RE: Are Screenwriters Banging their Heads Against a Brick Wall?
Because it's one of the greatest, most interesting art forms :-) in of itself technically a part art form even, still great, as a blueprint is only part of architecture.
Simply: writing for just sound, image, and time, it's exciting.
It has been interesting to see somewhat of a split grow in screenwriting the last decade, though, as budgets go either big or small and less in the middle.
Good power and energy to you.
If you want to get a real handle on screenwriting structure, read 'Save the Cat' by Blake Snyder. Structure is important not in of itself but structure helps the writing bring out the best in the script and in the end is what the audience expects.
Cheers to solid structure.
I love the Coen Brothers' wink or nod (or something perhaps) to that book with their lead character in Inside Llewyn Davis literally trying to save the cat throughout the film.
Ha! Ha! Love the Coen Brothers. Not a big fan of Inside Llewyn Davis though but I hear you.
