Scripting - A starting point

Today I started looking into writing the script for my opening sequence. I was suggested that I look into some software to help write the script as doing it on a normal word processor is time consuming. I have decided to use Celtx for this.

Here is what the program looks like

It looks quite easy to navigate and use. Before I start scripting I think I will get some of the story board done as I am more familiar with storyboarding and hopefully it will give me a foundation for a script. 

Its important that a script is:
  • Clear 
  • Expresses everything that needs to be included in the scene
  • The information is condense and to the point


Scripting is very useful because it presents what needs to be done in a clear and concise way.
The actors as they can see exactly what is going on and needs to be done and when filming not only can I refer to the storyboard I can look the script to make sure everything is being done as it should and I get all of the shots I need.
