@TaroJ: @Leytonrocks follow them up, even if it's just a hi remember me email, all too easy to leave it till its too late #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@eising: @teenierussell I have a script laid out (wrote the first pages), which has to tickle the negative emotions like fear and anger. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @TaroJ if a scene is mean to be sad but doesn't make my eyes water a little then I need to rewrite #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: I reckon they're all a little different, but momentum is basically everything. Establishing it, breaking it, doing it right. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@ijoda07: .@TaroJ @SiFoulaReel I find it hard to write abt that stuff though - hard to go THERE coz have to feel it too to write it. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@TaroJ: I find it can often be what a character doesn't say that can have an impact, then a flippant remark can be so much more powerful #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson Well said. I was thinking of the last ep of Homeland, so much tension and then release just at the right moment #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:11 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson and then repeat again #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:11 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: You have to take yourself to the place your characters - & readers - need to be. Use music or memories to get scared/happy/sad. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:11 pm      



 
@ijoda07: Yeah the conflict between what you can see your character wants to say, and they actually say has lots more emotional impact 2. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: With most of them I tend to find it's small things that work the best though. Heartbreak is tiny. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @Leytonrocks also I'm pretty sure I heard a @UKscriptwriters podcast about canne both before and after, would be in the archive #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @ijoda07 It is hard. I've spent hours on half a page before, trying to get the rhythm of the emotions - sounds wanky, I know! #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @eising is it a Horror or Thriller? #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @Sandy_Nicholson Yeah, finding those little moments that have BIG beats in them. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: #scriptchat. My name is Irwell J and I'm a writer. It's been 2 days since I last had a write. #writewatchers weigh-in http://t.co/td2SKNAI
June 17, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat hello script chat am here just catching up with the chat
June 17, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @ijoda07 I find music helps to get to the write mood, which explains why so many write to specific play lists #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell now the bad news - readers haven't invested in your writing the way u have, so impact may be lost :( #scriptchat #sadbuttrue
June 17, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson Yes. Big reactions to say, a loved one's death, always seem overdone. I have always have small scenes for that. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: I've been slaughtered by conversations about sandwiches. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



  
@ijoda07: @teenierussell Not a question of getting in the mood. Question of dealing with the emotions once they're out of the box. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@TaroJ: I guess the other thing with emotion is it can't be predictable, the unexpected always has an impact on me #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@teenierussell: RT @TaroJ: I find it can often be what a character doesn't say that can have an impact, then a flippant remark can be so much more powerful #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@eising: @teenierussell It's not horror. It's 50/50 drama/thriller. The characters, what they do and say, leads up to a climax. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @teenierussell not enough to pour your OWN emotion in, u have to make it "universal". Only then will it mean something to others #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@ijoda07: And the absence of conversation. @Sandy_Nicholson Silence very important part of emotion - expectations hang on it. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat not sure if I'm getting all the messages.
June 17, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@eising: @teenierussell But I am a bit puzzling how to do it right, as @Sandy_Nicholson said it's more like how to time it perfectly. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell I don't know if I agree with that. The page has to take you there. Whoever's reading can't hear your playlist. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Bang2write @teenierussell We can only hope our action - spare as possible - & dialogue works then. Subjective for everyone. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: @Leytonrocks #scriptchat I usually send a quick email to say hi, nice to meet you, and a vaguely relevant comment. Could also fb follow

June 17, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @Bang2write @teenierussell Hi when you read a script that makes an emotional impact what is it that sets it apart from others #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: @TaroJ #scriptchat ScreenwritingU's great rewrite course makes that point. if the emotion is in the structure, the dialogue can be anything
June 17, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson @teenierussell I use music to get me to the page - but you're right, after that,it's on its own, so write well! #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel true, though too many writers writing for themselves, gotta open it up @teenierussell #scriptchat

