How to Write a Script
Okay, so you are writing a script for a movie, or maybe for a short movie. Still, your not sure where to begin. Don’t despair, I have some experience, and can definately give you some useful ideas to start you out.
Firstly, you must recognize the difference between script value and production value. Generally, Script Value is literally how good the script is, while Production Value is the amount of capital put into each minute of filming. The level of experience of actors and crew will also help to determine raw content output, but script value itself will determine how good that content is.
This is my personal take on it, and certainly not academic. To put it in simple terms, the higher production value, the more scenes you can afford to produce(more funding allows for more footage; a wider variety of footage), while the higher your script value, the more impactful those scenes are(typically a larger/better script adds more direction to the process). The experience of your cast/crew also determine both of these factors.
Once you understand this, you can select any number of formats for script writing. Their are assorted online, and they aren’t hard to find. You should start, at first, by writing light scripts for secondary projects, and build up to greater scripts for bigger projects.
