After registering telugu scripts ! Next Step

Mar, 26 '08 Subject: Pradeep Kolanus Blog, Viewed by: 2021

Based on the script that you have written, look for the directors who have previously worked with such sort of telugu scripts, based on the treatment the director has done previously for the script, if you are satisfied with their work and you have confidence in your own script that it can make a mark commercially and give a charismatic feel to the audience. Then you are waiting for a break, every script has its day so dont worry about the delay it takes.
If not today some business group will be accepting it somewhere down the line, there are many producers who have creative directors but are looking for some sort of good scripts that are readily available.
If you have confidence on the script leave out the casting to the Producer and Director as they are the experienced people who can guess the market standards.
But dont be so flexible, if you feel something is not good go for it, else you will be like a typical critic who cries over the split over milk.
Next step for you is to catch a telugu movie producer or a banner that accepts scripts. Puri jagan or shekhar kammula have their own banners like Vaishno academy and Amigos respectively similarly there are n-number of movie banners. but dont be desperate to have it done by anybody.
Wait for the right person in order to get the right result, else it will be like a chicken half boiled and served without all the ingredients. Script is only the base flavour, there are other required flavours to be added by the right people starting from director, cameraman till the distributor.
if all are added in the right quantities, then it makes what is called a good telugu film from a good telugu script.

Telugu Script Writing

Mar, 23 '08 Subject: Script Writing by Pradeep, Viewed by: 2153

Hey Some good news for telugu script writers
The websites like
passion for cinema has started the script sections in their websites which can give a fair outlook of how the scripts are being written in the telugu and hindi movie industry. Are they good or pathetic..it can be very well judged.. kudos to the creative masters who are sharing their hard work over the web.
Based on the training course material and the examples that were shown, i have drafted few of my own conclusions of how a standard script has to be written before registering at some of the places.
The standard format of writing the telugu script has 4 sections

  1. Scene Header
  2. Scene direction
  3. Dialogue
  4. Camera

Example:
Camera: Fade in ; Fade out ; Cut In ; cut out
Scene Header: Unknown house Sieberra Day
Scene direction indicates the path the camera will follow based on the story line, this is the initial scene before a dialogue starts
Dialogue
it has 3 parts: Expression, Actual word and narrator
So repetition of the same set in a sequential manner will generate the script, usually a script would consist of somewhere around 200 - 250 scene headers and the script would be somewhere around 140 -150 pages.
Once the script is developed before giving to the production manager, it is a good practise to indicate the locations and the period of the script.
In the summary of the script it should indicate
whether the telugu script is a Family Drama/Romance/Action Thriller
what would be the time period of the script
What is the cast?
What are the different locations that the picture would require how many indoors and how many outdoors?
What is the assumed cost of the project?
Brief summary about the project and outline of the story

Any language script would follow these steps, and would be a good practice to have all of them done before registering the script.

If you are an aspirant telugu script writer you can register your names at some of the
cinechoice , APfilmchambers or at Cine Writers Association.

తెలుగు స్క్రిప్టు రైటర్ - ప్రదీప్ కొలను

Telugu Script writer - Pradeep Kolanu
Been into the process of registering the script, So for the people who are willing to register here is the process to be followed

Go to AP cine writers Association
H.no 8-3-720/9/2
Shalivahana Nagar, Yellareddyguda
Srinagar Colony Post,
Hyderabad -500073

If you are a beginner in the script, then you will be taken as a Associate member, if your name has appeared on the screen before, then you can apply for Life Member. with an amount of Rs 16,000.
Once you pay 8000 then your membership can be upgraded just by paying an other 8000.
Make sure you collect the receipt and the ID card after the amount is paid.
Associate member should pay an amount of Rs 8000, and for every 20 pages of script there is an additional amount of Rs 200.
Once the script is shown, a registration form is given so as to fill it with the name of the script.
Scripts are only registered on Saturdays between 4:00pm to 6:00 pm

Make sure registration of the script is with some alias name, as the script name is not authorized for the movie name. Your script name can be picked up by any other person and he can take the movie.

If your a member in directors association, then they have to get a xerox copy of their membership along with a clearance letter from their association.
Scripts are classified into following types
Story, Synopsis, Scenic Order, Dialogue script, Shooting script
One of these options have to be selected, before registering the script.

A written proof stating that the script is original and not copied from any other movie or script should be attached with a signature.
If the script is hand written, then handwriting should be the same, and should use the same colour ink. If it is DTP the font should be of same size and type.

There should not be any blank paragraphs or any over writing in the script, or any additional attachments in between

The whole script will be registered only once, and any installment wise registrations are not allowed.

Then the writer has to fill the registration book, and sign it.

Once the registration is done, the script is then shown to the producer and the director.
These 3 people have to go to AP film chamber of Commerce at Jublie hills, just by the side of mohan babus house
There an other application form will be given with an affidavit on which producer, writer and director will be signing up.
A bank balance of min 3 lakhs have to be shown, as a fixed deposit. Then the AP film chambers will register a banner, for the cost of Rs 15,000.
After every 6 months the update has to be sent in the form of a cd or photographs that indicate that shooting is taking place for this banner, failing which the banner will be allocated to another producer.


So ive just started the journey, I will keep my blog updated based on the things i do.
First starting of with one script, let me see how can i market it for the big screen. LAter i will get the other 3 scripts out of the kiddy bank.

Ok thanks for your time
