My passion in writing!

Before I really commence with my inscription let me not forget to remind all the readers that I am not a professional writer nor a scholar but just a passionate writer.  It is my keen interest and great aspiration to write scripts and lyrics and at times acting as well. And I also would like to eloquent my deepest gratitude for eyeing on my writing. So far I have written three Bhutanese Movies and a BBS serial. However with this very modest knowledge and experience let me share something about my way of scripting.

Okay……  no matter who you are If you are an enthusiastic writer, go ahead with your writing, think that you are the next  shakesphere and you want to write a script to showcase your talents. Before you really begin writing your script you must have a story  or rather a synopsis of your story. Come up with lots of ideas of what you want to happen in the movie. Create the premise and purpose of the story. What are the circumstances and what are the goals of the stories and main characters involved. Your characters will drive the action on the screen, so make sure you make them interesting and innovative. Create an outline before you begin actually writing dialogue and script, it might help to create a basic roadmap of what will happen in your story. Sketch out a general plan and envision how events will unfold. Maintain your style. Remember, scripts are all about action and dialogue. Make sure your characters speak realistically, and try not to mix styles of speech and vocabulary too much unless you are going for a certain effect. Ensure that different characters have their own 'voice' based on their background, which will affect their word choices and dialect. This will stop your characters from blending into one another. Set the scene. Don't forget to include important details such as time of day, setting, and actions of the characters in the scene. These are nearly as important as the dialogue that occurs.

Continually revise your writing and if possible show the script to a friend or adviser who has writing experience and can critique and improve the script as needed. With all these basic format and script writing techniques, you can create a finely presented script that most producers will at least begin to read. However, without quality content, your script is likely going to be shoved to the side of the table. Writing a script is difficult work. By planning ahead and following some basic rules, you can be one step ahead of your fellow authors. It may seem boring, but the familiar techniques behind creative writing are likely to be noticed. Always invent your characters and place them in an environment. Even the best told stories will fail if the characters seem more like objects than interesting people. Characters should change as the story progresses. It may be tempting to add humor with an unchanging character stuck in a changing environment but the character must finally see the folly of his/her ways toward the end of the story for the humor to be effective. Always research your characters. Do not be afraid to change few things to create variety but stick to things that people will generally associate with.

When writing your script mention the headings and the character names. While the dialogue should be centered on the page, the heading must cover up the location descriptive instruction. Include camera angles where necessary but avoid the use of emotional instructions as actors and directors prefer to interpret the script in their own way. Many scripts are written in three act structural development i.e. the beginning of the story for back story and character introduction, the middle for conflict and the end for resolution. To accomplish this they introduce the main character early and allow time for the viewer to understand how the character thinks and reacts to different situations. But remember everything should progress systematically and fluently. The conflict portion of the script is typically placed in the middle and should be the longest part of the script. While introductions and resolutions are interesting, the real material possibilities are almost always with the protagonist's conflict. In this way viewers can see how a series of events lead to conflict rather than just introducing a problem with no reasoning behind it. A script is rarely accepted without a great deal of fine tuning and rewrites. Producer may ask for a rewrite whatever the case, stay positive. You may receive a script full of discouraging red marks. However, make the changes and hope the second draft will be better. No matter how good of a writer you are, you will need to make changes for other people's vision. After the first rewrite take a look at every word of your script and make sure it makes sense to the plot, characters and structure.
