Bittersweet Seeds: A Line A Minute
A Line A Minute
This is one of several Bittersweet Seeds story summaries. This summary is similar to the general rule of thumb that a screenplay page equals about a minute. Usually 90 to 120 pages will be 90 to 120 minutes of screen time. Except instead of a page, it's simply a line that equals about a minute.
1 line = 1 minute, roughly, in point form.
It may not make sense to casual readers. But it's a tool, much like cards on a cork board, for mapping out and cementing the structural foundations with plot points, character arcs, concepts, key moments, pacing, notes, etc.
I just invented this "Line-A-Minute" thing, though I suspect there are many similar screenwriting devices out there under different names. If you know of any, please let me know about them. ~ User:JasonCarswell
Act titles
In this summary I've added titles for each of the 6 act parts: Sprout, Bloom, Doubt, Fugue, Drift, and Launch. All are single monosyllabic words, simultaneously nouns and verbs, and I'm still hoping to improve on and replace the last 3 with "seed"-related words, like the first 3 (ie. seeds that sprout, blooms that seed, seeds of doubt, etc.).
Colour schemes
Colour coded progression is an underutilized tool throughout cyberspace, IMO, and in this project:
- the background will indicate the Act
- and highlight stages rated for work completed so far.
The color spectrum does not have to just be Gay<ref>https://youtu.be/wj0pVQJ5S54?t=70</ref> and as a fan of Mork and Mindy, rainbows, and everything within our visible frequencies, I resent the pigeon-holed abduction of our sequential primary and secondary hues, and reclaim their use for my own practical (and impractical) purposes!
Numbering
The scene numbers are suffixed with an extra zero, so #1 is #10. This is a common professional animation practice for numbering shots anticipating up to 9 unforeseen additions that can be added into the production pipeline without disruption. The 0 prefixes pad out to 4 digits resolving sequential confusion by various operating systems and applications.
Spoilers
This summary includes Template:Highlight round.
