View Full Version : Is THE END necessary gto 08-27-2009, 02:30 PM Some say, THE END isn't necessary? directorik 08-27-2009, 02:39 PM Some say, THE END isn't necessary? I will assume you mean writing those words on the last page of your screenplay. They are correct. gto 08-27-2009, 02:45 PM Thank you.! CDCosta 08-27-2009, 05:12 PM until someones reading your script and they get to the end but think maybe theres a page missing. theres a reason for every little thing in film, even if it seems useless directorik 08-27-2009, 05:43 PM If your script is written in such a way that a reader might think there is a page missing unless you write "The End" you have a much bgger issue to deal with than writing those words. CDCosta 08-27-2009, 10:00 PM its not about that. some endings are more open, and although 99% of the time its easy to spot the end, writting 'the end' is simple and will clear up any confusion if there ever so happens to be any countevil 08-28-2009, 07:08 AM You could put it on the screenplay as a note but not include it in the actual movie. 'THE END' is a bit cliched and quite limmiting. When you say 'THE END' it closes off the story entirely. It discourages the audience from speculating about what could happen after the events of the film. barnaclelapse 08-28-2009, 08:55 AM If your script is written in such a way that a reader might think there is a page missing unless you write "The End" you have a much bgger issue to deal with than writing those words. Exactly. That was one of the first thing I learned when I began writing short fiction as a kid. indietalk 08-28-2009, 03:47 PM You could put it on the screenplay as a note but not include it in the actual movie.

He's not talking about the actual film. |
