Earth Time Isn't What It Reads Like

Earth Time Isn’t What It Reads Like

It may read like I’m writing about Earth time being between
(Time of Day) in some of my Establishing Shots. And that is what I’m doing. But it’s not because Water Wars is an Earth-type movie and series. Even though once it’s sold it will probably be about Earth colonizing Poulask. Unaware that "fish people" already live there. And when the "fish people" don’t want to share their planet that’s when war breaks out.

That isn’t true. They aren’t fish people. It is true that they are humans. But they aren’t from Earth. They are from Poulask. The reason why I’m using Earth time in my script is that the scripts will be filmed here on Earth. If they were to be done on Poulask, then they would be written as Poulask time instead of Earth time.

I would prefer to write the Time of Day in the Scene Headings. But I can’t do that. It either needs to be Day or Night. Unless it has to do with Outer Space. Then I use Space. I write that for two reasons. One is that is the standard for scriptwriting. And two it would be hard to fit them in the Scene Heading and keep it within sixty characters long.

Does all of this make any sense to anyone else but me? I have tried to explain it. But I probably haven’t done a very good job of it. While I was working on my script for the second part of the movie for my Water Wars scriptwriting project, I realized how it reads. So, I decided that I would try to explain why I’m doing it. It all has to do with the filming Time of Day. Not the Time of Day on Poulask.

That’s enough of that. Either I have explained it or not. Now comes the bad news. I only got six scenes written. Three are numeric scenes. And three are Establishing Shots. Two of the Establishing Shots have a Time of Day within it. I didn’t really feel like writing yesterday at work. Between work being extremely busy and how I was feeling, I forced myself to get any writing done. Even if it was only a few scenes written.

The first half of my shift I let my feelings win. Then in the second half, I forced myself to do it. So, in a way, I did do a very good job when it comes to my writing. After all, I did those six scenes in four hours. And that’s good. At least I think that it is.

Right now, I don’t feel too much like working on this project. But I hope that it will change by the time I get to work today. If it does, who knows how many scenes I will get written today. It may be about ten. Give or take a little. Then again, if it’s like yesterday, I may be lucky if I get another three or five written.
