463 - Writing Action (Encore)

<p>John and Craig talk action! It’s an all-craft episode about how words on the page become high-adrenaline events on the screen.</p> <p>Using a variety of different scripts, we look at how different styles of action sequences can be used to clearly communicate what is meant to happen in a scene and how it’s supposed to feel.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members we try to discuss the Emmys but mostly talk about teenage girls’ obsession with Criminal Minds.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://johnaugust.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Scriptnotes-463-action-samples-corrected.pdf"> Action Scenes PDF</a></li> <li><a href= "https://johnaugust.com/2020/writing-action">Scriptnotes Episode 463: Writing Action</a></li> <li><a href= "https://actorsfund.org/am-i-eligible-help">Entertainment Community Fund – Emergency Financial Assistance</a></li> <li><a href= "https://variety.com/2020/film/news/caa-major-layoffs-agents-staff-1234718628/"> CAA Lays Off Agents and Employees</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.thewrap.com/wga-contract-ratified-with-overwhelming-approval-in-membership-vote/"> From 2020: WGA East and West members voted to approve the new contract</a></li> <li><a href= "https://9to5mac.com/2020/07/23/good-sudoku-ios-app-launches-to-save-sudoku/"> Good Sudoku</a></li> <li><a href= "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1489118195#?platform=iphone">Good Sudoku App</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/ghost-of-tsushima-ps4/">Ghosts of Tsushima</a></li> <li><a href= "https://cottonbureau.com/people/scriptnotes-podcast">Get a Scriptnotes T-shirt!</a></li> <li><a href="https://inneresting.substack.com/">Check out the Inneresting Newsletter</a></li> <li><a href="https://scriptnotes.supportingcast.fm/gifts">Gift a Scriptnotes Subscription</a> or <a href= "https://scriptnotes.supportingcast.fm/">treat yourself to a premium subscription!</a></li> <li>Craig Mazin on <a href= "https://www.threads.net/@clmazin">Threads</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clmazin/">Instagram</a></l
