Welcome to your first day of writing a script.
Today you will only write 1-3 words.
You will write your title.
You can change it afterwards of course.
But let’s decide on a temporary title for now.
(Example: It’s just Business)
That’s it for today.
Today we write a bit more.
We will write a whole sentence.
This sentence is the message you want to give to your audience.
It’s the core of your film.
This makes sure your film knows where its going and it gives it a deeper meaning.
(Example: You have to work hard in life, there is no easy way)
That’s it for today.
Today we will write a bit more, we will write a paragraph.
We will write a short treatment.
A treatment is the basic plot of your story.
Example: The protagonist struggles with his work in school. He gets offered an
easy way to achieve his goals. Everything gets out of control, he fails and learns
his lesson.
That’s enough for today.
Today we will outline the story.
You figure out what happens in the beginning, the end and the climax.
You do a list of the scenes you want.
Example:
1. Protagonist in classroom struggling
2. Gets exam results from teacher
3. Looses them
…..etc.
You are done for today.
Let’s get into more detail today.
You will write the outline of every single scene.
So if your first scene is in a classroom you will write what happens in that scene
in as much detail as you can.
Example:
1. Teacher talking in lesson
2. Student not paying attention
3. Teacher asks him a question
4. Student doesn’t know the answer
…. Etc.
That’s it for today.
You have two days to finish the script:
Write every detail
Write all the dialog
Decide where your scenes will be located.
Congratulations, you finished a script in a week.
Don’t worry if you think its bad, I can tell you that it is completely bad.
That’s why it’s called a first draft. You have to refine it and rewrite it a lot.
But at least you have something to work with now.
Good luck
