Transcript of How to write a script
Script writing has to be done with a lot of patience with the proofing and editing. It will require you to
have the needed knowledge as well as the determination for this type of task. The scripts that we know and have heard from movies and from theaters might seem very simple that but they are all done in a
very careful and mindful manner.
Listed below are the steps on how to write an effective script:
The first thing we need to think about is on how the story would be about. We need to have lots of ideas
for this and make sure that you are writing for a certain purpose. Every story has its main topic or
subject that will be followed all throughout the story until its end. Make sure that you stick to that specific
purpose for your script.
The characters that you have are the ones to bring life on the script. Make sure that they are well elaborated. They have to create such an action. It will show how deep the impact of the script is when the characters are being moved
by it. See to it that the characters are being guided by the script.
For every story, there is a kind of map that we are following. It will be the same with the
script. The dialogues have to be in accordance and sequence from the first line
onto the next. This way, our story will not sound messed up. Keep a certain pace and
just keep your ideas subjected to it. The script will naturally flow into action as long as
we have that map to follow.
There are styles that writers use in every script they make. Make sure that yours has a single style to it. That way, when the conversation is going, readers or
viewers will not get confused if they are going to laugh or cry along the way. You
need to focus on one style alone.
The script needs to be in line with the scenes. For example, the characters are in a war scene, and then the dialogues should move around that certain scene
only. A good script writer knows how blend the scenes with the conversations in his script. Try imagining yourself into
the scene and think of the things you will hear in that specific place.
Along the way, just continue to edit and revise what you have written. It will sure to take a lot of that until your whole script
is finished. That is the key for script writing; always with the perfection.
