#Writing A Script

Little Miss Sunshine was written by Michael Arndt and won the Oscar for best original screenplay. Shout out to Greta Gerwig for introducing me to this technique. Underdeveloped characters are the biggest problem with most scripts. Whenever I write a new character I always ask myself “What is their WANT, what is their NEED, what is their DRIVE, and what is their SECRET.” It’s a great jumping off point to give more depth to your characters. #screenwriter #filmmaking #writer #author #screenwriting

Identify the Scene’s Purpose Before you start writing, ask yourself: What do I want to achieve with this scene? 2. Start with a Hook Begin your scene with something that immediately grabs the reader’s attention. This could be a surprising event, an intriguing line of dialogue, or a vivid description. 3. Build Tension and Conflict This doesn’t always mean a fight or argument—it could be a subtle tension between characters, or a character’s inner turmoil. 4. Show, Don’t Tell Instead of telling the reader what’s happening, show it through actions, dialogue, and sensory details. This makes the scene more immersive and engaging, allowing readers to experience the moment alongside your characters. 5. End with a Purpose Just as a scene should start strong, it should also end with purpose. Whether it’s a cliffhanger, a revelation, or a character making a decision, the end of the scene should propel the story forward and leave the reader wanting more.
