My professor took off a point from one of my scripts because I labelled a character as Nonbinary, and he claims I should've left the gender description blank because "it's not necessary for this character", as if "nonbinary" is a placeholder for "I don't care what gender" I am actually going to tear him to shreds

Script Development Workshops

I think I got sick of not making movies, so I’ve given Action On The Side a kick up the rear! I’ve scheduled two projects this year: June and October. I’ve started running fortnightly script development workshops again. They’re running at the Curzon Soho bar* on Wednesdays, 18:30-20:30. The next one is on 26th April. Registrations are on the AOTS website. Participants need to sign up, so I…

Guest Speaker in #Panama Between February 27 and March 3, I traveled to the Republic of Panama at the invitation of the Minister of Culture @miculturapma Giselle González Villarué @gisygonzalez , and the National Director of Panama's Film Commission (DICINE), Sheila González @sheiling23 . The objective of my visit was to introduce a new generation of filmmakers in the #art of #scriptwriting and to share my recent research on the use of #cinematography tools to analyze and interpret #chiaroscuro effects in #painting with a lecture called Imaginary Shadows. The scriptwriting #workshop focused on understanding and analyzing #narrative structure, character creation, narrative functions, format, copyright, and pitch, providing a conceptual and organizational framework to begin writing a #screenplay. The workshop was attended by recent #film graduates and other visual arts professionals interested in the area. Imaginary Shadows, my most recent research project, focuses on Caravaggio's work from the Cinematographer's perspective. In my process, I use filmmaker's tools and concepts such as framing, mise-en-scene, color space, color bit-depth and linear and logarithmic gammas, to analyze Caravaggio's paintings and use my findings in the film set. I shared this research with film, photo, and studio arts students from Ganexa Art University @uganexa and the Metropolitan University (UMECIT) @umecit Finally, I had an exciting coaching session with Andres Alveo, Coordinator of the Mobile Short Film Workshop on Film and Ecology, a youth-oriented workshop sponsored by the National Film Office and the Minister of Culture. We discussed teaching strategies, learning outcomes and class format to strengthen the learning experience of a new generation of filmmakers. Thank you to the Minister of Culture of Panama, Giselle González Villarué, Sheila González, National Director of Panama's Film Commission (DICINE) and the beautiful people of Panama for the warm welcome and the outstanding opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with you all. #supportindiefilm https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpi3GQaOoxX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[writingquestionsanswered]

hello, since I've started wanting to make a comic series on my own over a year ago, your blog has been of great help to me since I'm more of a drawer than a writer. Though I've come to realize that the medium of comics may not always work with the advice you usually give for the medium of books/novels. So I was wondering if you had any advice for writing comics, and if not, do you happen to know any blogs that do or that specialize in writing for comics?

Thank You!

Books for Writing Comics

I'm so glad you've found the blog to be helpful. While there's some advice that certainly works across formats, there's a lot that doesn't, too.

Unfortunately, I've never written comics so I can't tell you anything about how to write them. What I can do is tell you that when similar questions have come up in the past, people have recommended the following books:

Stan Lee's How to Write Comics Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud Making Comics by Scott McCloud Comics and Sequential Art by Will Eisner Alan Moore's Writing For Comics The Art of Comic Book Writing by Mark Kneece Writers on Comics Scriptwriting Words for Pictures by Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada

Also, Comics Experience, Udemy, NYFA, and other sites offer comic writing classes and workshops.

I hope that helps!

★ Main Story | Act 13 - Budding Spring | Chapter 20 - Trial & Error

Tsuzuru: Good morning.

Young Man: Good morning.

Tsuzuru: (I mean, this thing is aimed at younger scriptwriters, so I guess it makes sense that there’s a bunch of 20-somethings here.)

Tsuzuru: (Well, but none of them seem like they’re college students, so maybe I’m the youngest one here…)

Madoka: Ah--.

Tsuzuru: Huh!? You’re participating in this training camp too, Madoka?

Madoka: Kamikizaka-san introduced me to it. So you’re here too, Minagi-san.

Tsuzuru: It’s nice to see a familiar face. Glad to be working with you.

