Today I researched how to write a screen play. I read through the book “Scriptwriting; A practical manual” by Dwight V. Swain. I read how to structure a script and how to begin to write my own. However I felt let down by this book it did not help me in ways that I would have hoped. I was hoping to see some actual scripts and for the author to go through them bit by bit explaining how the script was laid out. With this let down in mind I decided to take my research to the next level. I search on Google for the script of one of my favourite movies “Garden State”. After about a twenty minute search I finally found a PDF file that was put onto a website for educational purposes. http://www.simplyscripts.com
I began to read through the “Garden State” script and started figuring out myself how to actually write my own script. Seeing the layout of this script and in the same stage it was to start filming was an amazing find and it has helped me a lot.
For “The Meeting” so far I have my ideas done, a basic character description for my main characters and also a first draft of the plot summary. I plan on having a start on my script done in the next couple of days.
