Screenplay and Us#1

Act One:(The Intro)

Making movie or imagining a scene, we often do that. Even sometime we tried to write script or screenplay, may be one of those become screenwriter but there is a point to note that we face a lot of indecision how to start it. Well read the rest I think you can find out the structure and some basic rules. Actually there is no rules but please try to make it Real for Reel. 

Act Two: (The Basic Problems)

So now come with the so called Basic. Actually I am also a screenwriter but it wasn't easy for me to start the journey. I faced a lot of troubles actually the world is full of lot of troubles. So, I noted this problems  in beginning and I think you face the same,

1. Plot
2. Proper Structure. 
3. Software (Wait ! script writing have a software? Let me explain!) 

 

“I could be just a writer very easily. I am not a writer. I am a screenwriter, which is half a filmmaker….But it is not an art form, because screenplays are not works of art. They are invitations to others to collaborate on a work of art.”   

– Paul Schrader

Act Three: (The Basic Solutions)

Okay! Now come to the solutions.....

1. Plot

 Plot is the basic things to write a screenplay or script for TV, Movie etc. But there should be a plot. The plot could be anything you notice surround you but remember what I say? Plot should be Real for Reel.  So, make sure that you have a plot and that is realistic. 

e.g.  A blind man got angry on someone after while that person got murdered. 

A blind man is maybe blind in front of society but even he is not blind. So he could murder anyone. 

Note that, the example I gave that is realistic if you think. 

So, please ensure a realistic plot no matter how hard the situation is. 

2.Proper Structure
