70 scenes and you have a film
David Lynch famously shared his formula on creating a movie: it’s just 70 scenes, strung out. I use this strategy utilizing Post-It notes to gauge where in the process I am, for documentaries I am developing: writing a possible scene (an action on screen, or an explanation of a concept by multiple experts) on separate notes, and shuffling them around. Online programs like Miro work great for this too. The second picture I’m attaching shows my current kitchen wall with a film birthing. Definitely not 70 scenes yet!
What do you think - is David right? Is it too easy? Too many scenes? How would you do it?
