clickable script


int. window - day

she was staring out of the window. her name was emily.

of course, we know nothing about emily, except i think that actually was the name of the girl in my story.
there's this strange emptiness, though, to making things be clickable - somehow - it isn't that satisfying - i did find this one wonderful photograph, though - in fact, i'd rather upload it as a photograph -
who was it was telling me about uploading and image and having people comment on it - oh that bizarre site patrick was telling me about -
anyway



okay - but actually this is a great way to do a script - i should do my script this way -
although - it doesn't bring you back here necessarily

for example, let's say i know how i want to shoot this. all right, this has led to - discovering that american cinematographer doesn't recognize me, when i'm a subscriber- and doesn't see my email addresses- have i stopped getting it/ no, i still get it.

i wanted to show those scene outlines- what the hell do they call them?
diagrams. lighting diagrams.

Shimmering on the edge of darkness.

some 3-screen notes to add links to before reposting

1. http://www.you3b.com/watch/936
is a - 1 B - and a 2
uncut long takes
medium - completely unrelated - and wide
african dancing

what i'm really thinking is: three- the big long essay on that -
2. http://www.you3b.com/watch/730

the A1- [blue filter] and a2 ['natural] here are wide, slow-moving shots and then a fast cutting one in the far right [are they the same shots?]
this is how people innately organize their ideas - it's amazing



and lastly - the sound includes a low drone and then repetitions of the sounds creating the cutting.

"sunken city" is inherently much more interesting - three shots of the same thing - by Raphaele Shirley

i could in fact tie this to my own autobiography - which is that figgis came out with time code in 1999, and i had decided on four people in my Pretend story - Mom dad sophie ellie -- and because he was ONLY four, i couldn't do it --

and that forced me to think about three

and the walter murch essay on design

text - 'writing' -- in quotes, this strikes me as funny
