Try watching 'A Christmas Carol' with Jim Carey to get a few ideas of the different flashbacks and cinematography :) keep it up man, well done!!Otis Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517492947033878563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530298882470075663.post-59995012019910885472012-02-06T13:58:30.574-08:002012-02-06T13:58:30.574-08:00I'm going to largely agree with Sammy. #4 reso...I'm going to largely agree with Sammy. #4 resonates the most with me, though it may be because I love Scrooge-type characters. #6 is also possible, but I feel that all your stories drop off at the third act. None of them feel like there's actually any resolution - it's just 'this happens, then this happens, then this happens'. None of these really have endings, just cut-off points. I do like the little bit of backstory you gave for #4 - makes the Scrooge seem a lot more human, and gives him some personal demons to overcome.Meg Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704418398049871266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530298882470075663.post-46533257576522636362012-02-04T08:26:15.076-08:002012-02-04T08:26:15.076-08:00Sammy thanks for commenting :) I like your take on...Sammy thanks for commenting :) I like your take on idea 4 I have to say. RE: Idea 6 lol nah I like it about as much as anything else, personally I liked the guitar story lol. Thank you for your opinion on this I could get to do a nice time paradox thing wuld be quite interesting.<br /><br />Yeah I know what you mean, It's not in my nature to rush endings lol I kinda let them flow out you can usually tell if something doesnt fit... The catapult felt like a way I could convey his corrupted innocence maybe he breaks his fathers window with it and his father has a go at him telling him not to be immature and to be a man. Words which were so powerful they stopped him from enthusing in later life...<br /><br />Your not crazy mate, very wise but hey we knew that :)<br /><br />hmmm I will consider investing in a little more research at some point soon...<br /><br />Thanks again Sam :)Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703950470101020401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530298882470075663.post-44351371447466824942012-02-04T04:59:20.156-08:002012-02-04T04:59:20.156-08:00I really like Idea 4.

It's what you said about him being like scrooge that I liked. If you MADE him like scrooge it would really work. You could work your story around the past, present, future concept but be inventive, there doesn't have to be a spiritual being... it could be flashbacks or the employees dressing up an pretending to be the ghosts.<br /><br />However, I always feel that the ending is the focus of a story. Sure the opening has to capture an audience and the story has to be a good one but if the endings not there or its there because you have cap it off at some point the whole story falters. Go with the story that you think has the most rounded ending and build everything around leading to that resolution.<br /><br />I could be talking crazy, just my opinion, but tends to help me. :) <br /><br />p.s. 'mr magorium's wonder emporium' all about a guy leaving his toy shop to his employee! I always thought it looked a bit pants... actually an amazing film!Miss Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927281315676208058noreply@blogger.com