Madoka: Likewise.

???: Alright, let’s get things started.

???: Once again, I look forward to working with you all for the next two weeks starting today. Let’s start with self-introductions first.

Akazaki: I’ll get us started--I’m Akazaki, director and playwright. I also run a theater company called “Hako”.

Akazaki: I started doing this scriptwriting training camp ten years ago.

Akazaki: The core idea of this camp is that young scriptwriters can learn a lot by thinking about scripts from the point of view of a director.

Akazaki: This workshop is a place for young scriptwriters to interact with each other, so let’s all work together with a little friendly competition. I look forward to seeing your work.

Akazaki: Alright, your turn.

Tsuzuru: I’m Tsuzuru Minagi, actor and in-house scriptwriter at a theater company called MANKAI Company. I’m glad to be here!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: To start, I want you to come up with sixty plot ideas with the theme of “theater”. Your time limit is one hour.

Tsuzuru: Si…!?

Madoka: Sixty…

Akazaki: Each of your ideas should be conveyed in 100 characters or less. Alright, your time starts now.

Tsuzuru: --Gh.

Tsuzuru: (We’re being thrown off the deep end right off the bat. So the theme is “theater” huh… And I need to turn that into an entire plot--.)

Tsuzuru: (Nope, no time to dwell on it. I’ve got an hour to come up with sixty of these, so I’ve gotta crank out a plot a minute… Everyone else has already gotten going on it, so I’ve just gotta give it my best shot.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: Alright, time’s up. That should’ve been a good brain exercise.

Akazaki: Okay, now, take the plot ideas you just wrote out and swap them with someone.

Tsuzuru: (Swap them…?)

Akazaki: Everyone have someone else’s ideas? Then go ahead and pick three of the ideas you think would be interesting to see.

Tsuzuru: (Someone else’s…!? Wait, no way, does that mean I don’t get to pick what I’m going to write about…?)

Akazaki: Once you’ve picked them, return the paper to its original owner.

Akazaki: Once you have your paper back, pick one idea from those three. You then have one hour to put a full plot together.

Madoka: Um, here’s yours, Minagi-san.

Tsuzuru: Ah, right. You’re the one who picked for me? Thanks, Madoka.

Tsuzuru: (T-These are the three he picked!? I never would’ve chosen those myself. But, I guess they are pretty Madoka-like choices.)

Tsuzuru: (Whatever, I’ve got an hour to pull together a plot. I guess I’ll go with this one since it seems like the easiest one to flesh out…)

Tsuzuru: (God, who even comes up with an idea like this…? Well, me with a time limit, apparently…)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: Hmm, I see…

Akazaki: I can tell that you were trying to keep things in your comfort zone and there are places where it’s obvious that you were running out of time.

Tsuzuru: Ah… right.

Akazaki: But it’s important to have your comfort zone, and I can tell you that it was kind of unlucky that you had to be dragged out of it for this.

Akazaki: I know it’s natural to want to use your usual style or follow your same techniques, but if you make an effort to throw in new things every once in a while, you can throw a few more tools in your toolbox for you to use later on.

Akazaki: Sometimes you need to be confronted with a more forceful approach like this, that way you can learn to take hits like this more easily.

Tsuzuru: Yeah, I know that already…

Tsuzuru: (It’s important to be able to stand my ground, but that doesn’t mean I can be defensive all the time…)

Akazaki: By the way, why did you decide to come to this training camp, MInagi-kun?

Akazaki: With an in-house position, you’ve got a stable place to write, so is there really a need for you to venture into the outside world?

Tsuzuru: I may have a stable place to write, but I’m always wondering how I can grow more. For my own sake, and for my troupe’s sake.

Akazaki: I see. Well, I think having that kind of greed is a good thing.

Akazaki: This training camp is a workout for your brain, like a real athletic event, so try not to burn yourself out.

Tsuzuru: Right, an athletic event… I was already kinda getting that feeling.

Akazaki: So, that said, why don’t you try and fix this thing starting from the beginning?

