HOW TO: SCRIPTWRITING - Coggle Diagram

- - - - font should be set to 12 points
        
        make sure you have:
        
        a title page,
        
        with your title centred
        
        and underlined
        
        also write who has written the script
  - - - should detail whether the scene is taking place inside (INT) or outside (EXT)
        
        detail who is in the scene
        
        Where the scene takes place
        
        Time of day (DAY or NIGHT)
  - - - Second have a scene heading
        
        Third explanation of what the scene setting is
        
        Film editing instructions should go down the right hand side
  - - - The characters name should be written in Caps lock and centered on the page before each part of dialogue
        
        Each line of speech is then centred and written underneath
  - - - As you're writing dialogue, ask yourself:
        
        "what does this add to the story?"
        
        "What am I trying to tell the reader about the character or the story?"
        
        If you don't have an answer to those questions = scrap the dialogue
  - - - For example:
        if a character is trying to say
        “I need you” have them say it without actually saying it like “Charles, ...do you really have to go so soon?"
