What makes a character truly authentic? If you are going to be a writer– whether for film, fiction or any narrative form– you will want to ask yourself: what is vernacular, and why does it matter? Vernacular language grounds your story in authenticity. It is more than just how people talk, it is the difference between characters who feel like real people and those who sound like they stepped out of a 16th century phrasebook. Before we dive into examples, let’s define vernacular clearly, then explore how it transforms storytelling. --- > A fallacy, as used in the realm of logic and argumentation, refers to a flawed argument or reasoning that appears superficially sound. - Published: 2025-07-17 - Modified: 2025-07-17 - URL: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-a-fallacy-definition/ - Categories: Scriptwriting Have you ever found yourself in a conversation or disagreement, scratching your head at the other person's reasoning?

Is it a character who wears tin-foil on their head? Wait no, that’s Joaquin Phoenix in Signs. Foil characters exist to expose something in the main character of a story. You may have heard the term in reference to the works of William Shakespeare, but he’s not the only writer who uses them. We’re going to show you some examples of foil characters from literature, film, and television. By the end, you’ll know how to recognize foils from a mile away and perhaps hatch an idea for your own foil character. --- > A showrunner is like the conductor of an orchestra, guiding multiple writers and directors while keeping the show's vision intact. - Published: 2025-06-20 - Modified: 2025-07-03 - URL: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-a-showrunner-definition/ - Categories: Producing, Scriptwriting - Tags: American Gods, American Horror Story, Big Little Lies, Breaking Bad, Community, Dead to Me, Dear White People, Fargo, Game of Thrones, Glee, Hollywood, Homecoming, Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, The Office, The Simpsons, True Detective, Westworld Television shows have a lot of moving parts — almost every show employs numerous writers and directors.

Here is the entire joker movie controversy explained. - Published: 2025-06-14 - Modified: 2025-06-24 - URL: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/joker-movie-controversy/ - Categories: Directing - Tags: Joker, The Dark Knight, Todd Phillips Joker Script Download Best Joker Actors Joker Controversy Joker Movie Review Todd Phillips’ Joker (2019) sparked considerable controversy leading up to its release. Joker deals with many thematically disturbing elements — mental health, political violence, and an “incel”-like protagonist. Despite these concerns surrounding the Joker movie controversy, the movie did not inspire violence. Quite the opposite actually. So now, looking back, perhaps we can analyze the Joker movie controversy to see if there are any lessons for filmmakers. Taking a look at Phillips’ and Scott Silver’s script, what can we as screenwriters learn about creating pathos for the psychopaths in our stories?

I suppose in some sense that perspective was well-warranted. Although Welles received a lot of acclaim during his life, particularly for writing, directing, and starring in Citizen Kane, he never got the respect many contemporary critics suppose he deserved. Welles’ career was plagued by studio censorship, personal vendettas, and a desire for perfectionism. But still, Welles endured making more than a dozen movies, as well as more than a dozen unfinished movies. We’re going to rank the Best Orson Welles movies – of course including Orson Welles first film Citizen Kane. By the end, you’ll know more than just Orson Welles first film – you’ll know how a vagabond kid became one of cinema’s most respected leading-figures.