@WriteCoachKiki: Hi all, I'm usually with the US #scriptchat but just saw your # fly by. A thought - emotion is also shown through the actions > #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @TaroJ @teenierussell hi. It's the notion of universal truth that sets a script apart for me and makes a real impact #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson the playlist is more for me to get to the right emotional state to write, once I'm there I don't even hear it.. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: #scriptchat I aim for characters involved in an emotionally engaging situation rather than emotionally engaging characters in a situation
June 17, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson if you see what I mean #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @TaroJ @teenierussell that "thing" that makes u go, "oh yeah. That's happened to me" and/or "that's what I think" #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @IrwellJohnson I prefer conflict that's character driven. More engaging if character creates confilct themselves #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @Bang2write @teenierussell Are there any common mistakes that drive you nuts? Or is it purely if it all feels too on the nose #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@WriteCoachKiki: cont. takes, action out of character.Also, if you're afraid to feel it...chances are your character will shy away too. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @Bang2write ... but would never, ever admit to out loud #scriptchat Big part of it too, surely?
June 17, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @ijoda07 yes, but I first need to get into the character's head so need something to take me away from this reality, so to say #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@john_hunter: @Bang2write I agree entirely...but on other hand, what are the best suggestions how, otherwise we're just saying 'make it good'. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@WriteCoachKiki: Signing out but did want to throw my 2 cents (pence?) in. Have a great one. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat does emotion come more from the dialogue or the action in your scripts? Posing that to everyone
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @TaroJ @teenierussell Writers trying too hard makes me sad. They end up imitating. They've more chance of impact bein themselves #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @teenierussell @sandy_nicholson I personally can only ever write whilst listening to "Eye of the Tiger" #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell I do. But for me, what's about to happen has to do it for me. Otherwise it's not good enough for me to write. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@BrevityRulesOK: @SiFoulaReel @Sandy_Nicholson @teenierussell Hi all. Catching up here. Bit of techno hassles. #scriptchat

@Bang2write: @TaroJ @teenierussell we all have common experiences. Accessing those you've more chance of impact. Don't try too hard #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:23 pm      



 
@ijoda07: .@robinbellwriter Maybe sometimes it's the inaction? The breath between the 2? #scriptchat

@Sandy_Nicholson: @TaroJ If it's not emotional enough to overpower Mike Flowers Pops it's not emotional enough to be written down! #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @robinbellwriter Seriously, it depends on the situation & chars involved from script to script. Can be both, one or other. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@TaroJ: I think a lot of it stems from character if you have a good well rounded character with flaws they can make you feel something #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel @sandy_nicholson agreed, it's definitely all about the writing #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @john_hunter I like to string the big moments to small things. Ground them in a physical discussion. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @john_hunter hi John. Accessing common experiences we all share is a good place to start ie. School, family, being human, etc #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @WriteCoachKiki Hi there, welcome to the Euro chat :-) #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:26 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @Sandy_Nicholson Has to be that way, really. Because scripts really are abt those BIG events in small moments. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:26 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @john_hunter Use something trivial. Highlight what's important by showing us what is not. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@john_hunter: @teenierussell @Bang2write Agreed, but also think you can make it not 'I've been there' but more 'If I *were* in that situation' #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@ClaireYeowart: @robinbellwriter impossible to say, emotion comes from both dialogue and action - it just depends on the character for me #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@BrevityRulesOK: Do you think you need to foreshadow emotions, to get the impact later? #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:28 pm      



 
@TaroJ: Can anyone recommend some good scripts to read that demonstrate strong emotional writing? #scriptchat biggest tip must be read more scripts
June 17, 2012, 7:28 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat emotion is all subjective, what makes one person cry buckets will turn another cold
June 17, 2012, 7:28 pm      



 
@ijoda07: Blocked goals, hidden motivations, internal conflict also helps to build emotion coz they generate conflict. #scriptwriting101 #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:28 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @BrevityRulesOK Absolutely. Just like you have to foreshadow comedy. There's a reason your friends are funnier than the TV. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:29 pm      



 
@Bang2write: @john_hunter ET is a brilliant script which accesses universal truth about growing up in a single parent family, for example #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:29 pm      



 
@john_hunter: @Bang2write Awesome. Also I think my favourite word in what you just said was 'accessing'. #scriptchat
June 17, 2012, 7:29 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @BrevityRulesOK Right off the bat we're looking to not care about someone. You have to force us to, then kill us where we live. #scriptchat

@BrevityRulesOK: @ijoda07 So the character need not be full of the emotion that you want your audience to feel. Crying doesn't beget crying. #scriptchat
