Yeah, Funland is very prosey.
As is Hustle.
One example in Hustle to signify that a man is rich, his introduction is described as "wearing a suit that oozes money" which I feel is much better than "the man was rich."
Directions should be very well written. They are like poetry, as with dialogue, in as much as they should have the maximum bang for the minimum buck, not poetical in the sense of lots of similies and metaphoricals. They are there to place the reader in your imagined world and hold them there whilst still fulfilling a technical function for the directors and other secondary artists like the actors to interpret.
Yeah, I agree. I like to do that, but it would be bad to overdo it.
Well, there's two contrasting views Mikey. I'm never going to argue with Marc, especially with his track record. Maybe it's what I'm doing wrong and I should incorporate far more expressive actions / directions, rather than coat it in Cuprinol.
Hmm. Maybe a happy medium between "to the point" and "prosey."
And just to please you even more, I even went to the Marigold recording.
Ah, but was that for the story or because it was Angus Deyton who played someone in it?
