Scriptwriting

 In class we talked about script writing. We also wrote scripts which will probably be shown at the end of today’s blog.

What is a script?

A script is the written text of a play, movie, or broadcast. A script helps the actors know exactly what to do during that scene. A script also helps it make the movie easier to understand and get the concept of. Overall the script is helpful to the directors and to the actors.

What are the steps in creating a script?

Step 1: Craft a Logline

A long line is a very short summary of your story. Usually around 2 sentences. Your longline doesn’t have to be to long but has to be able to generate ideas for your script.

Step 2: Write a treatment 

A treatment is your longer summary. It contains all the ideas you want in your films following your genres conventions. They have to make sense and can be understood just by the summary.

Step 3: Develop characters 

While devolving characters you have to make sure that the people you are thinking in mind to be the characters have to kind of match. Your actor shouldn’t count to much on acting they should count on how they’re truly act and how they can relate to that character. 

Step 4: Plot and Outline

Your plot and outline typically makes up literally most of the the whole movie. Your plot involves the conflict that the characters go through and how they resolve it. These make your audience want to watch the movie so you have to couch’s on making those really good and fun.

Step 5: Create your first draft 

Your first draft helps you better see what to change in your film before actually creating your film. If you don’t first make a first draft you may change your mind many times and make it not only hard for you but also for your actors. Your first draft help take care of the problems like what you like and don’t like. 

Step 6: Take a short break

Honestly stressing yourself out can affect your brain power. Your gonna need to rewrite stuff, find actors, film, and that can bring lots of stress so you should take a couple of hours or a day to just relax so your not using all your brain power.

Step 6: Rewrite

Now comes the part where you rewrite the first draft. This step is where you change things in your script that may be boring or doesn’t make sense. This will help crate your film and let people know what they acting on.



To sum it all up, scriptwriting makes your whole entire film. You should take your time on the script to ensure all the parts can fit into the film and make sense and all follow convention.

Example of big movie companies: Walt Disney, Universal, and 20th century fox, etc.  Production    Production is how you make the film. You have to have an idea, have to write a script, control your budget. Most importantly you have to know your cast. Personally, I believe your cast has to match with each character. When the cast matches each character, they wouldn't have to think too much about acting. You also have to know your budget. The budget will show how much you can spend on everything in total that way you don't go overboard with money. With budgeting comes an investor.
