of intricate camera choreography...these won;t be of much help to learn editing... The meaning of editing has changed a lot over the years... Cinema for the larger audiences can not be poetic--Andrei Tarkovysky | ||

here's the whole post that i saved...not sure if i missed anything or not.. 1) The screenwriting software I use is Sophocles, named after the greek dramatist Sophocles . The site is down right now, so I am giving you the alternative link here. http://www.zdnetasia.com/downloads/pc/swinfo/0,39043052,3900 2280,50001288r-39055630s,00.htm 2) Why I use Sophocles: Way back in 2000 I wrote with moviemagic and I didn't like for reasons such as...it puts down eye distracting 'continued' in paranthesis and it's expensive. With Sophocles, even after trail expiry, it doesn't put 'TRIAL' on the soft copy...only when you take a printout it shows those words...I cracked a work around for this. You get 'Casablanca' script as a sample script with this software. Open the casablanca script in one window and open your script in another...copy and paste your script to casablanca script and then you can do the following then. a) You can take a printout with out big TRIAL letters on the page, even after trial expiry b) You can convert your script to formats like rtf, pdf etc... Also, there are couple of templates of format with this software... Simple to use: for example...one tab sends the word to character place and 'control I' gives INT. slug line 3) About help on writing itself: There are lot of books out there in the market, almost all of them are junk...the gems from this rubbish in the order of 'worth the time' are... a) 'Story' by Robert Mckee b) 'Power Structure Screenwriting' by michael Chase Walker c) 'The art of Dramatic Writing' by Lajos Egri d) 'Rebel with out a crew' by Robert Rodriguez (not lot of use...it's more inspirational to a director than a writer...one tip he gave was very useful...for El Mariachi, he was short on story by a few pages, so what he did is if there is a scene where the hero visited a club, he made the hero visit the club 3 times, each time with a different scene value and for different purpose...) I didn't find the following touted gurus' works useful at all: a) Sydfield books, including his now famous 'Screenplay' b) John Truby released a book--he issists on fititng the material to a genre with out telling how... c) 'The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers' by Christopher Vogler (This is modelled on famous mythologist Joseph Campbell's 'A hero with thousand faces'...actually Johan Jarvis created a software named Storycraft which is more useful than Vogler's book...Joseph Campbell became famous among screen writers after George Lucas revealed that his writing steps for 'Star Wars' were actually the phases mentioned by Campbell after he compared stories and events from various mythologies, including oriental...) Wait a second...Yandamuri's 'Popular rachanalu cheyadam elaa?' ane book undi, adi manchi book...teluguone lo kuudaa undi, adi chaduvu, it's useful... I did not like Stephen King's book on writing...great writers may not be able to tell you how to write a great drama...writing is one thing, and 'writing instruction' is a completely different entity... | ||

For those looking for Dharkaar's idea on which we are commenting...here is the thread of the original idea by Dharkaar http://www.chalanachithram.com/discus/messages/125/26860.htm l
asalu woman's character add cheyyakundaa...unna muudu characters lo oka character ni aada character cheste... 1) Love story: idi possible kaadu endukante challenged and the challenger ki madhya age gap untadi...they can only have platonic love and not the love we see in our films.... 2) If we make the young character a woman: then it's a woman's film, where in the old character and kid are of secondary importance...feminist angle kaasepu pakkana pedite, enta varaku aada character ni main character gaa janam chuustaaru anedi questionable?? 3) if we make the old character a woman: this is possible, but I am not sure how dharkaar wants the traits of this character to be... Also, if we look at the 3 characters dharkaar wrote---all of are them good and likeable characters, then where is the conflict??? since there are no villains, the force that stops the main character from achieving what he is attempting at should be brought about by natural circumstance the hero is in....nature should be the villain (it can be a disease or it can be a financial condition blah...blah...)...it should be cleverly chosen to prove the premise... I think we need to give dharkaar more time to sketch the characters properly... Cinema for the larger audiences can not be poetic--Andrei Tarkovysky | ||

kkd, rebel,baba, coke...thanks for appreciation.... Dharkaar, It's not that I am in a better position to give you advice, as I am also struggling every time trying to write a scene or figuring out the story...still a few words of encouragement for you...final gaa ee kinda points lo inkaa clarity unte, there is a better chance to make it to production level: I know that you have flair for writing... Another way of testing the subject is to write it and see how long you can hold interest to it...if you feel you are not dying to tell the story, then drop the idea...but for now let the idea brew in your mind... Don't try to think at the scene level at this point(I made this mistake so many times and shelved couple of them and in the process wasted 2 years), because if you do so, after a while you will be trying to figure out the story at which point you will be too confused to architect the story... have clarity on the following points and write a scenic outline, have at least 60 scenes, and then at that point you will an idea whether you really have a message you are dying to convey and a story to elaborate for 2 and half or two hours 1) Clarity about premise--idi baagaa alochinchu...asalu jeevitame goppadi, life in itself is a bliss... ane premise--elaa vuntado alochinchu... 2) Can we bring in a woman's character? the reason I am suggesting this is because this is not in a thriller or horror genre, in which case woman's character is not necessary, but a 'coming of age' story. A woman's character can add a dimension to the story and also will help for better universal appeal... 3) How can you fit your material in to a plot...so the audience can follow what's happening? 4) conflict and rising the stakes for the protagonist...

The answer to this question lies in how you make this journey for the young character, a do or die situation, rather a high stakes' conflict...if you don;t make it this way, the audience feel...'sare challenge chesaadu , ayitye enti' antaadu...ade nuvvu kadha lo challenge chesaadu, challenge prove cheyyaka pote...aa prize money raadu, aa money inkoka family member ni bratikinchadaaniki kaavali (oka crude example ichchaa...to rise the stakes) ani munde cheppaavanuko...appudu audience ki vaadu gelustaadaa...ledaa...ane interest....geliste baagundu ani...young character to empathy...'root for the character'...kalugutaayi... Lagaan is not just about cricket contest...a loss in the match means 'dugunaa lagaan'...Gowariker chooses the double tax as way to rise the stakes for the hero and his team...in fact the stakes are further rised by applying this to the whole province of champaneer... Lagaan would have been a dud with out the double tax for champaneer... Think about how you can make the stakes high for the protogonist(make one of the a hero) in your story...
