Anyone else exhausted from the past weekend? I know I am. But, I am excited about applying Hauge’s theories on character, especially the discussion about identity vs. essence.
A couple of things:
1. FORMATTING: I want to allay your fears that you may be formatting incorrectly after Hauge’s assessment of our scripts. He mentioned using David Trottier’s book, The Screenwriter’s Bible, which Wally and I did. After further review in Book III: Proper Formatting Technique, we found it is okay to use Master Scene headings with mini-slugs when moving room to room or location to location within a master location. You don’t have to create a new Master Scene heading if you are in the same building/location. For example:
INT. RICK’S PLACE – NIGHT
Blah blah blah.
AT THE BAR
Blah blah blah.
IN THE GAMING ROOM
Blah blah blah.
2. PARKING: We’ve lost our parking privileges at the CTI Lot, one block north of Clear Channel. This is an unfortunate turn of events, but I wanted everyone to be aware that we are working on a solution. In the interim, I urge people to carpool, take the bus, ride their bikes, or take a cab. There is some street parking nearby, up in Queen Anne and on the street.