Tsuzuru: --U-Understood.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: Aghhh… I’m exhausted…

Tsuzuru: (My brain is fried… I never want to write a single hiragana, kanji, or any other character ever again…)

Madoka: Good work.

Tsuzuru: You still seem pretty lively, Madoka.

Madoka: Do I…? Maybe it’s because I’m used to writing a lot quickly.

Madoka: In the past, my father used to make me do a lot of sudden script revisions, so…

Tsuzuru: That must’ve sucked…

Tsuzuru: But I see… I don’t have a whole lot of experience with having to make revisions like that.

Madoka: I don’t know whether I can say it was a good experience or not, but… I feel like it gave me some more strength for things like this.

Tsuzuru: You sure are resilient…

Madoka: Some of the other participants seemed to be pretty used to writing a lot. It’s probably because a lot of them have experience writing for a lot of different things.

Tsuzuru: That’s true. They did give off the vibe of pros who write scripts for a living.

Tsuzuru: (I’m still just an inexperienced student. The only experience I’ve had writing outside of the company was with Otomiya-san…)

Tsuzuru: I’ll just take all of this as I sign that I still have room to grow.

Madoka: I still have a lot to learn to aim for the new Fleur Award, so… Let’s both do our best.

Tsuzuru: Yeah.

Tsuzuru: (Madoka’s also trying to grow as a scriptwriter for GOD-za. I need to get fired up like that again too.)

Madoka: Well then, good night. See you tomorrow.

Tsuzuru: G’night.

Tsuzuru: (The thing with the way I write scripts is that I just do the same thing I always have, but it’s still kinda refreshing to learn more about how other people write them.)

Tsuzuru: (I’ve really used up all my braincells, but it’s pretty interesting experiencing a new world like this.)

Tsuzuru: (Oh, right, I should check in on the group chat before I sleep…)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

tsuzuru has entered the chat.

Curry: thanks for the suit

TorORo: you hAveb tkaen your Firstn stepn into becominf a busineeSsman! (1)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: (I’ve got no clue what Citron-san is trying to say, but what else is new… And what kinda name is “TorORo”…)

Tsuzuru: (…I feel like I could write up some material for Citrun with that.)

Tsuzuru: (Can’t believe I felt like I couldn’t even write another character a moment ago. I’ll just jot down some quick notes before I sleep.)

T/N:

(1) Citron’s name in the chat is “都呂々” (Tororo) which is just the name of a town in Japan. I think what he was probably going for was to have his name as “トロロ” (Tororo, just in katakana) as like, a play on his name? Because like, シトロン (ShiTOROn) so it’s like taking the “トロ” (Toro) part of his name and turning it into “Tororo” as a nickname. I decided to translate it as “TorORo” because like, “都呂々” has the pronunciation he was probably going for, it’s just not quite the right way to write it, so I figured the best way to convey that was through weird capitalization as opposed to it being misspelled.

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 13: Budding Spring - Episode 20: Trial & Error

Tsuzuru: Good morning.

Young man: Good morning.

Tsuzuru: (This really is directed towards young scriptwriters. There’s a lot of people who look like they’re in their 20s.)

Tsuzuru: (But, well, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else who could be a college student. I might be the youngest here…)

Madoka: Oh—

Tsuzuru: Oh!? You’re participating in this camp too, Madoka?

Madoka: Kamikizaka-san recommended it to me. So you’re here too, Minagi-san.

Tsuzuru: Having someone I know here is reassuring. I’m looking forward to it.

Madoka: Likewise.

???: Well then, I think it’s about time we get started.

???: Once more, I look forward to working with you for the next two weeks. I suppose we should start with self introductions.

Akazaki: Starting from me. I’m Akazaki, and I’m a director and scriptwriter. I’m also the owner of a theater company called “Hako”.

Akazaki: I first held this scriptwriting camp 10 years ago.

Akazaki: The idea behind it is that young scriptwriters can learn more about their trade by thinking about it from a director’s perspective.

Akazaki: This is intended to be both a workshop and a place where young scriptwriters can interact with one another. Let’s all work together in a friendly manner. 

Akazaki: Let’s continue with you.

