The New Karate Kid movie was a great and entertaining movie. It was different than the old one, but it was unique and very entertaining. This one was just as meaningful. Jackie Chan took Pat Morita’s place as the mentor to the younger kid who needs to learn a form of martial arts.

The first Karate Kid was based in America and around Karate. The new one is based in China and the teacher is Jackie Chan who teaces Jaden Smith Kung Fu. Just as the first movie is plotted, Jaden is experiencing trouble with the kids at school. They dont like him and pick on him. The kids all know kung fu and beat up Jaden because he is different and likes a girl that is one of the bullies friends.

Jackie Chan succeeds in teaching Jaden Kung Fu so he is able to fight in a tournament against the other kids. The other kids have a master that teaches them to have no mercy and to punish their enemy. He does not teach morality and kindness to the kids. This makes them confused at while real Kung Fu is about. Jackie Chan teaches that all of life is Kung Fu and that its in everything we do.

In the end, Jaden prevails in the kung fu tournament and wins against the other kids. They all show their respect for him and his teacher at the end. The movie is a great watch. It is a bit longer than the other ones, but its good overall. I recommend going to see this at the theater, or buying it when it comes out on DVD. Its a great one to add to your collection. If you don’t have the old ones, you can wait and buy them all together to save some money on the set.

Time was when movie makers used hand-written scripts for movies, but times have changed and screen writing has become an organized profession, it is a creative process. The movie screenplays need formatting, so that actors are able to read the script and play their part assigned to them.

Many talented people, the technicians, artists, production executive’s work as a team for making a movie, all of them require a properly formatted script, a screenplay cannot be used for movie making unless a formatted script is not available. The process of converting a screenplay into a formatted script begins with first breaking down the screenplay into a time schedule that includes the number of days and nights of filming required.

The film may have different sequences, a formula that experts use is one film script page will require one minute of film, and this calculation helps them to schedule the filming accordingly. The movies have a rhythm of story telling that have a blend of action, camera techniques, music and sound effects and dialogue. The formatted movie script allows the professionals involved in the production to foresee the direction the movie will follow.

The screenplays consist of 110 to 130 pages when formatted, and after filming the script, the running time of the movie is close to two hours, this is where formatted scripts play an important role in movie making. The standardized script formatting allows movie makers to handle multiple projects simultaneously.

The formatted screenplay printed copies are on white paper with black ink. The fonts used are 12 point Draft Courier or 12 Point Courier New. The rewritten parts of the printed script are on colored paper, and every time new content added to the scripts is on a different colored paper, the transcripts start with white followed by blue, pink, green, yellow, goldenrod, and salmon. There are transcription companies that specialize in preparing formatted movie scripts.
