Tips for writing a good screenplay

Tips for writing a good screenplay 

  • Start each scene with a slugline.
EXT/INT: Place: Day/Night.

  • Coverage= Several takes.
  • Setups=Camera placement.
  • New scene begins when camera and lights are moved.
  • When in production, team would film out of sequence usually to do everything in the same location on one day.
  • Characters name is in capitals the first time they appear, then the age in brackets, then a description of the character.
  • Characters and locations must be written exactly the same every time.
  • You cannot hide who someone is in a screenplay.
  • An intercut is going between two locations.
