Staring on the creative process

The hardest part of any project is summing up the initial idea for your script. Making sure it has at least a skeleton; the core element of what you are trying to say and  what you want the audience to see. This in turn will shape the style of the film/short.
 The amount of detail that goes into every character should be carefully considered whether it's a short or a feature. Talking it over with your friends and colleagues is a great way to find holes in your characters and story from a fresh pair of eyes as it is easy to get bogged down with your story and hanker after visuals more than storytelling. Make sure that the beginning and end of the story have a clear link and are equally strong. There's nothing worse for an audience than the feeling of being let down. They want to feel satisfied that they've watched something more than just a title. If you find a hole in your story rethink it and don't get too stuck thinking that it must be exactly as you see it, that is not until you have that satisfied feeling yourself that you have the three basics; Beginning, middle and end but not necessarily in that order.Does it have a tale to tell, how strong is that tale and what is the outcome.
Yes I am talking to myself!
