Summaries of Script Writing


According to the video " How to write a compelling script", there are six tips the author giving me. Firstly, I need to have a well-formed plot to give previous events built on one another events. Secondly, I should have characters. Every script should have characters that are complex and active. Next, the characters should have dialogues or the script would be dull. Then, I should think about if there is any musical elements that I can use. Finally, I could have some spectacle elements to wow the audience. In short, with the previous-mentioned methods, I believe that I can write a great script.

According to the video "Scriptwriting" by Sean Ashin, I learn some tips to write a screen script by the several experts in the video. First of all, a woman writer encourages that to keep writing is important. No matter what difficulties you face, you should try your best to put new things in your brain and never stop writing. Then, he shows me what I should notice when writing a professional screenplay, such as the dialogues, settings, props, and customs, which are all planning tools. And, I also learn some things about the form of a professional script. In short, by this video, I do understand more about writing a screen play.


After watching the two films, I think there are some differences between them. For one thing, the first video mainly focuses on how to write a script rather than the second one which pays a lot emphasis on the film script. For another, the first one gives me a simple and clear outline of how to write a script; while the second video is made up of several interviews by experts and students, which is more complicated. Third, I feel the first video is easy to understand and it doesn’t make me feel scared of writing a script. However, the second video is more professional and makes me know that it is difficult to write a good screen script. In conclusion, a good script is the soul of a good drama or a good film. To be able to write a good script, beside the tips mentioned above, I should keep writing and thinking rather than just dreaming.
