@Walt The traditional Haiku metre is a myth that's not really upheld in their Western adaptations anymore nowadays. The Japanese morae are far more regular and short than the English syllables. What amounts to exactly 17 morae in a Japanese Haiku would actually be ~10-13 syllables in English, but the truth is in Western lagnuages it's just not that strict as the good old 5-7-5 anymore. As long as it has ~<=17 syllables it fits quite well.
The content guidelines are much more important than any overly rigid (and mistranslated) structural requirements. If in doubt, ask the StackExchange. ;-)
 
9:11 AM
@NapoleonWilson And this has WHAT to do with movies & TV within the scope defined in the help center?!
I'm kidding, that's very interesting.
So what should a good Haiku contain?
 
@Walt Well, it's hard to say clearly and is probably not too restricted that much either. But roughly, it should probably contain concrete stuff, written in present tense. Less metaphorical, which doesn't mean it can't have an additional layer in its meaning, but it should not throw around too abstract concepts and ground itself rather in observational things...
...Likewise is it a good idea to combine two not directly related images, but also not directly combine them but rather let the reader combine them in his mind. A haiku seems more to be about what the reader can make of the text himself. (which is good, since it deosn't really allow much elaboration anyway ;-))
But of course I'm absolutely no expert either and probably by far not the most creative person at all. But that's the good thing with a haiku, it doesn't require that much effort to write three friggin' lines and I don't really care if they're literary masterpieces or not.

Matthew StevensonSo in season one of Game of Thrones Ser Jorah Mormont tells Dany that "when Aegonn Targaryen conquered the six kindpgdoms he didn't do it because he had a right he did it because he could". This of course struck me as odd considering that there are seven kingdoms, later though it is conveyed, I t...

Q: Are there any existing animation templates for movie graphics?

NiemandI was recently watching the newest Hunger Games movie. There was a scene when Katniss walked out of a bunker for hunting and she saw a deer that was not afraid of her. What got me thinking, was that the deer was clearly not a real animal, but a rendered animation. Is it really cheaper to render ...

Q: A question about a scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier

ALANWhen Black Widow kissed Captain America in the shopping mall to avoid getting caught, Black Widow asked him if he still feels uncomfortable while Captain said: "It's not exactly the word I would use." What did he mean? Did he mean he has some old-fashioned way to say that he was uncomfortable?

Q: Why do studios release multiple trailers?

AnkitSome time back, I saw the trailer for Jurassic World. And I liked it. It built the anticipation and curiosity. But then there was trailer-2 which revealed more scenes, more creatures.
