You can register
You can write on Movie Play without making yourself an user account. But if you come here often and work on the scripts you might want to get in contact with the other authors. If you register you do not need to give any information. You only need a Username like Pinkunicorn21 and come up with a password. You can enter your email and your real name but both is not needed. The real name entry textbox says it helps giving you credit but this is not for this platform. Your name as you want it in movie title credits you have to write into the scripts. So there is really no advantage in giving your real name at registration, also not for possible title credits. If you register you get a little user page where you can write some information about you for the other authors at Movie Play. And after registration you have the possibility to sign your User name in the scripts and then people can send you a message. So registration is the way to get in contact with the other authors. Registration is free. Click on create an account at the upper right to become a registerd user.
Finding scripts
If you can not find a script then it is not categorized correctly. then follow this link to all uncatagorized scripts. Please copy this notion: [[Category:Action]] and put it at the beginning of the script into the text of the script of course where it says Action you put in the right category.
If you find your script there then you have probably used the
[[Category:Action]]
thing but made a mistake in writing the category right or chose a category that does not exist.
If it is not there you could check the deleted pages
If it is also not there I probably can not help you. But of course you can contact me on my talk page --Evader (talk) 20:10, 15 May 2015 (CEST)
What is Movie Play - community movie script writing
This is Movie Play the open movie, film and theater script writing page. Script writing for movies community style. Movie Play is a page where everybody can edit the movie or tv scripts somebody else started. So keep a copy of what you write in Movie Play, so it won’t get lost if somebody thinks some things should be deleted. Also be caring with the writings of others on Movie Play. No registration is needed at Movie Play but you can register for better joining the discussions. You find all the script writing under Scripts.
Movie Play is an online community site for film scripting. What does happen on this page. You take your unfinished ideas for your film scripts or movie and theater skript writing and post them on Movie Play. That is what you do here, you write your scripts here on this page. And what happens first is that everybody who finds your ideas can take them as if they where his or her ideas. And he or she can even go ahead and work with your ideas or just takes them and trie to sell them as they are. With writing whatever scripting idea to Movie Play you allow everybody to use it even commercially. But you do not loose the right to use your own ideas if you put them to this page. The ideas you present here still are your property, but they also are the property of everybody else. So you can still sell your ideas even if you put them to this page, with putting your ideas here you only admit that everybody else can also sell them.
What is this good for? Are you just giving away your best movie ideas. No, of course not. What many younger authors underestimate is the fact that movie scripts are not written by single genius persons. When Hollywood started each studio hired like 10 authors and they had them write the film scripts together. And nowadays the practice for making movie scripts for blockbusters is much the same. The basic movie script may come from one person alone, but then other people are put to the script called “script doctors” or “script consultants”. Most time you do not get aware of this because these script doctors or script consultants are often not credited, that means their name does not even appear in the titles. But fact is nobody can write a great script alone. Hollywood knows since the 1910s and it is true to the present day. And as long as you can not afford some 9 script doctors Movie Play is the place to be. The Writers Guild of America, which is a kind of a labour union for script writers defines that to get a credit in the titles you have to contribute over 50 percentage of the movie script to get a credit, so we see they alao know that a film script is never written by one single person.
So use the power of many authors for your script writing effords. Why should you write and develope your ideas alone if there are so many talented script writers out there.
And every idea of another author put to your script is just as good as if you would have had it yourself. What you fond on this page you can treat as your own idea. So you can just use it or sell it. For that power it is worth to give some of your ideas to other script writers.
And another advantage of this site is the chance to get a credit. Everybody who takes ideas from Movie Play is asked to put the other script authors a credit in the movie titles. If you did most of the movie writing yourself then you should credit the other authors at least as “Additional scripting”. So posting your ideas on this page is a chance to get credited. And who tries to really make it as a movie script author knows how important credits can be. So please take the crediting of other authors in your titles serious. You do not have to credit. Every idea that you find on Movie Play can be treated as one of your own ideas. To make that work that you own every single idea on this page you have to admit that all the other people also own your ideas that you put on this page. But remember that the other scriptwriters here are real people, so take crediting them serious even if it is not a must on this page.
Younger script writers or script authors might not want to write here, because they might think, just as I did and still do today, that they are the most talented script authors ever. But the older you get the more you understand that writing a script alone is not as good as writing a script together. And you start to understand, that selling a script is not so easy anyways because it has to be a really good script. And you begin to understand that there is stuff you can learn from others, even if it is just a different perspective.
If somebody contributes to your script he can have the whole thing also for himself. No actually even before, if he or she sees the script it already is his or her possesion to make a movie, film or theatre play out of it. The point is that this is it what makes contributing here a thing that is good for you. For every idea you give you can take 10 new ones home with you. It is like being an author that has the talent and knowledge of many authors. You well risk that your script gets produced and you never see a penny. Be aware of that, and also be aware of the great benefits.
So authors who know that they will very probably sell the film script they are writing and then get the money should not write scripts for movies on Movie Play. But all of you, who know that probably no movie company is going to ever buy your written script and all of you who know that you will film this script on your own anyways, for all of you Movie Play should be just perfect.
So what I am going to do with writing my scripts is that I will keep my very special project out of here. It is ways to genius to just have it copied. And also I know that I will put a lot of work into it and do not to much need other authors for this. But a script writer does not work only on one idea. So all my other scripts will probably not come to be done in a way that I think is good enough. And the biggest problem is that there comes no input to them by itself. So those are the ideas for movie scripts I will put here. Maybe not my all special project. But my other projects. And maybe when I come back somebody or even multiple authors have taken up the idea and have written something to enhance it. As their prize they can take the complete movie script and make a play, film or book from it. But for this I just trust in my talent in movie making and trust that when I make my movie of this script it will become much better. And who knows if somebody has a writing style you like and you both are registered you might get into contact with people to work together for script writing and film making.
Of course you have the right to develope movie scripts for yourself without using Movie Play open source script writing for movies. So you might also put up a movie or film script writing project and get some initial ideas and then at some point copy it to your personal computer and finish the idea by yourself.
Movie Play is also for theater scripts, so it is also an open source community theaterical play script writing page. You can of course also use this site to write books, that means novels together. The format of the articles does not have to be necessarily in the style of a movie or film script. Script writing in this case also means writing books. How to write a book is in many cases similar to movie script writing. The ways to make a book work are the same ways like making a theater play, film or tv show or tv serial work. Because movie, tv, books or film scripts as well as theatrical plays use story or plot. So of course you can also start a book or a novel on Movie Play. This community page is generally for scripts as they are used for movies, tv, film and theater so please drop a note at the beginning if the script if the writing is for a book or a novel if you want this. To understand how to write a great movie script, a good film or a theater play you will also find help on this page. There are articles about script writing. That answer the questions how to write a good movie. so there is also script writing theories or theory featured on this open source community scriptwriting page.
Enjoy open source script writing. And write great movie scripts together. Or start a book for everybody to write on. Or open a page for a theater play and write on it with other people. Or at least have other people put scripting ideas to it. Have fun with this community script writing page.
Welcome everybody. Have fun on Movie Play. Yeah. --Evader (talk) 20:10, 15 May 2015 (CEST)
