Film blogging doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, it can be downright easy. A blog is basically a daily diary. As such, it can be written in a conversational style that utilizes comments about storytelling techniques. When writing a blog article about filmmaking or screenwriting, find a film you're familiar with and comment on the film's use of character development, plot structure, dialogue, or pacing.
When structuring your article, create a headline that acts as a statement and encapsulates the subject of your article. For the film, The Amityville Horror (2005), Scriptologist.com used the following headline: Filmmakers Revive Ghosts of Amityville. The subject of the article is the idea of being haunted by horrific events. The article discusses the way in which Screenwriter Scott Kosar structured the screenplay to revolve around psychologically horrifying experiences.
