I have a story which I am still coming to fine tune proudly. At basics, I see it as being a modern day fairytale, which from begining to end should span 3yrs more or less. In this time I need to show growth through turmoil but also the passing of time. How does one write the passage of time convincingly and naturally, without it jumping all the time?
I am new to scriptwriting, and have been teaching myself the things I feel are important to my story development, while remembering the necessities of a believable script. This is one thing I have not been able to figure out. I have not been able to find scripts that span a time like this, that dont include a birth or something that obviously spans time, like a seasonal montage, but something else...? Something more storyline driven.
One script I am curious to read is "Love In The Time Of Cholera" with Javier Bardem, but have been unable to find it. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. (I know the film is not what it could have been, but I am still curious to read it...)
I am new to this, and new here and would really appreciate any feedback. I just need a nudge in the right direction or tips of other scripts to read. I am desperate to do this properly and have hit a real writers block. (I have however finally settled on an ending. I now just need to figure out reasoning behind it all. Its complicated, but Im getting there.)
