Script Writing

So I recently started writing the script for my end of year film (I don't have a title yet). I put it off for a little bit because I was nervous incase it was no good since I haven't wrote a script in a while, but when I started it all started to flow, now I'm not saying its great or I'm a natural or even that I'm 100% happy with it... but I am happy with it as a first draft.

So I plan to finish writing the script then give it too a few people to read; see what they think and then re-draft. At this point I think that's what I'm most excited about.

I've already got some pointers from my teacher on how to rite a good script and make it seem authentic, so I just have to apply these tools when it comes to finishing it off.

Some of the notes I got are:
  • Dramatic Question - what is my film saying or about?
  • Goals - what are the goals of your film or even your characters?
  • Characters - Who are they? Flesh them out.
  • How does the central character act or commit to the goal?
  • Give story a start, problem and resolution (Cause and Effect)
I will keep referring to these points while writing/re-writting my script.
