FADE IN:

"Film plays on screen"

FADE OUT

[zeeloss]

[ONEzephyer]

Do we really need a tutorial to type two words?

[995sunglasses]

in celtx on the page title area it shows a space "based on" is this supposed to be on your main page?

[MastersofHumility]

What's with all the weird boxes on screen?

[MrJacobm47]

wt fizzle man that was really hard rightin FADE IN: i thought i was boughtto die he needs to stop teachen so much lol yea i really learned alot

[skatenationplayer18]

I have this software! Its called Celtx! Great software! And its free! Also great video!

[ThomasReedMusic]

I think it's a good start for people learning to do this for the first time, and it's a minute long video, what'd you expect?

[6ford]

are you kidding me?

[parkerphil20]

what does fade in imply?

[vtmFilms]

@parkerphil20 it means when the screen is completely black, and slowly the picture comes up. instead of *POP!* and fade out is when the movie slowly gets darker, until its all black, then credits.

[BozoGates]

Hi Tony Ramirez. Your tutorial gives me an idea. I was a going to write a screenplay, but now I'm going to start a software company to develop a program that can totally automate the FADE IN process with colors, banners, marquees and even 3-D. I think I'm going to be rich and famous. So what do you think, Tony?

-Bozo de niro-

[jonnyb845]

ok it took a while but i managed to type ''FADE IN:'' but i can't find the enter key, could you please do a tutorial on where to find it on the keyboard, thanks. FFS SERIOUSLY WTF IS THIS?!?!?!

[Pcheck3]

Get the screen writers bible @ filmaker 24. It has a lot of examples for screenwriting. It teaches everything in detail.

[filmmaker24]

Thank goodness for this video. Without it, I never would have been able to write "FADE IN." I thought the title implied learning how to get into actually writing a script, not just writing "FADE IN." Geez.

[hootsatan]

I am oh so happy for this information.

[chambordino]

Hey, Wait! Where's the video that shows me how to turn on my computer?.....

c'mon, is this a joke? thanks for the "help"

[MajikPanda]

I'm going to say what the general consensus is regardless of the fact that it's repetitive. Terrible video.

[Giggabottom]

When I saw "How to Start a screenplay" what I wanted to see was how to generate narrative. Not how to write FADE IN:

[guyNbluejeans]

Cool.

[nickolaz107]

where the hell is video 2???!?!?

[jayeshchoudhari]

ya..its all confusing...the should have written 1,2,3....

[composer321]

[NESIANSKILLZ]

what was so expert about that mannn!

[justinwilsonsinger]

TAMPA FLORIDA!!!! YAY. lol. I'm from tampa too. Rock on dude.

[spectrophotography]

The truth is, everyone should know how to write, it's just the sitting down and doing it part that gets people.

[OXiDEStudios]

well done for using over a minute of my time to explain to me how to fade a video in...

[YellePops]

I learned geez people! Anyways I love to write and I decide that screenplay suits me and I KNEW NOTHING so if you already know then congrats you should have gotten out of the video like seconds ago then!

[spectrophotography]

FADE IN:

uhhh... now what?

[YellePops]

write the dialogue I guess

[PolysaturatedFat]

That's why these Expert Village ad videos suck.

[1bobo1]

don't get me wrong, on these expert tips, but I could have pretty much figured the Fade In:, and Fade Out: thing on my own

[cinerama1]

i accidently began with fade out... is there any way to fix this?

[dgrkid23]

this makes perfect sense..I was stuck there forever...thanks!

[balforr]

... also, if you make a series, could you number them? It makes it better to keep track of where you are.

[masterwindu1234]

why did you make this vid?

[HoldinCoffee]

grrrr

[erodevets]

wow that was a total waste of 1:05, i already new how to type 'fade in'..

I learned nothing

[mulukchuwen]

i've noticed a lot of them start w/ a date between the title and the fade in part. what's that about?

[iweargoggles2]

wat if your writing a cartoon

[theproffesor1]

ok, now if i want to fade in from white to start the movie?

[atticus1315]

those types of details aren't the screenwriter's responsibility. Although many screenwriters will add details like FADE FROM WHITE: many readers don't appreciate said details. Most readers don't even appreciate FADE IN or CUT TO as those are edits; in the same sense that screenwriters shouldn't write what type of shot is being used as thats the director's call.

[sergeantyeti]

This is excellent information on screenwriting. All of Tony's postings on screenwriting are helpful.

[SpideyFan1993]

Cool

I use Celtx to =)
