Writers Research

 From what I’ve been observing, most scripts Iv’e come across all have a a specific font, the font looks quite boxy looking, this font is called 12-point Courier. Coming across this makes me understand when i’m writing my script I should use this font to make it look more like a movie script than a high school script.

The image to the right is called the three-act-rule. This rule kind of looks like a plot. With a rising action and climax etc. Since we are only doing a 2 minute film, me and my group needs to discuss what part of the movie we will be doing, like the introduction, or the climax or what. The three-act-rule basically is just a plot but set up in a more complex form because it’s a film production and not like if you’re writing and finding answers in you language arts class.

Something that can help me as well as improving my writing for this mini film is a screen writing software. A screen writing software can help me use the proper format, and that is a relief because yes, I have done my research on the formatting, yes I understand most of how to do it, it looks pretty easy but whole time it’s most likely not. I’ll also need to start planning so I know what to write but I already know I will have plenty and many errors but we can always fix the errors, and mistakes is just proof your trying and mistakes help you learn. 

Here is a part of the scripting from deadpool that I’ve found, if you can read it clearly, the script has a description of what the actor must do. Which makes me understand I need to do the same thing. As for when i’m making our script I need to add a description for what the actor needs to do and the items the actor must use and what not. In other scripts I’ve also looked upon, they have a description of what the character looks like so I would need to do the same and see what do Christians usually look like.

All of these are a helpful way I can adapt to writing the script, they are all going to be a big help during writing time. I’m ready to start this writing process though, but I have no idea when me and my group are going to start. I feel as we will start writing today so we can start the process because I’ve heard many other people whose started filming already and I am in shocked makes me think me and my group are very behind. So all I’ve researched today was the three-rule act, screen writing software, and the description of the dialog and all of these can help me improve my writing skills and be more efficient.