Tsuzuru: I’m Tsuzuru Minagi. I work as both an actor and a scriptwriter in a theater company called MANKAI Company, I look forward to working with you!

-

Akazaki: First, please come up with 60 story prompts with the theme “theater”. Your time limit is one hour.

Tsuzuru: Six--…!?

Madoka: 60…

Akazaki: You can use up to 100 characters for each idea. And, start.

Tsuzuru: — *gulp*

Tsuzuru: (He’s throwing us in at the deep end from the beginning… The theme is “theater”, huh… If I have to write them into a complete plot afterward, then–)

Tsuzuru: (No, I don’t have time to think about that. 60 prompts in an hour means one prompt every minute. Everyone else has already started, so I just need to get there.)

-

Akazaki: Okay, it’s over. That was a good brain workout, wasn’t it?

Akazaki: Now, please shuffle the papers you wrote on.

Tsuzuru: (Shuffle…?)

Akazaki: Does everyone have someone else’s prompts? Now, please pick three that seem interesting to you.

Tsuzuru: (Someone else’s…!? Does that mean I can’t pick what I’m going to write…?)

Akazaki: After you’ve picked, please return the paper to its original owner.

Akazaki: Once you get yours back, pick one of the three prompts that were chosen and develop a plot for it.

Madoka: Um, this is yours, isn’t it, Minagi-san?

Tsuzuru: Ah, yeah. You chose it? Thanks, Madoka.

Tsuzuru: (Th-Those 3! I’d have never picked them myself. But, they’re pretty Madoka-like choices.)

Tsuzuru: (Anyway, I’ve got an hour to whip up a plot. I think this one’s the easiest to develop…)

Tsuzuru: (Who even comes up with such ideas… This is what being cornered by a time limit does to you…)

-

Akazaki: Mhmm, I see…

Akazaki: It looks like you were trying to somehow bring it to your comfort zone, and the point where you started running out of time is pretty obvious.

Tsuzuru: Ah… Yeah.

Akazaki: Having a field you’re comfortable with is important, so it was just bad luck what you had to work with was outside of it.

Akazaki: Whether you want to or not also makes it easier to slip back into what you’re familiar with. If you consciously weave in new things, your repertoire will broaden, and you’ll be able to make use of them later.

Akazaki: If you approach your work like that once in a while, you’ll be able to understand what you’re having trouble with better.

Tsuzuru: I, yeah, I get it.

Tsuzuru: It’s important to keep one’s roots close, but not be restricted by them.

Akazaki: Putting that aside, why did you decide to participate in this camp, Minagi-kun?

Akazaki: You have a stable writing job in a specific theater, you most likely won’t ever need to leave it.

Tsuzuru: I thought if I just stayed in a stable environment, I wouldn’t be able to grow. This isn’t only for myself, but also for my company.

Akazaki: I see. I think that kind of desire is a good thing to have.

Akazaki: This camp is like an athletic event for the brain, make sure you don’t get exhausted.

Tsuzuru: Ah, an athletic event… That’s really how it felt, somehow.

Akazaki: Since we’ve cleared that up, how about you try fixing this from the beginning?

Tsuzuru: Y-Yes sir.

-

Tsuzuru: Haaah… I’m so tired…

Tsuzuru: (I don’t wanna use my brain cells anymore… I don’t wanna write any more hiragana or kanji or any other character…)

Madoka: Good work.

Tsuzuru: You, on the other hand, look pretty chipper, Madoka.

Madoka: You think so…? That might be because I’m already used to writing a lot of things quickly.

Madoka: In the past, my father often asked me to make numerous revisions to a script out of the blue…

Tsuzuru: That must’ve been a hard time…

Tsuzuru: But, I see… I'm not as experienced with retakes, in that sense.

Madoka: Although I can’t say I’m glad for the experience, I feel like it did give me the strength I needed.

Tsuzuru: You’re so strong…

Madoka: The other participants also seemed like they’re used to writing a lot, probably because they write for various places.

Tsuzuru: They did give off the feel of professionals that make a living by writing scripts.

