Q: Story outlines don't have to be formal or involve any Roman numerals (although they can if you want). Storyboards are typically used to help you get a sense of what shots you'll need to film later in the process, and to get a comic book-style visual theme for the film down as you're writing. Briefly sketch out what will happen physically in the story and the basic dialog. Film is a visual medium of telling stories so don't rely purely on dialogue to tell the story. In good stories, the outline should be explicit about the outer story, though the inner story should be implied. . When you've got the basic elements of the story down like you want it, then you can fill in the rest with a more closely scripted treatment, with all the dialog and the stage directions you want to include in your film. Try to make it as specific as possible, so someone else would be able to film it and see it as you see it. You probably have some idea of where you want your story to go, but Try to save room for surprising yourself as you actually do the writing. If you're locked into a particular direction for your short film, it may come off as unsurprising and expected to the audience, as well. As you're writing, try to take it in a direction that you're not sure of. Let happy accidents happen and follow them to other, more interesting conclusions. That's how good stories get written. Francis Ford Coppola filmed the sequel to The Outsiders, called Rumble Fish, without having written a script until the day the scene was to be shot. None of the actors had any clue what was going to happen next, giving the film a spontaneous and experimental feel. Once you've put a script together, show it to some friends, or to some people who share your love of film and who'll be able to offer constructive criticism. Hear them out and try to revise your script as much as possible. Some filmmakers work on scripts for years, which are then in production for years after that. Making a film is a long process for a reason. Try to show your script to potential collaborators, as well. Actors, producers, potential directors. Show your script to people who can help. Not every idea will work right now. Keep a folder where you keep your ideas and let them generate into future scripts. Some filmmakers have an idea and don't get a movie made for decades. Scorsese's Gangs of New York had been discussed as a possibility for over 30. Keep your ideas around for times that they might be more workable. Keep your little sketches organized according to the following elements: Characters Locations Plots Structure
A: Outline your story. Write a script Let yourself be surprised. Seek constructive criticism. Start an ideas folder.

Q: Once you have all of the software you need for your radio station, you'll need to figure out how many people you want in your audience. This will affect the size and type of server you need. It's probably best to start with a smaller number and change it if the radio station becomes more popular. Ten is usually a good start. Once you know how many people you want to broadcast to, you can calculate the amount of bandwidth your radio station requires. High quality mp3 broadcasts require an upload speed of about 192 kilobits per second (kpbs). Multiple this by the number of listeners you expect (or want). This will give you your radio station's required bandwidth. So, for example, if you want 10 listeners, your bandwidth would be 10 x 192 = 1920 kbps. Most home internet connections have a maximum upload speed of around 500 mbps. This means you could really only broadcast to about two people, and you would be using up most of your upload speed on the station. If this is the case, you might want to consider getting a separate server. They cost around $6 per month for an ad-free option. You can also use a free server, but these will give your listeners ads. Some will just show the ads in their web browser instead of interrupting the audio coming from their radio station. Check out FreemStreamHosting.org for one example. For your radio station to stream to the external server, you'll need some information from the host. Make sure you get their IP address or URL, correct port number, stream password, and server type (usually Shoutcast for an external server). You'll need to plug this information in later. To get your server up and running, you'll need to edit the configuration menu to make sure that the server broadcasts your audio from the correct files. Open your server app (ShoutCast for an external server or IceCast2 if you're using your home server), and click "Edit Configuration." Then change some of the information within it. The "sources tag" should list your maximum audience size, the "source-password" should be the password for your stream app (EdCast in this example), and the "hostname" tag should be your IP address. Set the "port" tag to 8000. For the IP address, you'll either need to enter your own IP address if you're broadcasting from your home server, or the IP address of your external server. You should get the external server address from your server host, and you can find your own IP address at WhatsmyIP.net Once you're done editing, click save. You should save the server configuration as icecast.xml or shoutcast.xml in the IceCast2 or ShoutCast root directory. When you're saving, this will come up as C:/ProgramFiles/icecast2 or C:/ProgramFiles/shoutcast. Once you have your server configured, you'll need to start it up to prepare it for your radio station. Open your server app and click "start server" in the app's main window.
A: Estimate size of audience. Calculate your required bandwidth. Consider a dedicated radio station server. Get the server's host's information. Edit the server's configuration menu. Save the server configuration. Launch your server.

Q: Sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, is considered such when your sexual urges and impulses begin to negatively impact your life. If you begin to feel overwhelmed by your sexual impulses, consider finding a counselor who can help you develop a treatment plan. Some warning signs to look out for include: Considerable money spent finding ways to fulfill your sexual needs (for example, buying pornography, visiting strip clubs, or hiring sex workers) Feeling driven to engage in sexual behaviors, but deriving no pleasure from them Damage to interpersonal relationships, including those with intimate partners Finding yourself having to apologize often for your behavior. Engaging in risky sexual behaviors that can cause both physical and interpersonal problems (for example, having sex without a condom, or having sex with an employee) A large amount of time spent searching for sexual gratification, and/or a loss of productivity related to such Consider finding a counselor who specializes in sexual addiction. To find a therapist, you may wish to consult your doctor, contact your employer's Employee Assistance Program, ask for a referral from your local community health agency, or do your own online research. You may want to find a counselor who has a S-PSB (Specialist in Problematic Sexual Behaviors) or CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) certification. These certifications show that the counselor has received training in sexual behavior causes and treatments. Therapists are trained to be open-minded, nonjudgmental, and accepting of other people's problems. Do not feel embarrassed or ashamed that you need to seek professional help. Therapists are also bound to confidentiality laws, and will protect your privacy, so long as you are not at risk of harming yourself or others, or you report abuse or neglect. There are several sexual addiction support groups that all have similar, 12-step program models (similar to the model of Alcoholics Anonymous). These meetings can provide you with support, hold you accountable in your recovery, and give you a structure to work toward and meet your goals. To find a meeting location near you, you can visit these groups' websites: Sex Addicts Anonymous: https://saa-recovery.org/ Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous: https://saa-recovery.org/ Sexaholics Anonymous: https://www.sa.org/
