How to write a script should be in the correct format.

The name, time, place and characters of the correctly formatted (1) script are listed at the beginning of the script.

(2) The whole script is in the form of dialogue.

(3) In the middle of the script, brackets are used to indicate the scene at that time, and brackets are used to indicate the actions and demeanor of the characters at that time.

The three elements of the script are: conflict, character language and stage description.

All aspects should be considered in the creative process. To put it simply, to write a good story, you must first conceive your story direction, character relationship, plot climax, theme, etc ... Hollywood in the United States has a set of screenwriter rules: it is the beginning, setting contradictions, solving contradictions, and then setting contradictions and ending. China also has his own scriptwriting rules: starting, inheriting, turning and combining.

Writing taboo

First, write a novel.

Script writing and novel writing are completely different. You should know that the purpose of writing a script is to express a series of pictures in words, so you should let people who read the script see the words, associate them with a picture in real time and bring them into the world of animation. Novels are different. In addition to drawing pictures, it also includes lyrical sentences, rhetorical devices and descriptions of characters' inner world. These shouldn't be in the script.

Secondly, dialogue has increased.

There can't be too much dialogue in the script (unless the plot needs it), otherwise the whole story will become incoherent and lack of action, and the audience will look as if they are listening to the script. You should know that what you want to write now is the film language, not the literary language. Therefore, an excellent movie script, the less dialogue, the stronger the picture sense and the greater the impact.

Third, there are too many details in the story.

Many people write scripts with too many details, and there are many characters in the details, interspersed with many fields, which makes the story complicated. The audience may not understand and know what the author wants to express. Imagine if a movie has more than a dozen important characters at the same time, and there are many stories among the characters. You can ask the audience to remember each character so clearly in a short time.
