How To Read Screenwriting
Screenwriting

Haven't written a new script in over two years. I've been distracted by writing novels and publishing on Amazon. Still enjoy learning more about it. Next to songwriting, it is the most demanding with the highest pay per written word. Learned that from a speaker at our writer's conference once.

Enjoying the presenters on the GenreSummit.com, today being the fourth day. Listen to webinars instead of music sometimes, while working. Wrote another 1500+ words on Wild Violets today, makes nearly 16,000 during camp and brings the book total to about 45,000. Too slow, but forward.

Only listened to one session tonight, Marc Manus, a literary manager to screenwriters and agents. His advice was brutally honest. To succeed, you have

Not certain sometimes how artistic are my endeavors, but the desire is there to create something that will resonate with others and be memorable.

When the world is full of terror and strife and the soldiers of Satan are busy plowing through carefree crowds, one needs to escape to a different kind of world. Makes one remember how important artists, musicians, and writers are.

Happy Birthday Gustav Klimt

Twitter was full of tweets about this artist tonight. Born 154 years ago, the Austrian symbolist painter was banned early in his life for his erotic depictions of women which were called pornographic. Not sure, see so much worse on television these days, difficult to be shocked by a bare breast when it's part of a Super Bowl half-time game.

Think most of his images are incredibly beautiful, and love the way he captures the emotion of love and family. It's a transient and difficult thing to capture, and its still shimmering there in his pictures to see and feel. Notice his work is still for sale on hundreds of sites. When you're still being shared, criticized, and adored after all these years, you've done something pretty

    Other people heel by music and arts. For example, in the article “Arts are important as hospital”. Chorn Pod lived in a trauma. He was separate from his family; he was forced to do many things. “music is the reason I’m alive today” (2). In 1975, he was separated from his family because of the murder that befell 80-90 %of the county artists and musicians, including his parents, who run out a group of opera. He was forced to learn to play the flute to make propaganda songs that the regime would blast from speakers to dull the scream of victims as they were tortured and kill. “I was forced to witness a lot of killing, three or four times a day” said Chron Pod. “I played my flute for American kids and saw the power of music.” (2) Other people…

    What terror has been brought upon you, my family? My most precious musical scores. Within those bars and staffs lay further profound melodies and blissful stories, with crescendos and rising chromatics presenting the climaxes and memorable flashbacks. How careless could I be? But of course, who would harm Keller’s wife and child? I pace my elderly, punctured body and soul towards the Swan. Tears streamline down the saturated face of a person so famous masked by someone so blind and ignorant. And now my consequences have rightfully found their place, forcing me to become invisible to the world. I am like a continuous, endless rest in a piece, after a contrast from mezzo forte to sforzando arpeggiated chords climbing up the piano. I was a maestro, known by all, forced to disappear within the thin air of Vienna and to reappear in the humid, alien land of booze and blow.…

    More often than not, it shows a solitary figure, an attractive man in his 20s, enacting a scene from an old-master painting. Dressed in contemporary garb — a hooded sweatshirt, perhaps, or a Denver Broncos jersey — the man might be crossing the Swiss Alps on horseback with the brio of Napoleon or glancing upward, prophet-style, golden light encircling his head.In layman’s terms, his art is a skilled remix. He rearranges racial power dynamics, conceptions of beauty, gender, and “the gaze.” It makes us think about pop iconography and the history of portraiture” Deborah, S (2015, January 28) Kehinde Wiley Puts a Classical Spin on His Contemporary Subjects The New York…

    The short story “Sonny Blues” express the benefits and life of an artist. An artist has the responsibility of catering to the people and making sure that they connect to your art piece. In Sonny’s story we learn how individuals connect to a musician. Sonny expressed his life story through his music, the audience relates to the music and an emotion is triggered in them, and at the end you experience hope because the music provided the light at the end of the dark tunnel that an individual is experiencing throughout…

    When a work transcends into art, it surpasses its cultural restraints and touches us. We are moved; we are transported to a new place that is, nevertheless, strongly rooted in a physical experience, in our bodies. When we focus on works such as Van Gogh’s “Old Man in Sorrow” or Velazquez’s “Christ Crucified” rather than “The Scream” or “Campbell’s Soup Cans”, we become aware of a feeling that may not be unfamiliar to us but which we did not actively focus on before. Unlike popular culture, this transformative experience is what art is constantly seeking. The emotions invoked from a reading of Yeats or Frost pulls the strings of our conscience and heart and most importantly, they inspire and motivate us to change ourselves and/or the world around us. No amount of Meyer or Collins can bring forth the willingness to examine and investigate our lives or the lives of others. The felt feeling of art spurs thinking, engagement, and even action. Only art alone helps people get to know and understand something with their minds and feel it emotionally and physically. By doing this, art can mitigate the almost numbing effect created by modern pop culture and society and motivate people to start thinking and doing.…

    It is seldom easy to say simply what the creative process is. Creativity goes beyond the abstract motion, and the conventional gestures to include a sophisticated state of mind. Although it seems that the tools itself is at work sometimes, sketching, carving, or modeling it is usually something deeper down in our subconscious that controls it. Thus, it is essential that we begin to look at creativity with new eyes, and broader thoughts, and then use this creativity wisely instead of imprisoning it. We are to embrace the beauties and the flaws of our creativity and make something poetic out of it. We are to learn and to reflect on all the different aspects of this work.…

    A writer is what I aspire to be. You know when you're a kid and most of the other kids say they want to be a artist or an astronaut,but I wanted to be an author. I assumed this just because I had quality English grades and I had a strong interest in reading, but as I got older I found the power of words to be the best way to express myself. I learned to create stories that help people see things differently, that bring new ideas to my readers. Later I started to look back at the authors that changed my life, children’s authors such as Jan brett, and Kate Dicamillo taught me how to use creativity as a superpower.…

    The Human Experience

    • 419 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The art work that stands out most to me is one that portrays a young boy as a soldier in the US Army. The human experience from this could be expressed as one of many, love, loss, pain, hope, despair, values, beliefs and as we hope not but even death. I think the artist had love, loss and pain in mind with the painting. This is meaningful to my life because I feel that this is a portrait of myself as a young boy. I joined the US Army at seventeen, finished my basic training, school house training and was shipped off to Iraq with my unit before I was even close to being eighteen. I believed in what I was doing, I lost a lot of family and some really great friends in that war. I too had a picture taken with my uniform and full battle rattle, as we called the bullet proof vest, on. In that picture I was all smiles but honestly I was extremely scared and felt almost alone. This picture shows a young man with the same uniform on smiling. It really takes me back in time and allows me to see what war did to the once innocent young smiling boy that I was. I still to this day believe in all I have done, know that somewhere in there I have done them for the right and values of America but still it bothers me now. It also makes me fear for the young boy in the picture, fear for the outcome that will happen.…

    Since I was old enough to hold a crayon, I have wanted to be an artist. The desire to create has grown exponentially with time, and so I attended the University of Iowa to expand my creative capabilities and learn from the work of experienced faculty and other students. Through my studies, I quickly learned a traditional fine arts education focused on technique. However, I learned the strength of my art resided in the conceptualization of my own story and emotions…
