The art of writing a play or screenplay is, by its essence, simply storytelling. As you begin your brainstorming sessions and dive headlong into the pure white of a blank page, begin with characters and a storyline that spark your imagination.
Good scripts begin with a good story and good characters.
The creation of a play or screenplay is, by its very nature, a collaborative one. A script is an unfinished work of art. Unlike a novel or a short story, a play or screenplay was never meant to simply be read on the printed page. A play or movie script becomes an experience which a creative team shares with an audience. It is an outline for the action that an audience will witness.
