MY SCREENPLAYS
To
write a movie script – once one has learnt the tricks of
the trade – it is definitely easier than writing a novel/short story.
It is nothing other than a movie subject comprising the description of each
setting and dialogues. The simplification lies in the fact that it is mainly the
cold description of facts incapable of arousing emotions in he who isn’t an
insider. There are, however, very different styles of writing movie scripts. It’s not compulsory (as I have done in ‘Manic Depression’) to describe the movements of the machine, meaning every single operation to be made with the movie camera. This happens only because the writer – I think that it is so for many – seeing his setting on paper, one is struck by the desire to realise them and thus makes up for the frustration of not being able to do it (it is obvious that to set up a movie it is more economically onerous than to write a book!).
