![]() But by the time I had finally finished it I wasn’t left in awe or terror, I was left…Underwhelmed. I was terrified of IT, but I fell in love with it at the same time.Įven after reading the book, finally gaining the courage to see the 1990 TV movie was still a daunting task. This was my first exposure to this particular genre. ![]() This was before I had seen The Goonies (1985), or any stories similar. The story of a group of kids going out and stopping this evil monster that eats children, instead of some fearless adult hero, was so new to me. Reading certain excerpts from that book that may have been the first time I’ve ever felt truly disturbed. Now of course as I read more and more of IT, I was terrified at times. I managed to find that my Mom owned the book, and, like an idiot who touches a hot stove to see if it burns, I began to read the horror novel to see if it was scary. But for some reason, my curiosity still got the better of me. Now obviously none of this information helped calm my terror in any way. I learned that the clowns name was Pennywise, and that he liked the eat children by pulling them in the sewers. I learned that IT was based on a book by Stephen King. Over the course of time as I became older, I learned a lot about that movie that I couldn’t even bring myself to think about without curling up with fear. And it was the cover featuring the same image you see at the top of this article. However there was one specific VHS case that was something truly special, one that didn’t just fill me with dread as I walked away from it, but instead made me cry out in terror right there in the store. The cases for Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Hellraiser (1987) were two I always avoided after seeing them once. However the majority were just too intense for my precious mind to handle. Certain movies interested to me, I remember Pumpkinhead (1988) in particular was one of my favorites to look at for some reason. Being as young as I was, of course I was curious to occasionally walk by the section just to look at the case. However, conveniently along the walls right near the kids’ section, Blockbuster had setup their rows and rows of horror movies. I first learned about Stephen King’s IT when I was about six-years-old, wandering around Blockbuster and looking for any VHS that had a dinosaur on the cover. StudioBinder's screenwriting software makes this process really easy and allows you to go back to a previous version any time you like using the document revision sidebar.The face you’re looking at above is the face that absolutely haunted my entire childhood, as I’m sure it did many others. The advantage of using online screenwriting programs is that you can access and revisit all of your drafts and revisions. It’s important to get feedback from colleagues and update the script to be the best it possibly can be. Screenplay Revisions Creating a new script versionĪny writer will tell you that there will be multiple revisions to your script. These days, so much is done electronically that this may not seem pertinent but paper and ink cost money!Īlright, now that we’ve got the technical stuff out of the way let’s jump in and see how to script versions in StudioBinder. When a new colored revision is created, and those changes need to be distributed, it is only necessary to re-copy the pages in question. The second purpose of script versions is economical. Without these colored revisions and drafts, how would you ever know you had the latest version of the script? If you know that the script has been revised to the Green Draft, any copies of Blue, Pink or Yellow Drafts are outdated, and therefore useless, versions. So, the first purpose of script versions is purely organizational. The issue is why create a different "version" of the script? Why not just update the draft and call it the current draft? The reason is simple - as screenplays get revised (and they do, a lot!), and get shared across multiple departments, keeping track of the latest version is critical. ![]() But the questions remains: why make script versions in the first place? Script Versions Explained Why make script versions? So, as you can see, there is a system in place for how screenplays get revised and organized.
