Classical, Minimalism, and Anti-Structure
How will you design your story?
A collection of film making resources I find in my journey as a student filmmaker.
I just came across a new website that promises online screen writing functionality. It promises to make collaboration easier. I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it might be something I try in the future.
From the about page:
The advantages of web-based applications are obvious - no software to install, no updates to keep track of, easy portability, and automatic off-site backup of data. Screenwriting, in particular, enjoys significant benefits from this architecture. By hosting the software online, we are able to offer easy and intuitive collaborative features. Users can work privately as they do today, collaborate with a few friends, or even collaborate with the entire web community. We automatically manage revision history and maintain a record of authorship. Also, by offering a web-based application, we can easily reach a diverse population of writers and build a dynamic community that is not possible with traditional screenwriting applications.zhura.com

"Welcome to 'Ask a Filmmaker,' a column devoted to your questions and concerns about the filmmaking process."
This is an unbelievable goldmine of information. Ask a Filmmaker started as a column on the Indie section of IMDb in June of 2000. With an answer posting every couple of days for the last 7 years, well, I'll let you do the math. I'm too busy mining the archive for useful information.
The contributors are writer John August, director Penelope Spheeris, and cinematographer Oliver Stapleton.
"Submit your questions to Ask a Writer, Ask a Director, or Ask a Cinematographer, then tune in daily to see what the pros have to say."
