"As a writer your role is to bring people to places where they did not know she wants to go"
protagonist of the third and final meeting of the series "
Created by" is the brilliant and award-winning
Paul Abbott, British author of such cult
Shameless, Clocking Off
and
State of play (recently adapted by the Americans).
meeting with Abbott was very enlightening. He touched on all aspects of the work of the writer, from personal motives to relationship with the network, the relationship between writing and directing passing through the role and importance of the writer / producer .
Just put in a row statements of Abbott to draw the necessary conclusions.
On the role and the essence of the writer Abbott says:
" I have to respect the public because I am the public. In my career as a writer I have done things that are not happy but I always tried to improve. If you do not think so you're not a writer, but a typist "
" Writing is rewriting. We must constantly change what you have written. Give rise to proteins "
" As a writer your role is to bring people to places where they did not know you want to go. We must bring in a point that they do not know, giving them a completely new "
" essential to understand their own style to the network, we must learn to describe what you have in mind. You have to be seductive because only in this way, others will affect your work "
Here, we would like to die, even in our country, we could one approach to writing this. We would like to seduce our partners with attractive ideas that are new for this writer and the public.
On the role of writer / producer, Abbott adds :
"If a writer manages to have the mind of the producer is able to optimize the costs already in writing."
also became a writer / producer "The relationship with the network changes. I respect the most because you think for themselves and do not see them more as enemies."
"I American networks are the best, but a spendthrift policy. We can not copy that system, but we take it and modify it. we can improve it. "
" I network should promote the knowledge of the industry from the writers, because only then can a product be good . In this way a showrunner can make five times more to a network. In this way the product will be better and make better around the world. "
Need we say more? Maybe. As this blog has visited also from our fellow directors need to quote the words of Abbott related to the relationship between writing and director:
"I can not manage, I'm not a director and I will not be obliged to do so. My voice comes out of the script and if a director tries to suppress it would not be acceptable behavior. Writers and directors are called on to creating the product and a good producer is responsible for ensuring that the director does not prevail. No one can survive without the other and all three categories must be brought to understand this truth. "
With Paul Abbott for coming, for being so clearly and precisely. And we hope that these statements, which are combined with a history of Pharaoh and Krivine, stirs something in Italian market .
