    Easy you’re just telling a story.
    Then you hire the Production Studios and then the actors. You write the story and then you can lose the farm. All in 3 simple steps.

    the basic of the story, is about an ordinary troubled boy (act 1) who gets addicted to drugs (act 2), and finally gets clean again (act 3) and his life turns out to be better than it was in act 1. However I put a twist in the ending scene, where he gets killed for something stupid that he did in act 2. However this last scene is not a part of the movie-premise, it is just an extra scene to get a surprise ending, so I don’t know if this scene will turn out well or be a catastrophy,

    That actually sounds like just the thing that I am going for! What is the story about?

    I’ve written a screenplay, where the main character achieves his goal in act three, however in the very last scene, I put a twist in, where he lost everything again, just more dramatically and intense, and I think it worked out quite well, people who have read the script seem to appreciate the ending..

    just let them lose ^^

    you should probably work on Act 2 to help it develop and bring more sense to why they will lose at the end

    but my story doesn’t have the characters win in the end…what am I suppose to do there?

    and it can be seen at 1:56

    I usualy write my story back ground, then i split it up into 10 different scenes.
    Writing each scene no longer then 10 pages, and it usualy comes together in the end.

    great information =D and sexxxy! voice :D.

    The funny thing is, the word you are trying to correct is “from,” but you wrote “form.”

  19. By DjMartinEST, November 19, 2009 @ 8:32 am

    Yes it is very good tutorial but actually you have a little mistake in your sentence there ..”farmer loses form” shouldnt it be ‘farm’? …sry

  20. By darkdesigns, November 19, 2009 @ 8:35 am

    For the most part, true. Though the second act is more centered around a collapse, as opposed to a loss of something, at least as I’ve always seen it. And I’ve always found that Act 1 had always been about establishing the dreams and goals of a character as opposed to them “getting” something.

    But those are just nitpicky things.

    Anyway, very simplistic, which is a good thing.

  21. By Filmmaker55, November 19, 2009 @ 9:35 am

    so true in all it’s simplicity!

    slowly starts clapping…

    slowly stands up and claps louder.