Tsuzuru: (I’m still a student, and the only experience I have writing externally is that one time for Otomiya-san, so I’m definitely lacking in that aspect…)

Tsuzuru: I’ve still got room for improvement, so I’ll do my best.

Madoka: I also have lots to study for the New Fleur Award… Let’s both do our best.

Tsuzuru: Yeah.

Tsuzuru: (Madoka’s also looking to improve as GOD-za’s scriptwriter. I also gotta get in gear.)

Madoka: Well then, good night. See you tomorrow.

Tsuzuru: Good night.

Tsuzuru: (Even though I’m writing scripts like usual, learning how others do it is refreshing.)

Tsuzuru: (Using my brain so much is exhausting, but the feeling of finding myself in a new world is fun.)

Tsuzuru: (Oh, yeah, I should check the chat before I sleep…)

tsuzuru has entered the chat Curry: thanks for the suits To Rorr (1): this is you’re first step into being a bizzle man!

Tsuzuru: (As usual, I have no idea what Citron-san is trying to say. And his name is To Rorr...)

Tsuzuru: (I feel like I should say something to him…) 

Tsuzuru: (Just a moment ago I felt like I couldn’t write a single letter, but … I’ll jot down some notes and then go to sleep.)

previous episode | masterpost | next episode

NOTES:

(1) citron's username (to rorr), is written as 都呂々 and read as tororo. it's actually a place in japan in the town of reihoku in the kumamoto prefecture that i can't seem to find any proper information about; but i wanted to find a way to emphasize that that's probably not what citron had in mind when he typed tororo, hence the space and typo instead

[ryo-maybe]

This isn't even character assassination anymore it's a narrative slaughterhouse. This is the kind of slop that gets you laughed out of a scriptwriting workshop

[yunyunbby]

So like I guess Tsukasa is both a realist and an idealist. He has both traits that are at the opposite spectrum

Tsukasa is an idealist because he wants to be a world future star. Which is a big dream for his age. There is also his scriptwriting that is mostly consider as out of this world and more fantasy focus. So he has a very wild imagination going on with him. Then there is his sekai, full of things that are unrealistic such talking plushies, pink clouds, flying train and more.

But Tsukasa is also a realist. He knew he still has to do a lot things to do before he can reach his dream. Ever since pop in my heart event Tsukasa has been more aware of his lack of acting skills and since then he has been working very hard to improve himself. Such as playing Torpe, a character that is opposite to him and going to the workshop to improve his acting.

So for Tsukasa, the bigger the dream the more effort he will make to improve himself. He wants to make the impossible to possible. Which mean he does the double amount of work than normal because of his dream.

still continuing my shakespeare journey - got halfway thru love's labour's lost 1975 but have sadly comprehended none of it so may have to restart it in another format/version.

the thing with shakespeare is that its so much better to be able to see/listen to his works since they were meant to be performed, but if you come across a lesser performance then it can really negatively tinge a piece you would have otherwise liked. conversely a superb performance can really put you on to a play you otherwise would have been lukewarm about.

and for these reasons, along with my gen z attention span, genetic adhd, & struggling sometimes with older british dialects & EME (even though i've taken classes on historical english linguistics, shakespearean studies, and renaissance literature, & have immersed myself in classic anglo lit for years, & am a native english speaker albeit an american, etc.) — my shakespeare journey has been more bumpy than expected.

but i hope it will be worth it in the end, and that by studying his work i'll improve my overall writing/reading abilities, particularly when it comes to poetry & scriptwriting, but also storytelling in general. and this, not by mere passive absorption (which i have to combat the urge toward), but by active studying, & seeking to discover what it is that has given his works their legacies in the canon, for whatever it be worth. i think tradition has its place. i believe in learning from the greats, and i agree with that quote about how one must know the rules before they can successfully break them - & would add that too many attempt to break without knowing.

i've been casually watching the famous "working shakespeare" acting workshop series wherein they assess the language. there are exercises dor actors re: script analysis, understanding the diction, etc - & i've been practicing some of that to build my grasp on language in general. some actors like samuel l jackson, toby stephens, robert sean leonard, victor garber, claire danes, blyth danner, etc. are in it - its on youtube. i'm also going to look into playing shakespeare, acting shakespeare), shakespeare in italy, and looking for richard. these are all famous films/documentaries about understanding shakespeare & his works.

