Full Description
From the early stages of script writing to the final cut, We Have Some Notes... provides a detailed overview of the script editing and development process, emphasising the impact of critical feedback, or 'notes', in the creation of successful films and television shows.
Through interviews with leading industry practitioners, including Lynne Ramsay, Russell T Davies, Sally Wainwright, Edgar Wright, Lone Scherfig, Ben Wheatley and Simon Beaufoy, Venetia Hawkes explores the writer, director and note-giver relationship. The interviewees discuss the most productive and harmonious ways to give and receive feedback, and the role notes play in a fruitful creative process. Respected 'note-givers', such as Tessa Ross, Eva Yates and Pippa Harris, provide advice on nurturing successful development relationships. Inter-chapter sections pose key questions, such as "What's one thing never to do if you're giving notes?" and "How do you deal with rejection or critical notes?" Providing illuminating, practical guidance on ways of working successfully with notes, for both writers and directors.
With its wealth of first-hand reflections, expert advice, and historical context, We Have Some Notes... is a vital read for students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the making of acclaimed films and television series.
