Script Writing Inspiration

In preparation for our script writing, I carried out a few research through BBC and other blogs that will help our group to do the script. 

There's one blog that I thought that was really helpful for the script writing and it's a blog from Scott Myers who wrote movies such as K-9, Alaska and Trojan War. In his blog, he stated a 'formula' about three things to do which is to: read some scripts, watch movies and write pages. He stated it in what I feel was very simplified that it is easy to understand. He also advised some few tips in prepping a story such as:

  • Do a genre study of several scripts in a row in one genre
  • watch a movie and do a scene-by-scene breakdown 
  • Research
  • Brainstorm
  • Character development
  • Plotting
In addition, I also found the BBC very helpful in preparation for our script writing as it gives some  essential advices that we need to consider while we are writing our script and this includes:
  1. Introduction
  2. Developing an idea
  3. Form and format 
  4. Character
  5. Beginning
  6. Middles
  7. Endings
  8. Scenes 
  9. Dialogues
  10. Re-writing
I also found some few examples of some script that we can have as an inspiration in writing our script.
