[Телеплей]

По поводу Снайдера никто не отвечает, ну да ладно.

В общем, помимо собственных «жанров» (любопытно было бы перевести), там есть (как я понял, так как книги я не читал — не могу найти) некий список пунктов, обязательных к заполнению перед тем, как писать скрипт.
Называется он Beat Sheet.

Собс-но, вот он:

1. Opening Image (1)
2. Theme Stated (5)
3. Set-Up (1-10)
4. Catalyst (12)
5. Debate (12-25)
6. Break into Two (25)
7. B S***y (30)
8. Fun and Games (30-55)
9. Midpoint (55)
10. Bad Guys Close In (55-75)
11. All Is Lost (75)
12. Dark Night of the Soul (75-85)
13. Break into Three (85)
14. Finale (85-110)
15. Final Image (110)

В принципе, все понятно даже мне, хотя английским языком я не особо владею. Хотя есть пункты загадочные (Debate и Fun and Games, например).

В инете на каком-то буржуйском форуме я нарыл что-то вроде конспекта (я так понял, что это не снайдеровский текст) по этим пунктам.

Было бы здорово, если кто-то из форумчан переведет этот список. Я могу и сам, но реально Google Translate это делает лучше меня. В том смысле, что он делает это плохо, а я — еще хуже.

Вот этот текст:

Opening Image – This is fairly self-explana***y; it’s the scene in the movie that sets up the tone, type, and initial salvo of a film — and it’s the opposite of the Final Image.



Theme Stated – Also easy. Usually spoken to the main character, often without his knowing what is said will be vital to his surviving this tale. It’s what your movie is “about.”



Set-up – The first 10 pages of a script must not only grab our interest — and a studio reader’s — but introduce or hint at introducing every character in the A s***y.



Catalyst – The telegram, the knock at the door, the act of catching your wife in bed with another, and suddenly you know your life has changed. It’s the movie’s first “whammy.”



Debate – The section of the script, be it a scene or a series of them, when a hero doubts the journey he must take.



Break into Two – Act Two, that is, and it is where we leave the “Thesis” world behind and enter the upside-down “Antithesis” world of Act Two. Let the journey begin!



B S***y – The “love” s***y, traditionally, but actually where discussion about the theme of a good movie is found.

Fun and Games – Where we find “set pieces,” trailer moments, and the “promise of the premise.”



Midpoint – The dividing line between the two halves of a movie, the part where “fun and games” end, where the “stakes are raised,” and where the going gets tough for our hero(es).



Bad Guys Close In – Both internally (problems inside the hero’s team) and externally (as actual bad guys tighten their grip), that part of the film where pressure is applied.


All Is Lost – The “False Defeat” and the place where you find “the whiff of death” — because something must die here.



Dark Night of the Soul – Why hast thou forsaken me, Lord? That part of the script where the hero has lost all hope...



Break into Three – ...but not for long! Thanks to a fresh idea, new inspiration, or a last-minute word of advice from the love interest in the B S***y, the hero chooses to fight.



Finale – The Synthesis of two worlds: from that which was, and that which has been learned, the hero forges a new world.



Final Image – The opposite of the Opening Image, proving that a change has occurred. And since ALL s***ies are about “transformation,” that change had better be dramatic!
