rules of speech for anyone in film

So I belong to this film maker forum and although there are many people on there doing what they are talking about there are many just talking. So I have to comment.
Words and phrases that should not exists in a filmmakers vocabulary this includes actors writers directors etc.


I intend, I am going to, I will, I hope to
Try instead here is what I’m doing and this is when it will be done. Or try Next week at or on this date there is an audition or is the completion of the script etc. Tomorrow never comes don’t say you are going to do something just make a plan and do it.

I’m looking for
instead try Iam holding interviews this day or audtions this day

Working on
This means you are searching for resources or you are advertising the two get crossed if you are just adverstising for resources try here is where I’m at this is what I need. now if you are just advertising to advertise that you are working on something try finishing it and now you can say here it is or coming on this date look for!.

When talking about shooting or making a movie when, where make deadlines and die to keep them otherwise your project that should have taken 3 months will float out into oblivian.

Granted I’m guilty of using some of the above phrases but I intend to I mean I’m going to I mean I ‘m working on not using them.
