I've seen a lot of discussion around the director's cut and have seen very general overviews of things added to the movie in most of the discussion; however I haven't seen a place where every detail was outlined. This was originally just a comment I left in a thread but I figured I'd make a post as the showings become less frequent and there may still be people interested in knowing everything that can't wait for the release.
• Dani confronting Christian about Sweden is longer. She begins to apologize profusely for being paranoid and overreacting which leads to Christian inviting her and him telling her she ruined the surprise as the invite was meant to be "romantic"
• The car ride in Sweden is longer. Mark says he saw a woman with 3 clits online, Pelle asks Josh if he was sympathetic to Hiroshima, The Trail of Tears, and slavery, all of which he says yes to. Then Mark says something about someone being bludgeoned with a frying pan. This is a montage, showing Dani in various positions and states of consciousness and during this, Dani gets a text from someone wishing her an early happy birthday. EDIT: Afterwards she notices Josh holding a book titled "The Secret Nazi Language of the Futhark Uthark." (Corrected by /u/ItsMeVixen, Futhark and Uthark are different)She questions this, he tells her to ask Pelle, he says that Josh just carries it around to annoy him as their language is based off of the ancient runic alphabet. (Clarifications by /u/TorontoHooligan)
• EDIT: The fire pit that the attetstupa'd elders are burnt on is given backstory. Pelle says that it has been burning, essentially, forever and it is their job to keep it burning. A group of Hårga walk by it carrying, I believe, food and one man steps out of line to throw some in while the rest continue to walk by. (Thanks /u/TorontoHooligan)
• There's a new meal scene that happens after the opening ceremony and they do the first skål. They're seated mostly on the ground in the shape of the R runic symbol. Mark attempts to eat his food before anyone else, Josh stops him. An elder sings, Pelle tells Dani and Christian he's thanking the earth for everything it provides. Josh didn't hear, asked Pelle to repeat himself, and Pelle said he'd let Josh know later. Christian then asks if it's praying, Pelle says kinda but not totally. EDIT: Josh asks Pelle for a translation, Pelle says he'll get it from the guy singing, and Christian leans over and says "Oh yeah, that'd be great, thank you Pelle.

Hey guys, I'm looking for outlines for the film production courses. I'm not currently enrolled but was planning to familiarize with the materials in advance. If i can be provided with just the outlines, and i'll just research the material covered from there. Thanks!

I've never written a plot outline nor read one before and I just want to see what a good one looks like?
I’ve got a very loose idea for a character and I want to flesh him out in an outline. I just don’t know where to start. I’m pretty new to screenwriting and this is my first solo project. Any advice would be helpful. And if there is already a thread for this please direct me there.
Hey! Like the title suggests, I'm looking for a shooting script from a movie that mainly utilized improv.
I know some movies script out general descriptions of scenes, and some do write loose lines - but I can't seem to find any examples of this.
Thank you so much for your help!
Preface: I teach HS English and am a stickler for outlines in an academic context. I often argue that the small amount of "extra" work up front saves mountains of time and headaches in the end, plus you'll end up with a better end product. So of course I brought that mentality to my writing.
The problem, I realized after having published two novels and am finishing up my third, was that I was using the same outline structure I would use for an essay and that TOTALLY doesn't work (at least as well as I thought it would).
So the basic essay structure is split up into different sections. The idea being as concise and specific as possible. A skeleton or framework of the bigger work. I mimicked that for my writing. But what it really boiled down to was a fancy looking plot diagram - which works to a degree.
The problem that I ran into over and over again with the traditional outline was that there were too many blind spots that I had to wing on the spot. I assumed that I would piecemeal the parts together during the drafting process. So I would write, then delete, then write, and delete and so on.
The reason, I finally realized, was that when drafting, I was focused on both style and plot (note that this is why people say first draft worst draft. What they're actually saying is that your first draft should focus entirely on plot elements and subsequent drafts focus on style). I kept spinning my wheels in the mud.
So I dropped back and tried something a bit different. I went old school. Grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a scene by scene detail of what happens in the chapter I was stuck on. It got me out of my hole instantly. I detailed the remainder of the book this way. When everything was said in done, I had about 15 pages front and back hand-written of the entirety of my book (think like you were reading a chapter summary on Sparknotes - that's what it read like).
The reason this works is that when I go to open Google Docs or whatever, I don't have to focus on plot at all. That's already been done for me. Instead I focus on style. So on my paper it might say "Timmy walks to school while daydreaming about his crush and realizes he forgot his lunchbox" on the first line. I'll then start focusing on the stylistic way of delivering that (to me, the fun part of writing). Then I'll highlight it on my paper which I now treat as a checklist.
The end product is so much better. Yes, obviously, I still have to revise, but this, for me, allows me to focus on oth
