Film Script Writing
A script or screenwriting is a very skilled craft, and can take many years to develop. The script gets rewritten many times, before it is perfected, sometimes improvisation is used when the scene is being acted.
The screenplay is a key element during the planning of the film, as it secures funding for the film and helps to set out the vision of the film. The storyline, also known more commonly as the script helps draw in fiancial funding for the film.
Idea formation
1.
1
Start with an idea you love. Every script is based on one solid idea that is the seed of the entire project. It can be something as simple as "boy falls for girl; girl falls for other boy," or as wacky as "what if a man got stuck in a malfunctioning time machine?" Whatever your idea, you must be ready to commit to it 100 percent, and for the long haul. Writing a script, contrary to Hollywood stories and gossip, is not something that is often done in a weekend or even a week. It is a painstaking process that requires a great deal of work, reworking, rewriting and dissection. Therefore, make sure that the idea you choose is one that you feel strongly about. Otherwise, halfway through the process you will become bored and the script will fail.
2
Create a basic three-act structure for your plot idea. This is not the time for details; this is the time for painting in broad strokes. The basic structure you need to form at this point is the inciting incident (the event that happens at the beginning of the movie that sets the story into motion), the first act climax, the second act struggle, the second act climax and the crisis/climax of the third act. Think about your protagonist and antagonist and how you can heighten the conflict between them with each progressive climax. Every obstacle must be greater and harder to overcome than the last. Also, every climax must give the audience something that the protagonist must deal with that they were not expecting,
