USING YOUR OTHER SENSES TO CREATE STORYTELLING. Robert Rodriguez, George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino WRITE their SCREENPLAYS listening to MUSIC that sets the tonality of the scenes that they are writing. It is their aural escape mechanism to submerge into the world of the characters. I METHOD WRITE my screenplays. I emerge myself into the world of the characters, becoming the characters. Before I embark on writing a scene, I listen to music that sets the tonality whilst I play the PSP game that closest mimics the scene that I am writing. I eat the food that the characters eat, drink what they drink (within limitation as a Muslim) and do what they do (within legal limitations). For the actions that are illegal, I play the PSP game, to feel the character inside out. For writing the WAR ON TERROR feature screenplay, I actively profile people as does Anand Patel, a terrorist by one mans definition, a freedom fighter by another. When ASIO agents visited me in February this year based on a vexatious report that I am a potential home grown jihadi terrorist: enemy of the state, I profiled the agents and gave them analysis of who they are, based on what I had observed whilst we spoke. My hunch was right, ASIO agents enjoy eating Krispy Kremes. I am currently playing LucasArts THRILLVILLE set in an Amusement Park and SPLIT/SECOND VELOCITY car game on PSP as I have those sequences in WAR ON TERROR feature screenplay. Make STORYTELLING your own unique experience, not a template. When you are UNIQUE, you push beyond the ordinary to create the extraordinary. RIDWAN HASSIM CREATING MAGIC.
