Script Writing

When creating a film, it is important that when you come to write the script it has all of the elements needed. If its not in the correct format producers and directors won't even bother looking at your script even if the content is a multi-award winning screenplay. 

A piece of software that I myself have used is Celtex. There are many other pieces of software that do virtually the same thing but this is one of the better ones. 
Celtex is a script writing software that enables you to write scripts in the exact format you would see say the Harry Potter scripts written. 

Here is a basic tutorial on how to set out your film script. It gives you the basics on how to set out your script and the does and don't.
 


So thats how you begin to set out your script. If you remember the basics, Celtex does most of the work for you making sure that you stick to the rules so if you did write a script for a director, they wouldn't throw it away and think nothing of your idea.

Here below you will see a real script of the famous musical 'Les Miserables'. As you will see it is set out in the same format as shown in the video tutorial for Celtex. 

Les Miserables Script

So if you're thinking of writing a script, make sure the format of the whole script is precise and in the exact layout a script should be.
