Before me and my group write a screenplay I thought that I would write a post about what information I have found on screen plays, and what I learnt during a lesson on a screenplay form Jaws.
What is a screenplay?
A screenplay or a script is the written work by screenwriters for a film, video game, or television program. These screen plays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing, for example, a book being made into a film. In screenplays the movement, actions, expressions, and dialogues of the characters are narrated in great detail.
what makes a good screen writer?
One thing that makes a good screen writer is speed, most common screenplays are one page per minuet which could mean over 100 pages in detail and this could take a long time. So it is important that you are able to produce good quality work at a face pace, thankfully the film me and my group will be making will be around two minuets long so this wont be a big issue. Another thing that makes a good screenwriter is endurance, it is essential that you keep trying no matter how many times you may get it wrong or you may never succeed.
Jaws
During a lesson we looked at a screenplay of a section of the Jaws and looked at how the screen play matched the short part of the movie we watch, we also looked into all the different things that were included on the script, like how the movement was written on the screenplay giving us a better idea of how to word ours and what we will need to include on our screenplay.
after doing some research on screenplays, and focusing on a specific one (Jaws) and identifying what was wrote in that screenplay. I think I have a better idea on how to write one myself which will hopefully come in handy when me and my group decide to write ours.
