Express Raja, Super Hit - Thanks everybody

I have been here in Hyderabad since 2011. Telugu Film industry has given everything that what i have today, and made me into a person as what i am today, thanks for that. Today i am very proud to say that, i come from the school of Director Krishna Vamsi garu. I worked with Director Krishna Vamsi garu for almost a year on Mogudu, that was a great learning experience from the master himself. I am thankful to him for giving me a identity and a passport to enter into this industry. It is that knowledge which has brought me here today. I owe him a lot.
All the credit of success goes to Mr. John. E sir, my teacher, who has always been standing beside me, and been showing me the right path, without whom i would have never met Director Krishna Vamsi garu. Thank you sir.
Gandhi is more of a brother than a friend to me. I remember the days when we use to live in a 10 X 10 room for almost a year at Venkatagiri, when we were writing Venkatadri Express. That turned things up side down. Nothing speaks like success, Gandhi brought that very 'success' in to my carrier. Thanks so much brother.
We have come a long way since then. The journey after Venkatadri Express was as fun and  racy as Express Raja. Those two years of working on Express Raja was one of the best experiences i ever had writing a film. I am very thankful to Gandhi for giving a second hit in row, and adding one more success into my story. Thanks machi..
Thanks to everybody for recognising and liking our films. Love you all. Thanks to the Cast and Crew of Express Raja, who really made it happen.
I hope and wish to get  the same love and support from audience for all my future projects. I have three more releases this year as of now Thikka ( starring Sai Dharam Tej garu,  Story and Screenplay, in Telugu), a Hindi film (untitled) and a Marathi film (untitled).
All this would have not been possible without the support of the audience, thanks so much. Love you all.
Thanks to my friends, family and well wishers, for all the love that they have been showering on me all these days. Love you all. Thank you...............

screenplay, a science chapter 1

what is a screenplay ?

There is a lot of confusion among the new film makers and the so called established film makers on what a screenplay is.

It is nothing but a paper work for the film which you want to make.

Will it have all details about the scene ?
will it contain even the camera angels ?
will it have this ? and will it contain that ?

Answer is, a screenplay is the paper work which contains the details and content which can be read and under stood by any one.
Its a film made on paper work.

Example case study 1:

A screen writer writes a screenplay, the production starts and money is invested, exactly on the third day of the shoot the screen writer dies in a car accident.
What happens to the project if he has the screenplay in a format which, only he understands, or in a language only which he knows, the production unit should know what he has written in order to produce the film. In this case the production will stop if the screenplay is in a form which no one other than him understands.

Screenplay is not some sort of a secret code.

So how can every one understand a screenplay, we all from different background and different departments ?

a shoes flower is called kuchi bu in africa,senbaruthi in Tamil Nadu (India), bacjuka in antartica and it has many other names in many other places but its botanical name is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (its a scientific name which is common all over the world, so that every one can understand).

Similarly over the years people all over the world developed different formats to write a screenplay, but there is a standard format which prescribed all over the world which is followed as the standard format for screenplay.

Next chapter will be on what the format is

screenwriting , what and how

Introduction
If you are new to screenwriting, planning to write a screenplay or script of any kind, the good news is that writing in screenplay format is easier and more intuitive today than at any time since first Lanier Word Processing Machine. Advances in screenwriting software now save the hours you would previously have spent learning how to write a screenplay in professional Hollywood format can now be allocated to polishing your plot, honing your dialogue, or learning screenplay structure. Some think screenplay writing is eclipsing the pursuit of the Great American Novel but it certainly isn't any easier. At any rate the making of movies is a collaborative process which demands that those in screenwriting produce a document in particular format, notation, and length called a 'script.'
This overview will begin acquaint you with the screenplay format writing rules and screenwriting etiquette you'll need to know about, and as you browse the following material you may notice the words 'don't', 'avoid' and '...' unless you are directing the movie.' Take that advice to heart. As you become more familiar with the world of screenwriting you'll understand why but for now the scope of this document prohibits a deeper explanation.
Learning how to write a screenplay involves many facets but I hope this basic information will give you a head start on your endeavors, including practical information to help you get your scripts read. And hopefully turned into movies.
