3、 popular, try a different spin on a sci-fi movie such as making it a spoof or comedy. 研究最近的电影趋势可以提升卖出你剧本的机会。看看流行报纸,比如综艺和娱乐周刊,看看最近那些电影最火。试着推测未来一段时间内的流行,走到流行的前头。用你推测出的热门风格创作你的剧本,并加入一些能让它有个性、与众不同的元素。例如,如果最近流行科幻片,你就可以试着写一部特殊的科幻电影,比如科幻滑稽片或者科幻喜剧。Comedy喜剧Comedy movies have been successful for years, but th

6、编订的时候去掉,最终的剧本就充满了极棒的笑话了。戏剧的基础就是笑话,但它必须得有一个紧凑的的故事框架。比如一些很棒的喜剧片,像四十岁的老处男和四个圣诞节,充满了笑话,但它们都有一个很完整的故事把这些笑话组合起来。Animations动画片Animation movies have expanded greatly since the expansion of CG movies, and movie studios are always looking for the next animation hit.

Study other animated movies to understand this. 自从计算机动画电影发展起来之后,动画片取得了极大的发展,电影制片厂永远在搜寻下一部成功的动画。写计算机动画电影的时候,不必要为预算担心,因为所有东西都能用电脑合成。但这并不意味着你可以在创作中为爆炸而爆炸,剧本还是要有结构的。同时还要考虑受众,动画片的典型受众是
9、5到12岁的儿童,当你构思故事和编写对话时都要牢记这一点。这并不是说所有东西都越直接越好,但应该相对简化。你可以看看别人写的动画片来体会这一点。MOW Scripts每周电影An MOW script is also known as a Movie of the Week script. These scripts are typically shorter than a standard script and range from 70 to 90 pages. These scripts are created exclusively for television and network

Call the books company and ask to speak to person in control of the books film rights. You will usually be forwarded to the authors agent where you can pitch your idea on the adaptation and possibly gain the option to write it for free. 利用现成的文学作品进行改编是创作剧本的另一种方法,这种方法可以帮助新入这行的作者尽快上手。但是想获得到一个版权授权可能没那么容易。开始写之前,你要先找到你想改写的这本书,看看它的版权是不是受限制。给这本书的出版社打电话,找负责这本书的影视改编权的人。通常你会被进一步介绍给作者的经纪人,面对他你就可以竭力推销你的改编想法了,说不定有可能免费拿到改编的机会呢。
