Why Movies Don't Feel Alive Anymore

Why Movies Don't Feel Alive Anymore

A Screenplay can be fun to read and still make for a terrible movie. Why do so many modern movies and TV shows feel less engaging than they used to?One reason may be that screenplays are increasingly judged by how enjoyable they are to read, instead of how powerful they could be when performed.A screenplay is not a novel. It is not prose fiction. It is intended to inspire actors, directors, editors, designers, composers, and the entire collaborative process of film and television.In this video, I talk about how modern day script-readers may be pushing writers toward creating scripts that are pleasing on the page, but dramatically weaker on screen, especially when it comes to dialogue.A fun read does not always equal a good movie.And sometimes the script that feels plain on the page is the one that comes alive when actors finally put it up on its feet.Support StoryRay: $OmegaConquest [https://cash.app/$OmegaConquest]More from StoryRay.com [https://storyray.com] #Screenwriting #Filmmaking #ScriptReader #StoryRay #MovieWriting #TVWriting #Dialogue #FilmCriticism
