Script research

To help me write the script for our film, I have done some research into script writing so that the script is the best it can be. To produce it, I shall use the programme Celtx.
- A script is a document that outlines every aural, visual, behavioral, and lingual element required to tell a story. 
It is crucial to remember that film is visual. You don't tell your audience your story, you show them. You must write what they will see and what they will hear.
Also, the layout is important. Every name, location, action etc. must be in the correct place in the script. (Celtx assists in this area, however).

The elements for a script are:

  • Scene Heading
  • Action
  • Character Name
  • Dialogue
  • Parenthetical
  • Extensions
  • Transition
  • Shot
