  1. Lesson 13 Drama, Script and Screenplay Writing

  2. Drama • Drama in writing means creating a story intended to be acted out either on the stage or on the movie screen. • Drama writing involves the expression of various emotions.

  3. Script Writing • Script writing is writing what the actors will be performing. • It is a detailed work that incorporates the elements on how to make a story but shown in a different way or format.

  4. Screenplay Writing • Screenplay writing is also the same with script writing the only difference is for whom the script is written. • Writing a script for the audience of a stage play is different when writing a script for movie enthusiasts.

  5. How to Write a Script • Create a title page This shows the title and the contact information of the writer • Follow correct format when creating a script This helps make the work more professional and helps the readers differentiate the different elements like dialogue from an actual scene. • Place helpful details The writer should tell the reader when the scene is happening, where it is happening, who is part of the scene etc. He/she can also add instruction to give the actors a helping hand on how to do a scene. • Mind the length One page of a script shouldn’t last an hour or so. Unlike a book a script must show everything that the writer wants to show in a timely manner.

  6. How to Write a Script • Create a Premise This will help the writer get an idea on which direction he/she would want the story to go. This is the concept of the story or script. • Use an outline The task of writing a script will be easier for the writer if he/she creates an outline first.

  7. How to Write a Script • Research about your story By doing research the writer can make the story or script more realistic. This gives the story supporting details. • Write as simple as you can The writer does not need to use hard to understand words when writing a script. Since it is intended for performance the script should be real sounding.

  8. How to Write a Script • Improve dialogue Again, a writer must think of the audience. Dialogue should be written in a way that would transcend emotion, making the audience feel what he/she wants them to feel. • Ask for other people’s critique After finishing the script, the writer must seek the feedback and suggestions of people who have credibility when creating a script. It helps the writer gain knowledge of what needs to be improved with the story. • Revise The writer must revise his/her work until he/she feels that the story or script is already at its best.
