True inspiration comes from rubbing two stones of reality together to create a spark. Take notes and ideas from your own life. Even if your work isn’t autobiographical, make it personal. 2:21 - 2. Using real reference points while writing can help you ground your fictional story. Real locations, names etc, can make your larger than life story more relatable and approachable. 3:39 - 3. Movie-making is a mix of practical decisions and storytelling decisions. If you can, try to use them to complement one another. 4:59 - 4. If you find yourself writing down the same idea over and over, that probably means you should work through it and explore it further because it can become a catalyst for a script. 7:13 - 5. Be open to different genres as you write. Embedding different genres instead of locking yourself within one, affords you more opportunities to create more varied emotions and atmospheres. 9:09 - 6. Growing up and finding your voice is key to writing. You truly need to find your voice, and your style, before you start putting your material out there. 10:46 - 7. Stories come when ideas come. You can start with a character, or start with a story, whatever helps you discover the idea. 11:53 - 8. While you need to let actors feel their way through a scene, use planning like blocking, choreography and even editing plans to aid actors in a scene whilst getting your most desired outcome. 13:43 - 9. During a time like covid, it can be difficult to work on creative projects. But our work is even important now, as art coming from this moment will reflect the struggles of this time. 14:36 - 10. Scripts aren’t complete things by nature, they are potential. Every script is in the best hands of a director who wrote it themselves. While this isn’t always possible, most of the time directing your own writing is the best way for you to reach the potential of your script. 17:31 - EXTRA TIPS & Outro Follow us on our main Instagram:   / outstanding.screenplays   Follow us on our video Instagram:   / outstandingscreenplays   Follow us on Twitter:   / outscreenplays   Follow us on Facebook:   / outstandingscreenplays   Support us on Patreon:   / outstandingscreenplays   #NoahBaumbach #MarriageStory #Screenwriting #Screenwriter
