"On the Real" revolves around six friends with all forms of issues thrown into a reality TV, while managing their vices and keeping secrets.HERE
The web series continues with its fourth episode, and slowly the plot reveals itself.
Here are seven things we learnt from the fourth episode titled "Special Favors":
1. Farida realises Efosa’s girlfriend, Autacould threaten her position on the show.
2. It’s been confirmed - Lolu and Farida are dating. In her one-on-one, she confirms she's dating him and describes herself as his girlfriend.
3. Wana who claims to be Farida’s best friend is hatching a plan to get her kicked off the show. She approaches BJ to help her out and reveals plans to bug her apartment but he wants nothing to do with it.
4. BJ has got a crush and it’s on Amaka. Just after she admits he is her friend and the fact she trusts him makes him special, BJ proceeds to kiss her.
5. Efosa introduces Auta to the group and they are not receptive of her - only Amaka makes an effort. Suddenly, it seems as though the whole crew is not comfortable with this and realise the new addition affects them all.
6. There something about Amaka though as she receives some very secretive calls.
7. We are presented with a cliffhanger at the end of the episode. Sumbo who’s been missing from set all day calls Lolu and his facial expression comes off as though he’s received some pretty bad news

There are certain steps a Nollywood Script-writer needs to take in order to sell his Nollywood movie scripts. Click here to get a concise information e book where a Nollywood insider will help you arrange your script and make it ready for submission and sale to Nollywood producers
The first step is to write a;
Script review and synopsis
Write a brief review and synopsis of the script. The review will tell the producer what to expect when he reads the script. Producers don't have time to read scripts. You only need to compel them to read it. It's the duty of Nollywood insiders to help you out. Just get the concise information e book. A Nollywood insider will help you get the script ready. Just click here to get it.

Just click here to get it.
Literally, some other points you need to take note of as a Nollywood script writer are below. But to make things easier for you, just get this concise information e book. It's from a Nollywood insider to help you arrange your script to get it ready for submission
Continuing with the brief points you might need to take note of;
- You need to have a body of work
- You need to become a real script writer
Screenplay has a lot of components and elements. A real script writer doesn't just write scripts he also studies explicitly those components and elements of screenplay. He goes to the extent of teaching others.
You need to take your time in writing your screenplays. You need to also give in huge effort.
- Create a channel
Note: while doing all these, make sure you promote your work first and not your name. Promoting your name first may mean you are showing off. Just be humble. Nollywood film makers love humble clients. Your audience will also like what you do if you are humble.
Just get the concise information e book. It's better
- Go beyond script writing
Have you ever wondered why only one person in some of the Nollywood movies you have watched did almost all the job? He is the story creator, the writer of the screenplay, the creator of the cast, the producer and the director.
You may call him 'Jack of all trade'. But no; he is not! This person in question went beyond script-writing. He learnt many other things about film-making. This is the kind of movie business we have in nollywood.
An executive producer may not want too much people to get involved in making his film. When too much people get involved, too much money would be spent. As a result, he opts for someone who knows it all.
Try and know it all if possible. You can develop a story, write, re write, do the casting, budget, schedule, direct and produce it. This will increase your chances of selling you screenplays in Nollywood. It will also help you to be in Nollywood full time. You will now become an executive (smiles warmly).
- Be determined to become an independent film maker
This is Nigeria for you. Everybody claims to be a film writer. It will be hard for you to convince a producer or film maker to buy your script when he can just scribble one for himself.
- Attend shows
- Get contacts of people whose jobs are in one way or the other related to film making
- Surround yourself with script writing and film making websites, books, journals, magazines, bulletins and many others
We have good quality movie scripts for you, and We will collaborate with you to make your Nollywood Movie. Send a mail to scriptsandpapers@gmail.com.
Someone said this, ''When I watch a Hollywood movie and see someone cry, it gets me emotional, when I see same in a Nollywood flick I laugh hysterically. I don't seem to get it, I hope I will......someday. #nollywoodnawa''
Someone wrote this, ''I hate Nollywood movies. They look fake. You can easily predict the end ''
Someone said this, ''Nollywood producers are not experienced at all. How can Olu Jacobs having a flash back of 1981 and you see on a bill board along the road ''vote for Ambode for 2015 Lagos governorship'', is that disgraceful? ''
And someone said this again, ''Nollywood can never produce a good action movie, producers and actors can't just handle that #nawafornollywood''
Well, whatever they say or write, I think they are right. But we the movie producers need to prove them wrong. We need to get things right and help our audience say better things about our movies.
Here are tips for Nollywood stake holders to get our Nollywood movies right
- We need to have our audience in mind more than our pockets.
pocket. Audience first! Satisfy your audience first and see them sing the name of your movie
like a song. You'll also see them order for the copies as if they were on a shopping spree. The direct consumers of your movies are your audience and not your pockets. The consumption by the audience will put the money in your pockets.
Audiences are always right, and whatever destructive criticisms they make about your movie, they are right. It's true you can never satisfy everybody, but then you can block all chances of destructive criticisms by producing a movie born out of 'brainstorm'.
- We always need to be inspired.
movie themes. When you want to make a movie with a theme which centers on 'politics', then you must be passionate with the political situation of the economy.
Inspiration is the key to locking up leaky movies with leaky themes. Inspirations mend movies and the hearts that watch the movies. We have to get inspired in order to inspire our audience.
Note: Send a mail to scriptsandpapers@gmail.com. We will collaborate with you to make your Nollywood Movie
- We need to spend reasonable time in our productions.
- We need to be open.
- We need to have a plan.
See some of the processes involved:
- Awareness of the prevalent theme: Just take note of the trending situation at present and decide on the type of movie you would want to make.
- Idea furnishing: Get exposed on the situation and get your ideas furnished
- Story development: Begin to concentrate the ideas to form a story.
- Write the story: Develop the screenplay
- Re-write the screenplay: Re-write the screenplay and make it ready for shooting and production
- Do the casting: Point out the number of characters that are needed
- Do the budgeting: Point out the cost by identifying the elements and objects needed to shoot the movie
- Get sponsors and co producers of need be: Look for persons, media and companies who are willing to partner with you.
- Get certifications: Do the necessary registrations and clearances.
- Reach out to agents and managers who are stake holders in the movie industry
- Contact and negotiate with the actors and actresses: Reach out to their agents and managers.
- Scout the locations: Get permissions from the appropriate authorities for locations to be used for the shooting
- Keep the locations in order: Design the settings
- Schedule the shooting: Manage the timings and dates for the movie shooting
- Have a briefing with the crew members: Assemble the collaborators and decide how and when to commence.
- Commence the shooting.
- The editing should take over after shooting: Production managers should handle things
- Proper productions should set in
- The media involved should start work to publicize the movie
- Organize movie premiers and let the world see your movie
NOTE: The above points are for the separate key players in the Nollywood Movie Making industry - The writer, the re-writer, the casting person, the production manager, the location manager, the director, the editor, the media, the sponsor, the executive producer and the producer.
I'm not encouraging that one person should handle all these himself. I still insist there should be collaboration in moving making. The producer should welcome collaborators.
- We need to be prepared.
- We need not be cheap.
We shall get our movies right, I insist!
