Writing a script is the most important part of a movie, if you don’t believe me think of the last great movie you saw. I bet it had a great story, and even though it might have had great effects and actors it is the story that really made it great.
If you read that first paragraph and don’t believe me then think of Star Wars or Indiana Jones. The original three of each of these films were great, they had good stories. Now think of the more recent Star Wars and Indiana Jones, they had great budgets and great actors, but they lacked the one thing that they needed a great story.
Now, don’t get me wrong they made it big at the box office, but who cares, they defiled their predecessors because they took these great movies and destroyed them. The point of a good movie is a good story.
The thing is though, it doesn’t really matter how great your story is if you can not put it into the right format, because as good as your story might be there are some rules that you should follow so that almost everyone in your production is on the right page.
Now I’ve talked about script writing programs in the past (click here and here for past posts), and I’m not going to force you download anything you do not want to, but I just thought you might like to know what a script should like with all of the elements in it.