it can be so overhwelming to dive into shakespeare, as i previously mentioned - but the relieving part is the wealth of information which exists to aid in the experience. i knew an actress (we did a play partly about shakespeare, lol) who had said that she found a copy of shakespeare for dummies to be really helpful, undignified title aside lmao. there are so many databases & websites & books & all freely accessible online. the sad thing is that some of the live performances are really hard to find, but that's an issue with theatre overall.

but my university's digital library (even though i graduated, i still have access) has a lot of databases including some shakespearen-centric, national theatre, & royal shakespeare theatre stuff. so if any of you are uni students or alumni i recommend you to use your lib databases to find whatever learning resources you can - you already paid for it all with your tuition money anyway!

OKAY THAT'S IT

I dreamt I attended some sort of workshop. I was paired with (UNSPEAKABLE NAME) for some sort of scriptwriting course. (REDACTED) turned out to be this hard to please git who won't share his secrets and demanded that the script I made for him be flawless. I ended up just taking notes for the first day and watched in envy as my classmate was able to create a draft with her muse/partner in like 5 minutes while my own dumbass partner was nowhere to be found! I was having a headache trying to build a story for that bastard!

Then I woke up.

Actually the manga plagiarism plotline reminds me of something that happened at my University in the film department. For junior year production workshop you get put into groups and given a script that you have to then go and make in only 12 weeks. And the scripts are usually selected from one of the scriptwriting classes so they are also student submitted.

Well one year one of the groups made a really good film that they were really proud of and were planning on submitting to festivals and everything. But then one day one of the underclassmen who helped out on the film was watching through Sundance shorts only to discover one short film that was almost identical- script wise- to the film the junior film class had made. As it turns out the student who originally "wrote" the script for their scriptwriting class AND THEN AGREED TO LET IT BE USED FOR THE JUNIOR PRODUCTION CLASS had completely plagiarized the script from a Sundance short film. Thankfully the plagiarism had been discovered before the Junior production team had submitted the film to other film festivals (where someone almost certainly would have recognized the similarities) because their careers could have been RUINED. I think the scriptwriting student got kicked out of the University.

hiiiii 31 and 46 for the fic writer ask game <3

31. Do you start with the characters or the plot when writing?

Oh I am definitely a Character first type of person. I live and breathe character creation so much I've put in 10 hours in Baldurs Gate 3 and still haven't gotten past the character creation screen yet.

I love thinking about character ideas and playing with concepts. For my DnD group, our main DM regularly gives me challenges because he likes to see what I come up with. Last game he asked me to make a paladin that would surprise him. So I made an Oath of Watchers Paladin who was absolutely Not the party babysitter and in fact caused more trouble than most of the party combined as well as willingly let her brother kill a defenseless person (which did not violate any oaths btw). She was a bimbo who loved violence and I loved her. This game he wanted a non-magic class so I made a killing-averse rogue who is somehow the face of the party. We'll see how that goes.

I also taught character development specifically for 6 years at a ren faire. I've done lectures, classes, workshops, and etc all over and am always 100000% down to talk about characters, concepts, and character crafting theory.

46. How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)

My style is a mishmash of all the different types of writing I've done in my life. I spent time as a journalist, a marketer, an English lit major, scriptwriter, and an actor.

From that, I tend to keep VERY short paragraphs, with an emphasis on flow and pacing based on how reading something out loud would sound. I weaponize dialogue to pit characters together. I'm trained in weapon fighting and thus writing action flows pretty smoothly for me because I watch it play out in my head. And throughout I find the heart of the character or story and find ways to sneak in the more poetic turn of phrases.

So an eclectic style for sure.

Scriptwriting Workshop Props and Interior Design

Preproduction work from a group project with Anna Prevost and Veronika Pasynkova.

November 2023

[poignardeparlebeau]

the hardest thing about being in a scriptwriting workshop with actual professionals is not being able to talk to them about the old woman yuri and old man yaoi potential of their stories
