The movie industry has all sorts of technical terms for events related to writing screenplays.
- wodenokoto 3y agoOkay, so what kind of event does this term relate to?
- toyg 3y agoIt's basically a meeting between writers, directors and producers, to come out with the story structure and main points. The UK Writers Union's "Showrunning in the UK" guide defines it as a "brainstorming session where non-writing producers will ultimately make the creative decisions [...]. In the UK, it’s commonly used in producer-led continuing drama." I honestly don't know how common it is to record it, rather than just having minutes of it written down by some assistant.
- matt-attack 3y agoIf you listen to the whole thing, I think it becomes pretty obvious why they record it. They're just constantly riffing ideas, constantly. Then this will happen, no then this, yeah and then this, etc etc. I would never trust a normal assistant to "keep notes" that are usable for something like this. A recording would seem to be mandatory in order to revisit ideas.
